Salam, heyyy evil claw members !!
I was getting a bit worried about y'all not uploading this time around
it was getting late and I was getting nervous cuz neither y'all or
new age uploaded the team post lol
but nonetheless, u guys didn't disappoint and for sure uploaded such a wide range of content
.
Tbh, I did kinda expect y'all to upload something like an encyclopedia
a bit predictable post to me but that doesn't mean I didn't love every single part of it !!!
I firstly liked the fact that it wasn't just a massive encyclopedia with too many sub sections
and u just decided to focus on sections that are mainly popular and exclusive in The B3st
it was a great way to plan ahead.
it's like u made the quality over quantity phrase ur motto for this year
and executed perfectly in my opinion
.
I usually don't rly read massive topics with a lot of information
my attention span can't handle it no matter how pretty or aesthetic the layout was lol
however, u guys almost picked the right amount of content per section
I must say tho, the infographic section was my favorite but the graphics
section above it was a bit confusing to me but I still tried to keep up with
the load of information coming at me haha
.
before i start from my fav section to the rest of sections, I wanted to highlight
a phrase ur leader wrote in the intro about how this is a place
where it's all friendly and more like an escape from reality for some of us
I totally agree, this year's war especially proved to me
-specifically from the hunters members point of view-
is that although with this whole situation happening in the real world
everyone seemed glad to team up and create something fun together
it was kinda helpful to cope with whatever is going on in our individual lives
.
aight aight aight... my fav section ahaha; the infographics
Idk if that fact has to do with just me doing a lot of infographics this season
but Basma was right, once u master the principles of layout and design for infographics
expect money to come rolling in ur pocket ahahaha especially with the pandemic going on
schools, companies, ministries' main communication point with the public nowadays are infographics
simplistic to the mundane eye and has enough info to get the message across without
being a bit too much and boring.
my favorite type of infographics to design are the timeline ones
I feel like it can contain every other type of infographic
and still delivers the purpose of a timeline infographic
unfortunately, I'm not able to do any lessons that contain arabic text/type
but I will def refer to your lesson next time I'm making an infographic
as a new source of inspiration hehe Canva is def a great source of inspiration & templates
for not only infographics, but many design relate templates
I also totally recommend it but advise to not rely on it for a long period of time
if you r a designer that's trying ti figure their style out
I feel like it strains creative imagination over time the more
you use it, the more ur own style becomes very "canva-like" style
.
The part about designers' eye health in the graphics section ...
I can't stress enough how important that information is
and many of us ignored it until it got bad
but not only that but also posture !! not only do ppl in general
forget to fix their posture .. but imagine as a designer sitting in one place for 5~8 hours
cuz u get into work a bit too much .. the outcome is great but over
the years ur posture just spirals to worse state .. bruh
But on a fun positive note, I did one of the lessons cuz I rly liked the outcome of it!!
I hope I did well I did multiple version cuz I just loved playing around with it haha .
kpop .. such a fast growing phenomenon with BTS & BP topping it nowadays
I used to be into it back in uni days ... so much money went into BigBang & BTS merchandise lol
I feel weird being into kpop but not actually knowing much about the first generation ...
the only person I know is Rain cuz of his dramas and many viral songs
that idols still cover to this day haha .. iconic .
I'm not watching a lot of anime/reading manga this year
however I heard about the promised neverland
and it's on my Netflix list but idk but I keep postponing watching it
I heard it's pretty good and shocking but I will soon watch it .. I promise my fav icons ...
.
phewww .. this was a ride. A lot was covered but in the most perfect amount
I loved reading through the sections equally but mostly the infographics one < so biased lol
thanks for ur effort guys ... this war was a wild ride yet again
a bit bumped out only 5 were able to be around this year
but y'all still slayed this post .. props to u
hopefully see u all soon in ur individual posts
salam
