It’s finally happened! I am now a college freshman.
Currently, I am taking the basic first year program for design students. At my
university, all design students apply for specific majors before sophomore year.
Therefore, I will not be doing much with Interior Design this year. Sad stuff.
Still, I have a dorm room for little projects! Luckily my roommate and I have
very similar tastes.
If I choose to stick with the design college, I will apply
to Interior Design, Industrial Design and Integrated Studio Arts. I am also
considering majors in Communication Studies, Religions Studies and Advertising!
So, what have I been up to, you may ask? Learning principles
of design basically. We have completed one of three projects in my design
studio class; here is me presenting it! [I got an A… Just sayin’…]
The project was to create a poster concerning an issue;
using words and pictures chosen by the professors. We used montage method, which is basically cut-and-paste. Hopefully my
message is obvious. There are still changes I am going to make to this poster, since it's going into my portfolio.
Here is my rough draft, or second-to-last iteration.
It’s fun to see how projects and ideas develop, as more time
is spend on them. Here are a few of the first iterations I did. These were a way to get our ideas out of our heads quickly, so we didn't spend very much time on them.
My current project is a collaborative with three other
students to create a collapsible “passageway”. Once this project is farther along, I’ll post photos.
