My plan to take you with me through my studies somehow vanished 
between way to much coffee and deadlines getting closer. 
Where has the time gone my dear Steemit friends? 
Finally, I found a free day and the motivation to catch up with my blog and all the Information you were waiting for all the time 😉

#### Why Product Design?

At one point in life everyone has to figure out what he wants to do for the rest of his life. 
When you are lucky you find something that doesn’t even feels like you are working. 
Like Steve Jobs said:   ___“Look for a job like you don’t have to do one”___

I always wanted to do something creative and something that has an impact at the same time. I looked through various professions, like graphic design, medial arts, architecture… but luckily, I kept on looking and found what I’m doing right now, and I love it!

Product design concentrates at the future and it combines everything I love, like drawing, planning, letting my Ideas flow and creating something totally new with my own hands.

#### From school to University:
All my life I was looking forward to this point. 
Moving out and standing at the beginning of a new chapter.
 
A little anxious but much more excited I signed the contract of my own room in a small flat with two other people.
A whole new town, new people and a new school. 
The first days felt like we were all simply thrown in at the deep end. Twelve hours per day for two weeks we rushed through the most important script of 500 pages, because our prof left the school for one semester. We got two substitutes and two voluntary classes for him. 

Until now every week had between 50 to 60 hours, so there was not much free time to make new friends or doing other stuff, like writing something for Steemit.
At some moments I even missed school and a free afternoon, but all in all I am still as excited as I was in the beginning.

#### My classes:
I got 15 different classes every week! I want to give you a short overview and what we do in each of them:
1.	Free drawing: sketching, simulating textures, perspective, and different drawing technics and materials
2.	Shaping the brand: A class that combines all the steps that are leading to the finished product right from the start, with the goal of creating an own Mp3-player in the design language of a free chosen company.  
3.	Design history: Here we get to know important persons and epochs of design
4.	Technical skills: different programs like InDesign, Illustrator for documentations
5.	Photoshop class
6.	Workshop classes: We have 8-10 different workshops in our school, where we can work independently 
7.	Product design: Here we create an own product with the only requirement of a folding mechanism  
8.	2-dimensional form: A class where we learn about product language and important characteristics of products and some other little projects
9.	Photography: Everything about good product photography with the goal of creating an own advertisement poster
10.	Typography 
11.	CAD: 3-dimensional shaping with the computer 
12.	Technical drawing
13-15. voluntary classes: technical drawing, technical sketching, script

#### End of the first semester:
The first of seven semesters is nearly over, but there is still so much work to do. I am not used to learn more then ten pages for a test, now I have to deal with 500, full of important information. Luckily, it’s very interesting!
I also found a bigger room for the next semesters, just two minutes away from my school.
I’m looking forward for the holidays, but for now I have to get back to work!

#### Thank you for passing by :)
