Visual Communication Design
Using visual symbol to transmit information is also called Graphic Design. I learned Graphic Design, Logo Design, Color Design, Layout Design and so froth.
For example: VI Design （visual identity）
VI Design includes basic part and application part.
Basic part includes company name, logo design, standard color, supporting graphics and so on. Application part includes office supplies, clothing, public supplies and so on.
Combined work：For this work, I designed it by using what I had learned, such as color, choosing
contrast color which was so strong that could attract people’s attention; logo design should be simple, abstract, beautiful, for example, this logo chose D and J which were translated into abstract graphic to make it have a face modeling to show this enterprise had strong personality and people oriented.
Color Design
Color Design means color matching. Three elements of color is the most basic attribute, hue, brightness, purity.
By studying this course, I knew how to choose suitable color, such as designing telephone for man; I should choose dark blue, gray and so on, because they were calmer, hale. If I designed products for young people, I should choose some bright colors which was like my graduation work, mainly designed for young women, so the color I chose was lemon green whose brightness and pureness were higher which could make products with more vigor and vitality.
Decoration Structure
According to classification of decoration parts, it was divided into outdoor decoration construction and interior decoration construction. We mainly studied interior decoration construction and knew some decoration material as well as basic method of working. Material：mortar、stone、cement and so on.
Method：plaster、coating、paper and so forth.
By learning this course, I considered more practical matters and analyzed if the plan could be implemented or not when I did interior design. For example, when did house interior design, the story height showed on blueprint was usually 2.9 meters, which could not be actual height, because I needed to consider ceiling height that was about 30mm and ground paving height that was about 5~10cm, so the actual height was about 2.5 meters.
Architecture Physical Environment
This was a course that researched physical phenomenon of sound, light, heat and law of motion to reinforced building function; create suitable living and working environment.
Acoustics：A discipline researched acoustic environment problems, mainly about noise control of interior acoustics and building environment.
For example, I learned sound absorption material and structure.
Sound absorption material：sponge，porous absorbing material and so on.
Sound absorption structure：Cavity resonance structure.（It pointed to cavity with intermediate closed and certain volume.）
Optics：A discipline that it researched how to rationally use natural light and artificial light to create good light environment so that meet requirement of people’s working, life and protecting vision.
For example, interior lighting was divided into general lighting, local lighting and mixed lighting. As for the lighting in market, it was general lighting, but for displaying items, it may turn into local lighting or mixed lighting, such as jewelry counter design which needed local lighting to prominently displayed texture and gloss of jewelry.
Heat Engineering：It mainly researched how to create suitable interior thermal environment to
meet requirement of all kinds of working and producing activities, for example, position of interior heating.
Construction Equipment System
It was such a discipline that created a safe, rational, comfortable living and producing environment. It included three aspects, water supply, drainage works, heating, ventilation, air conditioning engineering, power supply and distribution and electrical lighting engineering.
This course was an elective course. The reason why I chose it was that I hoped to learn some basic principle knowledge to make my design more practical and feasibility, especially for interior design, I would consider something about routes of line and pipeline, and the concrete content were decided after consulting manual and material.
