Self assessments are an important part of our projects. When we do a self assessment we are looking at our work for what it truley is. We look and see which parts of our project work well, and which parts dont. We analyze everything that we just did and look at it in a way that will prepare us well to do something similar. It helps us think about our work and how we did it in a very helpful way.

Introduction
- I am taking this course because I have a passion for art and design. I see art in everything around me from the advertisements on TV to the can of soda i drink out of and i want to become a part of creating all that I see around me.
- I am inspired by the designs on product packages and advertisements. I find it interesting how everything is created with the intention of capturing the viewer and bringing them in.
- My preferred design method includes a mix between pencil on paper and computer software. With products like adobe Photoshop you can do a lot of interesting things with your art.
- I would be most interested in collaborating in projects that involve using computer programs as well as advertisements for items.
