I think I had a few failures this semester, mainly the last
couple projects. First is MP4. I think I could have put a significant amount
of more effort into the project. I
should not have used an old recording of my friends and I singing. I think if I had put more time into the
project I could have made a much more creative and interesting piece. I was not as enthusiastic about iMovie and
Garageband as I was about photoshop. My
second biggest failure was MP5. I did
not read the directions, therefore I created something irrelevant. Another failure was the pictures we took at
the beginning of the semester. If I had
put more time into it, I could have taken better pictures.
For most of
these failures, I learned that if I am more enthusiastic about the medium used
or what the assignment is I put more effort and time into it. I think I feel this way because this class is
not a graduation requirement for me, and I took it solely for the photoshop
practice. Also, since it is not a
graduation requirement I know I put the other projects on the backburner for
various reasons (mainly lack of time between my other design classes, I work
for a start up fashion line, senioritis—I’m graduating Dec. 16th, and the never
ending semester by week 11 I was ready to be done with class). As a fashion major, I think that having that
skill is extremely important. I use
photoshop and Illustrator all the time at work now.
I think my
two biggest successes were the two photoshop projects. I thoroughly enjoyed those two projects and
the creative process that went with it.
I learned so many new tools for Photoshop.
If I could
redo a project it would either be the Garageband project or the last
project.
