Journal #13
Larry Lessig is really interesting and brings up a lot of good points in his speech. He addresses the issue of plagiarism. He talks about if he internet can bring a lot of good and bad things.
He talks about how everything is available with the internet, and people are bound to make copies of thins. This means taking other peoples images, or ideas, and recreating into a new idea. Anybody with access to a computer can use this as a tool to say anything. This is a big issue in my generation in aspect to my graphic design work, but also with everything such as music, movies, software, etc.

Still waiting on Vimeo to upload my movie, so I will blog it here as soon as I get the email!
Journal #11
Debbie Millman is the president of the design division at Sterling Brands in New York. She has done a lot of very well known work, such as the redesign of Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble, Campbell's. Colgate, Hershey's, and Hasbro. She is the president of AIGA and a contributing editor at Print Magazine. Debbie is a contributor to Design Matters, which is a weekly radio talk show about Design on the Internet.
I listened the The Stefan Sagmeister speech. He is interesting to listen to because of his emphasis on happiness. He discusses his year long sabbaticals he has been taking every seven years, in order to maintain happiness as a designer. He also talks about the documentary he is making about happiness that he describes as being very graphically designed. He Considers himself a designer, not an artist. talks about sabaitacals being neccessary when you are in a 'funk'."design has to work, art does not" Debbie does not agree- she thinks the need to serve a purpose, but rather or not they work is irrelevant, because one thing might make sense to one person and not to another person.

End of Semester Reflection
Wow, I cannot believe the semester is over. I have done so much this year, worked harder than I have ever worked before, and therefore cannot choose just one thing that inspires me the most. I think I learned the most in the last type project with the speeches. I have to admit, I hated that project, but as I was making my last process books for Type and Graphics, I realized I was approaching the design of the books differently, in order to make them flow better.
If I had to choose just one thing, I think I would say I learned the most from the biodiesel project. I had a really tough time with the project, disliked it for a long time, but can see now that I learned a lot from it. I had to struggle to learned how to approach my projects in a better way next time.
This goes for printing and constructing project. Every single time a project was due, I was running around frantically even though I thought I had plenty of time. I learned what works when constructing projects, and what doesn't, and I feel that this was something I had to struggle with to learn to do right.
I think I have learned to think more as a designer outside of class. Even though my blogs probably don't reflect I do enjoy going on design websites and just researching, finding new things that inspire me. I'm really excited for the summer, to have time to look up everything and anything online that I didn't have time to do during the year.
