Holiday Cheer Shout-Out

I realize this is a record for me - blogging on Saturday!

First, I'd like to thank everyone for a wonderful class. 

As I think back on this course, I realize that much of our class time was taken up with crits. And through the weeks we got a good sense of each other's process and the chance to sharpen our critical crit-making skills. Giving and getting useful feedback and finding inspiration from one another's take on the same assignments, is something to be valued, and I'm sure, a lost commodity in the real world outside academia. In the spirit of giving this holiday, its nice to think of our design class as a forum for giving creative support to one another. 

So, I thought in the spirit of the holidays I would start a "Holiday Cheer Shout-Out" this week. Here's your chance to thank the class for a particular insight or helpful hint that gave clarity, focus or new energy to an assignment this semester.

I would like to thank you for pushing me beyond my first DVD idea. The cover would have worked fine (with the big movie sky lights) but by pushing me into something more unusual - I was able to realize the clear box with the color spectrum. I think my project was ultimately more successful and interesting.
