Assignment 5.0

This research paper was actually really interesting because it gave me a chance to research and see projects that I would not have been aware of otherwise. I really enjoyed how image heavy most of the articles I found were, however this made writing a lengthy paper sort of difficult. I feel like I have a more informed view on the topic of Mixed-Use projects than I had in the past, which is directly due to the writing and researching of this paper.

Assignment 4.0

I found this assignment to be very personally rewarding. I really benefited from having my portfolio and resume reviewed by professionals and would recommend the same event or a similar event to anyone. Had I not received feedback from that review, my portfolio would probably have flaws in it that I would never have caught.

I also thoroughly enjoyed attending the Frank Lloyd Wright documentary. I learned a lot about the women who worked for him as well as about Taliesin West.

Not only was this event rewarding because of the activities, but the actual networking was a good skill to have to learn, and hopefully will pan out in the future if I ever need questions answered or help.

Assignment 3.0

This assignment while created in a way that should have been educational and simple enough to accomplish given the correct utilization of time turned out to be rather difficult. While working with a group always has some difficulties, this group proved to be a little bit more tricky. The studio third years could have been more helpful in giving us the information and the images that we needed to be able to create a successful firm and corresponding documents. That being said, I enjoyed my part of working on the branding document and being able to work with the layout. I always enjoy working in Illustrator.

Assignment 2.0

This was one of the most important assignments I completed all semester. It was really time efficient to have a deadline where I had to create a portfolio. I’m not sure that I would have had one of the same quality when I needed it otherwise. The websites we were referred to were extremely helpful and definitely contributed to the layout and design of my portfolio as well as how to organize content.
