Midterm review, classes and construction paper

I couldn't have asked for a better midterm review. Good feedback on all sides. I wasn't expecting a bad review or anything, but there have been times (recently) when I questioned my design or writing choices. Perhaps it stemmed from a recent (awful) work situation. And it's always difficult to see your work the way other people see it, especially when you've been staring at it for 8 consecutive hours. But, like I said, good feedback from both Stephanie and Allison. I like having my work validated by working professionals outside of my immediate job, especially since they get to see my non-corporate, free-thinking design as opposed to the corporate box I normally work in.

I decided against taking 9 credits in the fall. Why put myself through the torture? Instead, I'm taking Hypermedia this summer and then Media Design and Editorial Style in the fall. I'm pretty excited about Media Design since it seems like it will be a little like digital storytelling, which I find fascinating.

I'm anxiously awaiting the scanned files for our little 2D design project from class on Saturday. I quite liked our "Careful what you fish for" story, but we definitely needed some gray construction paper. Our shark, despite our best efforts, still looked a little like Shamu with teeth.
