The end of a class.. but not the end for TasteBuds

Last Tuesday, the print team and I sent our files to the printer…It was a glorous moment. All day i had been working on the guide, making final adjustments and all the work was worth it to achieve a well designed piece. This project has spaned a semesters period and has taken around three months to complete. I have learned quite a bit from this experience and all the trials and hills to overcome were well worth it. I have come away with a better understanding of client-designer relationships and have learned a good deal more in Adobe InDesign (this was the program used to design the guide).  From every moment I worked on the guide it was well worth it to see the outcome of the final TasteBud product. 

The guide went to print last Tuesday, therefore, the guide will be in the publics hands wihtin the next two weeks. I am excited to see the guide living within the walls of Chattanooga and the surrounding areas. I hope this initiative will impact the community and help others to realize the imporatance of buying local. If consumers spend their income wihtin Chattanooga and surroudnign areas, then Chattanooga will see an impact and the consumer will get the benefits.

In all, by completing the TasteBuds guide, I feel like  i had achieved a huge milestone in my life. I have walked away with a better understanding of  client-based work and will use the knowledge i acquired throughout my days as a Graphic Designer.

Even though the class is finished with the TasteBud project, it will continue to live on in the Chattanooga area.
