Course Evaluation

Design Communications this quarter was very helpful. In class presentations and posted examples were very beneficial. I learned new techniques and improved my abilities. I liked the variety in critique types: sometimes in small groups, sometimes whole class. I enjoyed group evaluations and the personal feedback. The blog was an excellent way to keep track of my thoughts but a group website/blog would be very helpful. Thanks for a great quarter.

Spring Goals

This quarter went well. I am happy with most of my DesCom projects and very satisfied with my HP computer project. My goals for next quarter are to learn more about packaging (especially sustainable packaging), improve my design communication skills, and have fun.

Blogging About Design

Blogging and reading blogs is an excellent way to communicate and learn about design. Next quarter while I am on Co-op I intend to continue to update my blog. I hope everyone continues to do the same and I look forward to reading yours. Good luck next quarter. See you in the Summer!
