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.
Reflection of Meredith M.
Meredith was very interesting and she kept my attention throughout the entire presentation. I liked how she explained her design process and she seemed very open minded to experiencing different processes. She seemed very engaging and excited about designing and teaching others what she knows. I think her enthusiasm really kept my attention and it made me want to know more about her. I can see her being very helpful in giving good advice and critiques. I really enjoyed all of her work and it seems like she would have a lot to offer in experience. My only critique would be that she would have to narrow down what exactly to teach. I feel like she had so many different ideas and things going on that she would need to figure out a way to structure a class with the basics and guidelines for projects. Overall, I enjoyed her and thought she would be a great fit for the Art and Design department.
