I really enjoyed this article on the A List Apart website and thought that many of you would benefit from reading it, especially in as deep as you are with your first real project. It's hard to cast a critical eye on your own work in the same way you would someone else's, but it's an important skill to develop on many levels.
A List Apart is a site dedicated to web design, but you can find a lot of useful information there for what we do with our study of print design. Of course there are many overlaps, like their section of articles specifically about process and creativity, which I highly recommend browsing.
Other relevant reads from A List Apart:
Demystifying Design
Design Criticism and the Creative Process
Taking the Guesswork Out of Design (written for web design, but can be applied to print as well)
Design Is in the Details
Feel free to use any or all of these articles as prompts for your blog posts!
