Reflecting back on my class, Digital File Preparation, I am proud of the work I produced. In this class you learn how to properly package and send an InDesign file for print. Coming into this class, I have already learned everything that was stated in the syllabus. Knowing that, I took the class regardless hoping I would learn it from a different perspective. This is what I learned, new, from PSU: To use tiff and eps over psd. How to properly use paths in Photoshop. Patience is a virtue! and that my classmates are very creative and inspiring. Their final projects gave me ideas I can use in the future.
What I would change: I would do away with the master image list. I would still have the students complete everything on it though. Knowing how to do each of the tasks on the list is important. For each project I would show them one or two of the techniques and have it required on that assignment. Its very important everyone leaves with a bag of tricks to impress their future clients.
Overall I am satisfied with the outcome of the class. I think it is great we, as students, have to interact with Printing and Design Services to get the real life feel to produce a product. That right there is really important for the Graphics field. Just being comfortable interacting with clients and printers.
