College
for Creative Studies: Product Design Department
Week
#0 and 1
2/2-
2/9 and 2/10-2/17
The
first week of my internship was a slow experience. I was greeted by Mr. Schock,
where we sat in the college office and discussed my goals for the practicum
placement, what the placement was for, and what I ultimately wanted to learn
from the experience. I worked with Steve Schock to define what my final product
would be and what questions would help set the goal of my experience. We
discussed what Senior Defense was, and how my practicum placement would
significantly impact my success rate.
Then,
Mr. Schock took me to look at the student work. He discussed the class he was
teaching in the mornings. He is teaching a Warrior Inspired Studio, of which I
can sit in on and work with students at any time. The Warrior Studio is a class
where students are working with designers straight from the studio to design
apparel for the different sports they focus on, specifically hockey. I was
invited to a mini exhibition on Friday, but couldn’t attend because of the
snow-day and a lack of transportation.
I
met students and spoke to one student who was designing a bench for outside usage;
his concept was to an attractive piece of artwork that could be functional
piece of furniture as well. His design was simple, sleek, and clean. It
reminded me of mid-century modern designs I had done summers before when I
studied product design.
