Well, another semester has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I am legitimately sad that our time in Graphics 217 is over. I really enjoyed this class and know that I will take all that I learned with me. I am a creative advertising major, so these skills and concepts are crucial to my understanding and success in my industry. If I were to go for an interview and be asked to critique an ad (as they so often do), I will be able to impress them with my knowledge of concepts like Gestalt principles, hierarchy, continuity, perception, etc.
Let me just say that we take for granted how much practical experience we were able to get. Sure we moaned every time Danya handed out those project assignment sheets, but in the end, we were truly lucky to be able to create what we did. When selecting colleges I had finally decided on NYU over Syracuse. I visited the city campus and spoke to professors and students, and the one thing they wish that their program had was more opportunity to actually create, use the programs, craft executions instead of just the ideas behind them. I thought to myself, what is the good in that?
Even with all the stress, the loooonnnngggg office hour lines, and unnecessary lab classes (YES I AM SAYING THAT THOSE LABS SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE MANDATORY!!!!!!!) Professor Hedges made the class truly enjoyable and worthwhile. He has a great eye and a clear passion for what he does. All in all, I will never forget my time in this class and the valuable information and skills I have amassed.
