Pre-Course Survey

The only large design technology projects that I have done so far, were done in school. An example of this would be a movie that I did on Hygiene in Africa, in my 8th grade history class. It was not a real movie, it was basically just several pictures with "touching" quotes and sad music playing in the back round. It sounds really easy, but it actually took a while to do and make the pictures and music come in at the right time. I have also done several movies in drama, where we first just filmed everything and did the same scenes many times. Then we cut out and deleted the scenes that were bad or didn't fit in right and we were left with the good stuff. Eventually we added music made everything fit together right, edited scenes and we were left with a pretty good movie. 

I am hoping to learn how to do proper designs and to get better at trying to make a great design, which now i have learned is very hard to do. I signed up for this course, because I was hoping to learn more about proper designs, colors, shapes, functions etc. but now I have learned that design doesn't have much to do with beauty and has more to do with function, so i am excited to find out more about the importance of function in designs.
