Exit Interview

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

My EQ is, " What elements are most important for a graphic designer to be at the forefront of his industry?". What I believe my best answer is to my EQ is that in order for a graphic designer to be at the forefront of his industry he needs a set of entrepreneur skills. The reason for this is because the skills an entrepreneur has involve being patient, motivated, having the drive to learn, and most importantly they need to be able to adapt. Without these skills you won't be a good graphic designer, and if you're not at least a good graphic designer, what makes you think that you will be one that is at the forefront of your industry. 

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
When it came time to deciding what my best answer to my EQ would be, I first started thinking about my mentor ship, my Independent Component 1 and 2, and the interviews I had. And after thinking of all those I decided that my first answer is actually my best answer.

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?
A problem I had was picking my best answer, I was deciding between my first answer and my second answer. It took me a few months to make a decision because I believed that both of them are equally important, but as soon as I started to think long term, in the future, I knew that my first answer was my best. 

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

The two sources most significant sources that I used to answer my EQ was an article called" How to Stay Ahead of the Curve as a Designer - Six Revisions.", and another article called "Visual Accessibility in Graphic Design: A Client–designer Communication Failure.".The reason why the first article was significant to me is because after reading this article it gave me information I can do research on for my EQ. And as for the second article, it help me form my third answer for my EQ.
