The Last

Through the course I learned a lot of different things, I learned to approach people and make conversation with them and also work with different kinds of people and material. I went to Channapatna alone it was something i thought i would never be able to do. I learned a varied number of skills like shooting a movie and editing it, making tools for communication to over come the language barriers. We also learned to represent data visually, make a scenario and persona and help in enhancing someone else's business with their consent. Working with different kinds of material and prototyping. Technology was another thing that I picked up a lot about. The endless visits to SP Road and not being able to get what i want. I also learned to let things go, experiment and let the product get spoiled if it does in the process. I also started becoming aware of the value of things and the value of effort gone into each little thing. On the whole I learned the design process and it was an interesting experience and i have taken a lot from this course. The only thing that i wish was different with the course was that the work load be distributed equally through the course. i felt like we barely had any work in the beginning and towards the end of it we were bogged down with too much work but then again we are used to doing our work only in the last minute.
