Last Project Reflection

Through my own critique I learned a lot. It helps to have another eye when working, it is easy to make little mistakes, ones that could be corrected. In the future I will do field research when designing, so that I can have a better idea of how I should be designing for my client. I will also do more leg work to learn the standards. While I made a strong attempt on this project, I still have areas to work on. Over all I do not feel that I did a poor job, however, there is always room for improvement, and I will take the criticism I received and use it to better my future work.

Through observing other people's presentations we all certainly learn from our critiques and improve, thus the reason for critiques. People need to pay special attention to their board layout, make sure that they have secured things straight, spelled things right, and to not forget important elements such as dimensions and the north arrow. We need to pay closer attention to shadow when rendering, and we need to continue to work with sketchup and other computer aiding tools to better the quality of our work. Over all as first year student I feel we performed well, and we will certainly rise to the standard and quality of work as we are taught more and progress in the program.
