Sophomore ID Student Presentations

I recently had the opportunity to attend a few presentation  put together by second year Interior Design students. The project was to find the optimal remodel solutions for a train depot located by downtown Pullman, with their client being an artist of their choice. As with all design projects, they began with an inspiration piece and then followed that with parti drawings. A single parti drawing was then chosen and created the basis for their design of the depot. The design has to also accommodate any visually or physically impaired user that might enter the space to visit the gallery, residence, etc.
I found the presentations very interesting and was appreciative of the opportunity to see what kind of projects that I will be working on next year. By attending, I was also able to gather more information about the considerations that must be made for any handi-capable person. The process included in making space designs was another important factor for me, because it expands on my own ideas of how design should be approached and helps me to better consider other facets of my designs that I might not have thought of before. Overall, the experience provided helpful tips for my projects next year and I truly enjoyed seeing the talented work of the second year students.

Assignment 5- Resume

This assignment was used as an extension of our logo assignment as an opportunity to create a resume that reflects our knowledge of design and personalities as designers. The resume was also a valuable opportunity to become more familiar with InDesign. I had already previously made a resume, which allowed for me to spend more time on the composition and organization of my resume, rather than the content. I was already content with my former resume, however after making this new one, I have found that this one is much more visually appealing and will likely be the copy that I show to interviewers from now on. This assignment not only helped me to learn about proper composition and inclusion of content in relation to design, but it also helped me to experiment more with graphic elements that reflect my personal design aesthetic.

Logo Design

For this assignment, the task was to create a logo that properly represented our design aesthetic and familiarize ourselves with Adobe Illustrator. The project as a whole was challenging, but was very informative in that I am now more comfortable with using Illustrator as well as the Wacom Tablets. Although I am satisfied with my current logo, I can easily see myself making changes in the future as my taste changes.
