About
i
My name is Daichen Wang. I am a third year student who majoring in Informatices and plan to minor in Art. I love graphic design, it provides me with the ability to create what I imagined. Design Fundamentals is the class that focuses on the basic skill of using and understanding design principles and knowledge about 2D and 3D design. In the projects of Gestalt, Color, and Typography, I learned to use Adobe Illustrator. These three projects were aimed to let us know how the shapes and colors influences and interact each other. The Mobius and Container projects introduce the AutoCAD to us. It taught us to create the two-dimensional structures and made it into three-dimensional structures. The Ring and Toys projects explained the program 3dsMax to us and the 3dsMax is on of my favorite program. In the program 3dsMax, we are able to create three-dimensional models and create realistic renderings. It is like the famous game "MineCraft", which allows the players to create their own world with basic unit "Box". The 3dsMax also provides the user with infinity creative space and demonstrate how computer programs can be utilized when planning and creating three-dimensional structures to us. Also, we learned how to use the wood shop and the safety guidelines in it. I have gained a lot useful knowledge in this class and known how the design can make the world better.
