Reflection
Draft
I came into INDS 2325 Professional Practices expecting the business side of design to be familiar, since I've worked in marketing for years. Some of it was. The legal and ethical chapters surprised me more. I learned that most problems designers run into fall under tort law, and that greatly exceeding a client's budget without their permission counts as negligence. Writing the letter of agreement made that clear to me, because every line in it is something I would be responsible for if the project went wrong.
Building this ePortfolio taught me something too. Choosing which projects go on each page made me look at my work the way an employer would. I'll keep adding to it as I finish the business assignments for this course and as I take studio courses.
