Why Design 200?

I took my first design course last winter and I really liked it. It was one of the funnest courses I had taken and I wanted to get some more exposure to the world of design. I ended up deciding to go for a minor in design and couldn't be happier with my decision. So at any rate I need to take this course to earn my minor, but I would probably take it anyway, because I'm very drawn to design and I think that design thinking is an incredibly useful tool. I find every design field interesting, but I'm most interested in visual design. In landscape arch, we study sustainability very extensively, and I'm always intrigued by how other design fields deal with environmental issues. I'm a strong believer in the interdisciplinary approach to design education, so I'm also hoping that this class will give me a fresh perspective on the work I do for my major.
