WTAMU Media Design

"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. 🔥

"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 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." 💯
