#designmajor

Here we had to choose a character, the teacher assigned us the movie and I choose Woody. We had a list of items of information we had to complete about our characters (everyone has a different one).

I watched the move like three times, meanwhile I took notes. I also listened to a podcast and did research in the internet.

First, they corrected the poster and I had to change it a lot.

This is what it looked like originally.

I changed the background and lowered the oppacity. Put boxes so the information was better arranged along with some other miscellaneous stuff.

I’m Nish, I’ve been here forever as a fandom and study posts reblogger but decided to start as a new studyblr! I’m a uni/ college student and currently a research intern. I hope to keep this a space where I can truthfully keep a track of my progress, stop procrastinating and follow the track to my goals. I will try my best to keep this studyblr active by posting about the status of my study/ work routine or what I’m up to, and ngl sometimes it will show my bad days or laziness. Other times, I’ll reblog from our amazing fellow studyblrs as I’ve done so far, because there’s no such thing as too much motivation, amirite?

So since my introduction post, I haven't done much but procrastination.

I watched a lot of Friends, I'm on season 10 right now.

I read a few papers to know about user studies and brainstormed with my teammate to outline my own. I'm supposed to show my Summer progress for evaluation by the end of July, which means in 10 days.

Happy Thing: Our mentor took us out to dinner to this amazing place where they had South Indian Cuisine, but with extra fluff! The dosas (South Indian staple instead of bread, it's like a crepe made from rice flour) were almost like pancakes and they tasted extremely cute!

I've recently been reading and getting to know about Design as a career, and realise how less knowledgeable or confident I am in the field. Hence to fix it I make my goal for Autumn to
