In our media design course, we learn to work with professional tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. We are taught the fundamentals of design, including how to use color, typography, and composition effectively. The lessons combine technical skills with creative thinking, allowing us to develop our own design style while understanding the principles behind strong visual communication. It’s a valuable and engaging experience that prepares us for real-world design challenges.
In my first year, I started working with Adobe Illustrator. This is a graphic design program used to create digital drawings, logos, icons, and illustrations.
In class, I used Illustrator to explore shapes, colors, and creative tools to bring my ideas to life.

First Illustrator Task: Robot Design
Our first Illustrator assignment was to design a robot from our own design. The main goal was to get familiar with the program. We experimented with creating clean shapes, combining them, and adding details like eyes, joints, and wires. It was a fun introduction to vector graphics and helped us understand how to build illustrations step by step in Adobe Illustrator.
