Desmond wrap up

On our first day of graphics, I sat down in my chair and said "oh god, I can't wait for summer."  And throughout the entire semester I repeated that phrase on a weekly basis, but now that it's over I feel kind of sad.  The thing is, I've gained so much real and useful knowledge in only four months, I wonder how much more I could learn if it lasted just a little bit longer.  This class has changed the way I see design, it's taught me fundamentals that logically make sense, but I would never have known without being taught.  The best part is now that it's over I have a collection of work, that I created, and I'm proud of each piece, despite how much I struggled over them.  In high school I did well in every class, with one exception, I failed art.   So for me, designing and creating things that are aesthetically appealing was an awesome and NEW experience.  I feel like I've learned a ton of new tools that I'll use for the rest of my life, as well as new ideas about structure and color, functionality, not to mention time management and how to survive without actually sleeping.  The downside is I'll never be able to make a pamphlet for some silly project without analyzing my choice of font- and even if I do decide on one, ill probably always want to email Hedges to make sure its the best choice.  Graphics was an awesome experience and I'm happy I spent over 10 hours of my life sitting outside waiting for office hours.
