Well, as the end of the semester approaches and graduation is only two weeks away, I have started thinking about what I wish I could've done differently and what I am satisfied with...in terms of school, of course. In all, I wish I would've taken more magazine classes. Instead of taking the easier lecture electives I chose, which were convenient at the time, I think I would have helped myself out more by taking more classes within my sequence that actually have the ability to impact my career. Although Advanced Design has been the most demanding class I have taken, which I guess is the point of a senior capstone, I have truly enjoyed the class, the work, and, of course, the people in class, who I feel like I actually understand because I am able to see how they think and visualize information through their design. It's an interesting way to see someone's personality through design, but it really is easy to gather some qualities or quirky behaviors of people through their work, and I think it's fun that I can now almost figure out who may have designed a piece just by knowing the type of work they usually do and the style their work conveys. (everyone can probably figure mine out too, from the lack of ability-haha) On a more serious note, this class has prepared me for any real job I will ever hold and has even forced me into thinking about time management. I am excited to see all of our designs tomorrow at the Meredith presentations and can't wait to review everyone's portfolios to get more inspiration and see everyone's hard work and dedication throughout the semester!
