What did you think of the Design 200 course this quarter?

I thought it Sucked!!!

Just kidding Gabe.

I thought it was a very good class. It was a good introductory to design class. A good balance between learning and work.

Stuff i liked/learned:
-exposure to other designers and what they have done.
-exposure to color theory
-an appreciation for chairs.
-a creative look at everyday items
-the deep dive
-RIP; remix manifesto
-learned about designers and what they designed
-Ted talks
-Final project
-i enjoyed the blog responses, it was much easier for me to write than say if we had to do a short essay.


I thought the Design like you give a damn and Design for the other 90% was very interesting. I know it's more of an industrial design stuff but I would have enjoyed focusing on that a bit more.


Stuff i thought was just OK
-Paul Rand movie - (did not understood a thing he said)
-Haskett reading (felt like a business course reading that thing)

The project went very well for our group. From the start we had a people who were open to new and interesting ideas which created a positive atmosphere that allowed our group to have a successful brainstorming session. Our team met on Sunday the night before our presentation to put the final items together. We decided to use Prezi which was the money maker. It was a bad A** alternative to PowerPoint. Even if we presented the most boring subject at least it would have been fun to look at. We had a well diverse team, we had someone who was good at Photoshop, a good sketch artist, and hardworking responsible people.


I put the majority of the Prezi presentation together, It was a really fun program to learn, very user friendly and easy to create. Choosing the path for the presentation to flow was the funnest part. It was where the creativity of organization flowed. Putting the information in a way that it would tell a story and made the most logical sense. From our process to what our product was and how we came to that conclusion to the technology that would make it work. And then finally our Kiosk and way we would get people's attention when they entered our store. I felt our group was really effective. What could I have done more? I think is should have found more ways to present the text information in forms of pictures instead of text. This was a great team effort and everyone pulled their weight.

The project is coming along well. We made final decisions on what our product will be. We brainstormed on our kiosk ideas and packaging. The creative process was very smooth when we realized we had to make final decisions. Our group worked really well together. Everyone contributed to the whole project in one way or another.

I have brought a lot of ideas to the table, some were used, some were just to generate more ideas, and some were just to lighten the mood. With the information collected from the group i created the presentation. I feel like i do a good job of organizing the information that was need for our presentation. I really enjoyed the project so far.
