Blog 17 - Interview 3 Reflection
1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview?
-The most important thing I learned from the interview with Mr. Ceballos was the fact that referencing work is the best way to improve yourself as a graphic designer. Quoting him, he said that "Just, I mean, just collecting bits and pieces that you see. So if you’ve ever looked up a catalog or something…" Something he said that also caught my attention was what he said about enjoying your design. "...just appreciate it for what it is. And I think that’s a good way to start out with design, just have fun with it. Don’t be so serious about it, and just see everything that’s possible to you."
2. How has your approach to interviewing changed over the course of your senior project?
-It helped me realize that I need to create interesting questions that will really make the interviewee talk a lot and elaborate more instead of a single sentence or short answer. I need to pinpoint exactly what they want. Just like in graphic design, I need to know the background of the person and their personality in order to think of questions that will really make them come out of their shell. Another important thing is to always use follow up questions. Those are key.
