Fazit

This course caught my attention from the beginning, it had a fixed topic but was open enough for each student to interpret it in their own way. The class felt dynamic and interesting, and each member was free to contribute their perspective. I found a direction for my project relatively early in the semester and this allowed me to explore the topic in greater depth. I came up with many interesting ideas to implement, which at times became a bit overwhelming for me. In the end, less is more, and several ideas I had planned to include were pushed aside to better convey the message.

I spent most of my time researching and organizing my many ideas, always trying not to lose the main theme. I often asked myself: is it imperative that this information be in the text or not? how does this connect to my vision?

Something that resonated with me was an observation about my work, described as experimental work. Until then I have not known how to define my style or process, as I like to try many things, get out of my comfort zone and use a lot of spontaneity. Knowing now that it is just another work process I can learn to calculate better how much time I need to create in this way and enjoy my work more.

Every semester I try to analyze my failures from the past semester and how I can improve them in the next one. One of my biggest weaknesses is time management, and although this semester I felt I was better organized and well within my work schedule, life is full of surprises and I found myself with a broken foot a month before the end of classes and all my organization went down the drain. Studies, work, and personal life required things from me that I was not able to do, I fell behind in my responsibilities and they piled up. Even so, I have done my best to do a job that I like and not waste all the time and energy invested in this project.
