I’m a junior in Industrial Design at the University of Cincinnati, and I’ve been introduced to blogging as a useful tool to get ideas out there and show some of the work I’ve done. We are constantly being an active part of the design process- brainstorming, sketching, modelmaking- but don’t necessarily spend a lot of time talking about it. So this is a great opportunity and I hope to gain experience discussing design this quarter.
I also really want to improve in the area of storytelling in order to be more concise when visually communicating ideas and trying to sell them to people. I hope to apply this to my studio project as well as my updated portfolio.
I need to improve with time management so I can quit getting so ridiculously down to the wire with projects. The gant chart we are required to do will hopefully help me stay on track by keeping me mindful of how much time I spend on different parts of the creative process, so maybe I can get less bogged down.
I would like to improve my sketching skills/speed and increase my productivity. I want to really focus on thinking through and flushing out every idea I can think of for each concept, and come up with as many widely different concepts as possible. Using post-its or quick thumbnail sketches tends to help with this. Any time-saving tricks for Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign would help a lot, and even just getting advice on when to use one over the other would come in handy.
