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.
