1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

I recently got a new computer for christmas, so all i've been doing is downloading my programs, and also researching more about the others I have recently found out! My mentor recommended me to use "InDesign CC" because she often uses it for creating simple graphs and tables for clients and such. I looked into it and bought it, so i'm excited to use it in the future! I have also kept up to date with "AIGA" a graphic design magazine, and also "Creative Bloq" another graphic design magazine. Ive been nothing but a busy bee!

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I learned a lot about "InDesign" and how it is useful to graphic design. I also learned how to paint with more ease on "Photoshop". It did help when I decided to create a few paintings for my friends as their Christmas present. Learning the fundamentals from any of these programs is important to me and to this project.

3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?

I plan to talk about more about the chemistry between the client and the designer itself. Then I will be focusing on the chemistry between the audience and the design itself, or the designers chemistry with the audience (who they may never meet!)
