"Reflecting on the progress I have made this semester has been eye-opening. I feel like I have learned a lot and this class made me believe I am on the right career path. . . . I am excited to print out my business cards, resumes, letterheads, and let people know I mean business." -- D.A. 😎

"I came into this class thinking I wouldn't need it and that I knew what I needed to do. Oh, I was totally wrong. I constantly found myself having 'A-HA' moments. I also found myself noticing design flaws in the everyday world. I know for certain that this course has provided me with design skills that I will use in the future." -- C.B. 🥳

"Before taking this class, I have never seen myself as having the potential to be creative. Starting and progressing week by week in this course I gained the confidence I needed to just go for it." -- A.R. 🔥

"My favorite things to learn was what not to do. I was able to learn my weak areas when it comes to designing, like choosing a poor font or a busy layout. I was also able to identify my strengths, like choosing the right colors. I loved having the chance to be creative." -- N.J. 🤩

"I loved that this class allowed me to sit back and be creative after all the stressful work in my other classes. I am now able to create good designs and pieces using all of the knowledge learned throughout this course." -- C.G. 👩‍🎨

“I feel like I'm walking away with a lot of hands on skills that I will be able to use in later classes, my current job, and later in my profession. I feel that I have grown a lot in my design skills and I'm very proud of where I'm at now. . . . I have really enjoyed getting to soak up so much applicable knowledge in this course that will help me to excel in my career.” - D.H.
🥳 Excited to watch those skills continue to grow and to see what you do with them!

"I will always remember that brainstorming is key in media design and to always have a plan before just going for it and I think that is a motto to live by in our everyday lives." So true, S.W.! ⏸Always take time to follow the authors' guidance to "Step Away From the Computer" before you design, and what a powerful thought that the advice to pause and plan applies to everything -- take time to THINK first!

Students have kept a weekly learning journal so they can watch their progress and keep notes about what they're learning. Reading their final entries this morning has been heartwarming! For example, here's a note from S.W.: "As I am working on the final assignments for this class, I can't help but feel sad it is coming to an end. This semester I have learned a lot about media design and a lot about myself." 🥰

Thank you, VV! It's a bittersweet moment on this end, too, as we wrap up the semester!
"I did not think I would enjoy this class as much as I did. I would 100% take the class again if I could! I absolutely loved the format and I also enjoyed how we were given multiple opportunities to fix our design mistakes in order to continue learning." 💯

"I am going to school to be an elementary school teacher. When signing up for this course, I initially did it because it was a requirement, and I had no expectations of getting anything out of it. However, I think this may be one of the courses I will use the most in my future classroom." -- H.L. 🤩 So excited for you and for your students!
