Upon reading chapters 5/6, it came to my attention that repetition was the key to defining differences between similar objects. If you were to date someone and they had a twin, how would you tell them apart? If you can’t, it would not be good. Luckily by focusing on all the similar features, the differences will spring right out at you. This same concept can be held true for graphic designs and illustrations.
The other important ideas of comprehension and retention made perfect sense. They go hand in hand. If one cannot comprehend an idea, then they will surely not retain it. For instance if you ever watch any drama show (or anything on the CW for that matter) at the beginning of each episode they will do a recap of what’s been going on so far in the show. Later at the end they will show the preview which helps review the episode you just watched. Contemplating this reading, I think it gives me some idea for my next project.
