Ride Don't Walk

I really liked this experiment. Even though I got weird looks the whole time, I now know the difficulties that people in wheel chairs suffer everyday. I liked being able to see how they view the world and really how difficult it is for them to get around. I never really realized how much I took my own legs for granted.

Kitchen Design Project

This project came with a lot of work. I never really realized how much goes into designing a room. Even though I fond this project to be a difficult and a lot of work, I am starting to see how all of those steps work together to create a room. And if you miss one a lot can go wrong.

Knoll Showroom

I loved visiting the showrooms of Seattle, especially the 3-Form glass. I have lived in Seattle for 14 years and never even knew about all the unique art rooms that you can visit or get ideas from. I didn't enjoy the house of the immediate future as much, due to the lack of appeal it had, but I did enjoy sketching the buildings around it. I have chosen a sketch I did in the Knoll Showroom below.

Urban Sketchers (Sculpture Park, Seattle)

I loved that we were able to do this on our trip to Seattle. I really like the looking and sketching the unique art work there. I also enjoyed being able to speak with the "Urban Sketchers" who not only gave me great advice when it come to sketching but when using water colors as well. I have noticed that my sketching is getting better the more time I spend practicing angles and drawing people. I have choose the following sketch, due to the fact that I think it represents the view from the park of the unique architecture of the city.

Sechrist Design Firm: Job Shadow

I really enjoyed job shadowing at this firm. I feel like they opened my eyes to what working as an interior designer is really like. They taught me so much, that normally I wouldn't learn about in my interior design classes. After going over their current projects with them, I do feel like I am missing some kind of element, that would prevent me from completing a project like theirs the right way. Taking into consideration that I am a student and am still learning the in's and out's of being a designer, I feel confident that when I graduate I will be more confident in completing a job or project at their level. Especially when it come to sketching, I feel so much more confident now when I sketch, thanks to Juan for letting me in on his sketching secrets.

ID 201 Context Poster

At first I found this project to be be very confusing, but after looking at other the projects of other students who created a context poster off a case study, it became easier. I like the antique look of both my poster and the case study I choose. I think it suits my taste very well.

Project.4- Poster

I thought that this project was an easy one, because everything I did in 102 for that final project was on this one. So i kind of breezed through it. I do like how it turned out though.
