Final Post

I can honestly say this is the best class I have taken at Syracuse. I was dreading to take this class and I thought it would be a horrible experience. I never saw myself as a graphic designer and did not think I could handle the workload. I'm not exactly the most technology savvy person and I thought it would be annoying to go to the labs all the time. I enjoyed my experience, however, and I think because of this class I have acquired skills that will help me in the future and my career. The projects were fun and challenged me in a different way than any other class.
I especially enjoyed the logo system and magazine projects and I think they were my best work. The magazine project took a lot of time but overall looking at the end product all the effort I put into it was worth it. 
I did not find any flaws in the class but I do think the labs were too long and I learned more in office hours than I did in lab. Lab was always boring and the instructor rushed through everything so I did not have a strong comprehension of the material after each session.

I'm going to miss this class a lot and I must admit I'm a little sad it had to end. I will never look at graphics the same and I hope to continue working more with Indesign and Photoshop. It's been a great semester in the class!
