Wow—Did this semester fly by or what? One thing I learned this semester was that its crucial to have good time management skills. This can be a tough one especially for us creative "types".
In addition, these projects have proven to me that you have to plan, plan, plan it out! Sketching is like planting a seed. As you progress through your ideas on paper, at the end you'll have something that makes sense. Hopefully, it turns out to be a beautiful "flower".
I also realized how important it is to work in a team environment. Rarely, if ever, do you work solo in a corporate environment. So the idea of "playing well with others" is another important skill to have. It's all about democracy!
