This year I learned about making
files that can be processed for a RIP. I didn’t even know what a rip was before
I took this class. I learned a lot of different design elements such as how to
properly make COB, convert spot to process, reverses, and how to properly place
content into InDesign. Along with the different design element I learned
through out the year I also learned the importance of packaging files. This
class has taught me that maintaining a good working relationship with the
printing services here on campus is vital to a designers success.
My
favorite project this year was the variable data direct mail piece. I like this
project because I got exposed in databases and the importance of thorough
instructions so the variable data class could create my project with no
problems. I really like learning how to properly create a clipping path COB,
because this is a technique I believe I will find myself using frequently. Over
all I enjoyed how this class simulates client designer projects. However I was
still able to create promotional projects for myself.
