I think the main things I’d like to accomplish this semester are:

• Learn more about the programs in the Adobe Creative Suite I haven’t worked with very frequently, like Dreamweaver and XD, and improve my skills in, uh, all the other ones.
• Improve my taste (for lack of a better word) when it comes to working with color. I’ve been stuck in the Blue and Orange Zone for a while and even though it’s comfortable and it works there’s like… a million other colors out there.
• Work more with integrating text and images in my design work. In my day job I make a lot of slides and I’m constantly trying to come up with novel ways to avoid the IMAGE>BLOCK OF TEXT trap. (I mostly succeed! But I’d like to get better at it.)
• Lastly, I’d like to get a little bit into UX design concepts. I know what bad UX is; what I’m less certain about is how to make it good.
