Semester Wrap-Up

It's hard to believe that the semester has come to an end.  It seems like yesterday I sat down at the computer to start my resume completely clueless as to what I was supposed to be doing.  Now, 15 weeks later, and still a little clueless, I can't believe I made it through this class.

I was never a fan of the late nights and cramming to finish a project.  The feeling of your heart dropping when your computer freezes and you lose everything you were just working on.  Going to office hours thinking you have a great start and seeing mistake after mistake being pointed out.

From the start I knew this class was going to be a struggle for me, I am not a person who is very good with computers to begin with, especially when it comes to things like graphics.  However, I did learn a lot and I now have a new appreciation for fonts and posters that I see around campus.  Sometimes when I look at the projects I have done I can't believe that I did them.  I almost underestimated myself at the beginning of this class, and although I am no where near a professional graphic artist, I did much better than I thought I could do.

Although I was dreading this class, and dreading completing all of the projects, I enjoyed it and learned things that were completely new to me, and also learned skills that I can continue to use throughout my undergrad career as well as my future career.
