J010 - Reflection & Review of Design 200

I liked Design 200. It was better than I thought it was going to be. A lot of the assignments were fun and manageable.The group projects were cool but it was hard to schedule to meet outside of class but that is why I am glad that we had so much class time to work on our Coleman project. The information we learned through the powerpoints was interesting and I learned a lot I did not know before. I also liked that you got the powerpoint information done early and spent more time on assignments. I also liked the videos we watched throughout class, like the TED talks and the manifesto video.

Reading Reflection 04

I thought these chapters were somewhat interesting, focussing on the context and future of design.  Chapter nine, about design contexts, talked about how different countries have created organizations to group design capabilities. These groups give designers an outlet to reach out to government, industries and others, and the groups can have a general or specific purpose.  The tenth chapter was about the future of design.  I think this chapter is important because it will affect us all as future designers.  The book pointed out that computers were changing how we design, but drawing is still instrumental in the design process.  Over this book was a good way for me to get better aquatinted to design and the design process, will definitely help me to continue to grow as a designer.

Chewie's Course Reflection On Classes 17 & 18


 I learned a lot from this class and I am glad that I enjoyed it without getting tired and bored. I enjoyed all the presentations  I guess the reason was that no one was interested in design and took this class mostly to fulfill GEC requirements. Overall I think the course was a great starting point to learn design. It made design processes, creative thinking towards design and design in business/industry accessible to us.

Chewie's Course Reflection On Classes 13-16

The past two weeks we have just been working on our Coleman for the Home project.  We are all working in different programs to create our final product. I like my group a lot and we created a very useful Facebook page that we post on. We quickly figured out that we all needed to have our laptops with us in class every day to have a productive work session.  Our project is more elaborate than what I had initially pictured when the project was assigned but I think that will make it stand out more. Hopefully our final product turns out well because we all have diverse interests in terms of design.

Chewie's Peer Dialogue 03

Erica T's letter form blog was interesting I thought. My favorite picture was the letter "L" because of the height, angle and shading all make the letter really pop out the picture. The indoor/outdoor assignment was pretty cool as well. 


Scott's letter form pictures are friggin sweet...I like the fact that you spelled design and then drew the overall shape of the object so that way it showed the letter better. I like letter "G" picture cause its creative and I don't think many people would look at that and see the letter form.


Justin's letter form post was cool cause you found all 26 letters of the alphabet, but my favorite was the "Q" picture cause I really don't see a lot of key holes like that. The slide show and the overall organization of the post was very professional as well.
