Self-Reflections

It’s the middle of the semester and thank god it’s almost over. The first day of class I think I felt the most overwhelmed after we got that syllabus I thought this was probably going to be the worst semester of my life but after some time it’s not that bad. Still bad but not my worst nightmare that’s still that Pinhead guy from Hellraiser.

My Weaknesses:

1.     I am a procrastinator. I almost always wait to the last minute because it’s when I usually do my best work. If I start early on something I do more work than necessary and I try to over complicate the design with mindless stuff.

2.     I really do overcomplicate assignments just thinking about all the elements I would like to do. I think it’s that I’ve seen so many design I like that I’m trying to implement them in one design.

3.     Writing I suck at writing maybe I need to practice more but writing is not really my strong suit. Practice makes perfect though.

My Strengths:

1.     Design I love to develop concepts and think creatively with my design. It makes the process more difficult but I love figure out new things that I can do in design. It makes my future career field interesting because it’s not stagnant.

2.     Color selection: I always try to pull colors from my design so that my piece seems cohesive. When you use colors that are from your design instead of one’s that you like or pulled from your history your design loses something.

How I’m going to improve:

1.     I need to develop a better system to make sure I develop my design over the course of a semester or a design phase.

2.     I have to simplify the method I use to develop and implement a design so that I’m not frustrated at the end of the assignment because I over though how a design should be.

3.     Writing has always been a problem for me so I think that I need to practice more. I love poetry but the grammar part of writing isn’t my friend so I’ve going to the tutor lab and signed up for a gamely account so that has helped me out a great deal.
