I have definitely learned to NOT fall behind, because every aspect of
every project will take you FAR longer than you thought it would.
Printing never works the way you plan, either.

While most of the exercises were helpful, trying to refer back to them
for help on my own projects was frustrating. The instructions seem to
have gaps in them unless you're right there following along, and the
conditions of your own project are never the same as in the exercises
so you have to go in and retrofit what you think MIGHT work based on
the initial instructions.

I took the portfolio class because I knew I wouldn't necessarily have
the initiative to put one together without some sort of force behind
me, so the class as a whole has helped. Although freaking out because
none of it is done on time is not really helping the quality of my
work. Or my sanity.

i agree. it's hard to work fast and produce something you actually
like. i just made baby shower invitations super fast. (got an email at
about midnight asking for some and they wanted me to give the invites
to them printed in three days! and they wanted to put a picture of the
baby mama on the invites.)  AHH!  anyway, i didn't really like the
final product. i wish i would have had more time to think about them.

This semester I learned that people always have different taste and
opinions. Just because I think something is amazing or hideously ugly
doesn't mean the client is going to think the same way. It was a huge
reality check to see what some clients would say was the "best" design
or their favorite was definitely not my favorite.

the website was the most useful. i think that it's obvoius that
developing our identity as a designer is the hardest and most
important part. the website kind of pulls all aspects of you (as a
designer) together and puts them all into one.

um.....least useful? i dont think anything this semester was useful.
maybe i could say the field trip to Horizon b/c i thought it was
depressing. what designer wants to work like that?

building my own website was my most favorite. even though it's not
done (and i plan on updating and adding to it all the time) i love
making it. i really hope to learn more about dreamweaver soon. i want
to be an amazing web designer too!

the timeline exercise because i was freaking out! i was so confused at
the time and i was thinking "what did i get myself into?" but i get it
now so it's okay.

I learned more about reating a website-even though i have still got a
long way to go.

the identity, and the portfolio website

3. Which project(s) or assignment(s) were the least useful?
the exercises and the hw- i really dont get it why in more advanced
classes we still need hw and responses...

4. What project or assignment was your favorite? Why?
the website. it gave me a chance to get all my work together+more
knowledge od dreamweaver

5. What project or assignment was your least favorite? Why?
the hw and the exercises and probably the quiz. the hw because it was
sort of pointless, the exercises -because it never really translated
to own specific project, and the quiz, which again was pointless-when
it really matters-you will know the names and titles...

I agree about the website, and identity being the most important-the
rest was just not.

Meaning...the exercises were NOT USEFUL. at least for me they were
not.Keeping up to date is also crucial. thats why it was so
overwhelming.
