Before this class I knew about type and how to use it, but I think this class really helped me understand more the way type plays into design. Since all of the projects we did were heavily based on type I had to really push myself to create different ways in using it. I didn’t want my work to be repetitive, so it I tried to try different ideas on each of the project. The LATCH concept was one of the main things that helped with all of the assignment and it made me see the many different ways that I could use type.

The thing that I loved about this semester was all the new things I learned with the adobe programs. I feel like it was a love hate relationship because it was frustrating when I didn’t understand the program, but I think the skills I have gained are really going to help me in my career. Although I don’t feel 100% confident with InDesign and After Effects the skills I did learn is motivation to keep putting in practice time in order to learn more.

I think I am seeing “it”. If by “it” you mean what design really consists of. I feel like this class showed me more of a variety of things that designers can do. I also, realized how well al the projects we did fit together and it gave me a better understanding of what the point in our assignments are. I feel like I asked questions when necessary, but I don’t know if there are ever enough questions. The more I ask the more I learn, so for the time being I think that I asked enough for the projects we did. But in order to learn more I feel like there could have been questions I could have asked.

I think that I have been putting in less practice time then I did at the beginning of the semester since I have had to focus more on other classes. I want to use my summer to try and make up for lost practice time and to put in more expert hours. I think that I did get enough feedback on the projects. I think that I was part of class crits and desk crits. I only missed one class crit but I tried to be involved, and make comments on other peoples work to try and give them feedback. As well as take the opportunity to get feedback on my work.

I think that right now my life is in order. I had a hard time in the middle of the semester finding motivation, but I feel like I am now back on track and am getting all of my schoolwork and personal life together.

I like the class environment and how it’s a most of the time it’s a lecture and then you can work all class and you are available for questions. The style of the class I think helps with not feeling super pressured but I am always reinforced to make good work.

I think that I have grown a lot in skill and in time management since the beginning of the semester. I never realize how much I have learned until the end of the semester, but I am happy with all the things I have learned in such a short period of time.
