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.

Assignment 1.0

This was a good start to the semester. It was easy enough to accomplish without a large excess of time but it got the gears in motion for Assignment 2.0. It was relatively easy since I already had created my resume, although I did end up making changes to it after assignment 4.0. Seeing other students leave behinds really informed my decisions when creating my own.
