Designerly Curiosity - EPIC
I know it's been some time since Valentine's Day, but I made 2 cards for the EPIC fundraiser. It was sort of exciting and I bought one of the cards for my valentine.
I went to the Epiclogue talk the other week. It was very helpful to hear graduates from the Herron VC program talk about what it was like to start their own design business directly out of school. I have been toying with the idea of this a little bit, but I really had no idea what it was all about and what went into it. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to hear the people from CODO and Attic Design talk about their experiences and struggles. When I get closer to graduation and I begin to decide what exactly I'll do, I'll think back to this talk.
This past Wednesday I went to the Epic meeting about sophomore review. I wish I could have stayed for the entire time but I had to leave five minutes early because I had a class I needed to go to. The pictures of how they set up their projects for review were very nice. I had imagined review being something which I had to make everything look grand and perfect, something similar to the way movies show company meetings. Before I heard the entire faculty would be at review, but I'm happy that it will be smaller now. I think it'll be easier to have a discussion with everyone with just 3 or 4 faculty members there. It was interesting to hear them talk about their own experiences like preparing, setting up, what happened at the actual review. I was surprised they said some people were still mounting thier projects and what not the day of thier review. I can't imaigne how stressful that would be, I'm sure it affected thier review. I wasn't worried about review before. It was some far off thing that faculty kept telling me not to worry about and I'll be fine. But with this meeting and getting the paperwork about review it's becoming more real, and more intimidating. But I believe I can pass!
