It has always been enjoyable for me to acquire new knowledge from others and to hear their perspectives on my projects and work. Visual media are essential to us designers because they are a set of visual and auditory techniques that support teaching, facilitating a more robust and faster understanding and interpretation of ideas and offering specific visual messages, and not only that, but they are also fundamental to the culture of our society; art as a creative activity has an effect that is both liberating and healing, as well as one that contributes to personal growth.

Let’s talk about one of my friends/classmates; Her name is Brooklyn, and she is a first-year student majoring in Visual Media. In this blog, I will talk about my experience working with her, as she is a vital person to me at school, and she is a member of the Visual Media group( as I mentioned before.) 

Recently, she came into my classroom like she does every day to say hello, and after that, we began talking about her work and ours. I had a charming and enjoyable conversation with her because we learned a lot about how crucial Visual Media is to develop our visual environment in our work, and she tells us that it happens to them in the same way with our projects. This makes the conversation very pleasant for me, and it makes the conversation very interesting for me.

Following our conversation, Brooklyn tells me that she needs my assistance with one of her projects at school, and of course, I am more than happy to lend a hand. It was a photo section in which I supported her as a model, and she took photographs in various planes, playing with light (lighting) and utilizing leftovers. She performed a task for me that was both very interesting and entertaining at the same time. After she was finished, she took the time to show me how to place the camera concerning the lights to produce photographs of a higher visual and professional quality. This is how we engage with one another, and at the same time, I gained new information.

I believe that the classes in New Media that we graphic designers take on Fridays will be of assistance to us in further expanding our exposure and visual culture.

1- Responsibility :

When you pay for your education, you:
Work extremely hard
-Feel a personal obligation to perform admirably
-Leadership among peers and role modeling
When you demonstrate class loyalty, you:
-Learn new subjects and complete homework.
-Engage in class and with your instructor Manage your school and home responsibilities
-Invest adequate time to do the task effectively.

2- Deliver Results :

Individual outcomes will vary, but supporting individuals should be the ultimate objective:
-Always give your all.
-Honor your commitments.
-Follow-up on projects.
-Team accountable and responsible.
-Success impacts both your personal and professional lives. Friends, family, and roommates, among others, require expected results from us. Daily rituals such as taking out the trash, cleaning your room or home, offering or preparing meals, and remembering/acknowledging someone’s birthday help us develop stronger relationships and achieve more achievements.

3- Frugality:

• Start keeping track of your cash flow as a student.
• As a student, you realize the significance of living frugally.
• Deal with peer pressure that causes you to spend more money.
• Do not get distracted by the trend of spending more money.
• Start reading quality literature as a student.
• Take measures to attain financial autonomy as a student.
• Invest your money to improve your abilities-  Realize as a student that health is wealth.

I believe that the most difficult for me to fulfill is FRUGALITY. As a young person, I was used to partying and traveling almost all of the time, and now that I am only studying, I cannot afford those luxuries. I have to spend as little money as possible to be able to study these two years in the graphic design program.
