Reflection of Graphic Design 1

My social/emotional development is at a mature level. I take my classes and my educational experience seriously. I have the same perspective at school as I would in a work environment. While at school I am focused on my work and projects and conduct myself in a professional manner.

The level of my work has transitioned from medium to high as the semester has progressed, and I have gained more of a grasp on the different technologies and programs utilized within the class.

I try to utilize the feedback I receive from Tuan and my classmates to enhance my work and make continual improvements. I find it hard to be satisfied with a final product and always strive to find ways to improve my work, or tweak it to produce different versions and iterations to try and find alternatives that were not apparent initially. As a whole I would rate my use of feedback as meaningful.

I constantly challenge myself to grow and develop my abilities and techniques in the field of design. I always try to push the limits of what I can do. I have set the bar high for myself, and will continue to shoot higher. Even if I am not the most skilled, I will always challenge myself to push the limits of my capabilities. I would rate my level of challenge to myself as intense.

I provide constructive, productive feedback while emanating positivity during critiques in class. I always try to see the best in things and encourage my classmates to push their creative limits in class and critiques. I do my best to be on time and be attentive in the classroom as well as engage in class conversations. I would say that my contribution to the climate of the class is warm.

My use of practice time has been more consistent as the semester has progressed. I started spending more extended periods of time more frequently than I had earlier in the semester, which has helped my creative flow and the quality in my work.

I feel that I have done my best to meet and exceed expectations in regard to my work and would say that I deserve an A in the class. I recorded 170.5 expert hours which is more than the 123 hours I accumulated the first half, and puts me at 293.5 expert hours altogether for the semester. I need to work on being more adamant about logging my time spent working, I know that there were days and hours that were not accounted for but I am working to stay more on top of that.

I provide constructive, productive feedback while emanating positivity during critiques in class. I always try to see the best in things and encourage my classmates to push their creative limits in class and critiques. I only missed one class due to illness, and do my best to be on time and be attentive in the classroom as well as engage in class conversations.
