I don't blog. Or tweet. Or skype. I don't even instant message.
I enjoy looking at other people's blogs- It's just not something I've ever wanted to do.
Imagine my enthusiasm when we were assigned a quarter long blogging experience.
One entry per class beginning with:
1/5 T – Write your personal goals for the quarter, and an action plan for how to achieve them.
My goals for descomm:
1. Become a better sketcher with a more developed style - I think I began to really develop my own style and "system" of sketching last quarter. However, this past quarters coop required zero sketching and I have definitely lost some of my ability. Getting back to consistently sketching, and then really pushing myself to draw more angles and views will help make me a better sketcher. Also, pushing myself to scan in sketches and work them on a cintiq will help me develop a more finished and professional look for my portfolio.
2. Develop a portfolio layout that a) makes sense b) is unique and c) i can easily add project into in the future - I am HORRIBLE at page layouts. Mike Roller mentioned creating a "dumb" layout with gray boxes and filler text. I think this will be beneficial for me. Also, getting more peoples' feedback and input on my portfolio layout would be beneficial. I usually just run it by my graphic designer of a sister before calling it complete. This quarter will be good for me to redo my portfolio because I'm not looking for a new job, so I won't overwhelmed, rushed, and stressed.
