Self Reflection About a Class

This is my first semester at ART College. For me, it is the very first step for my journey of studying design. The reason why I decided to take this class was that I wanted to try and see if I like enough to continue studying this field or not. Also I’ve wanted to study design and computer programming, so I thought web design was the perfect combination of the fields that I was interested in. Before I started this class, I thought web design is all about making pretty and convenient websites, so I thought graphic design skill is more important than logical thinking or technical process. However, based on what I’ve learned from this class so far, I’ve realized that web designers are required to have not only good design skills, but also the ability to lead the whole website project from the beginning to the end. In other word, web design is not only about placing good design elements on the website, but also gathering information, planning, communicating, coding, and maintaining websites. I think understanding job descriptions and requirements for web designer, and learning the whole process of web designing are the biggest improvements and accomplishments that I’ve achieved through this class.

In the future, I would like to spend more time to fully digest the studying contents before I start assignments, and try not to leave behind anything that I did not understand. Also, I would try to go with more of my ideas that what books tell me, so that I can learn how to develop my ideas and convince my clients and users of my ideas. For the better outcome from this class, I would love to hear from Professor Bennett’s feedbacks on my assignments. It was really good that she gave us her feedback with detail examples on our wireframe assignment, and it definitely helps me to re-do the assignment, and make it better.
