So you guys are awesome. But you already knew that.
It was so great to see everyone's 20 ideas. Even though some of them got a little crazy, it was cool to see everyone's whacky side. It sounded like it was a challenge for everyone, but I think we all did a pretty good job of trying not to repeat the same idea in 20 different ways.
It was nice to go around and get to give our input on which ones to work on. It can either be surprising or reaffirming, and we seemed to have a mix of reactions. I know I usually get too attached to an idea and sometimes it's not necessarily a great one, so to get others' input is eye opening and helpful (duh). For some people it was hard for me to pick just 3 because I thought there were several strong ones, but I guess that's not very helpful to say "omgzzzz i totally like like everyyyyythinnnngggggg". It's also annoying.
I'm particularly excited to see the people's finals that made sketches. I think sketching is a great way to start, even if you're like me and horrible at it. It helps you visualize what you're going to do on the computer better and I think aids in execution since you don't limit yourself in your ideas. There's some things I know I can't necessarily do in Adobe, so if I start on the computer I won't do them. But if I sketch and I think I have a great idea, I can push myself to execute that idea on screen. So kudos to you guys; I'll be doing some sketching this weekend myself :)
