Phil McCollam

I thought Phil was very interesting to say the least. His whole presentation and portfolio was very humor based. I liked is different approach to presenting to all of us. I felt like he was more personable and in trying to relate to each of us. He seemed very excited about everything he did and I like how he gave us tips on being a better designer. The thing that stuck with me the most was how he said we should keep other hobbies besides designing to keep us more well rounded. The only critique I had was how some of his slides were a little too unprofessional. I understand he was trying to be funny and stick out more, but I didn't get a very professional vibe from some of it.

I definitely appreciated how fresh his ideas and approaches were. I believe that he would add a great dynamic within the professors we already have in our department. He would bring new ideas and great insight to the students. I feel like he was confident in his work and his approaches and I'd like to see more of him.

Aaron G Presentation

Aaron seemed very knowledgeable, but I got more of a tech feel from him rather than a creative design feel. He was a little dry and hard to follow at times. I didn't get any type of personal connection from him. At first he was talking about his work and schooling, but I would have liked to hear more about how he felt about design and why he went into it. Towards the end, he brought up a new iPad app for a library, but I didn't think that related to teaching at a university and him as graphic designer. I thought the idea was neat but I think he focused too much on that part of the presentation. As a student I think it would be hard for me to learn a lot from him. He didn't really keep my interested. Overall, I thought he was intelligent but I don't think he would succeed in that area.
