I had never expected to win the blue sock award, it was an added bonus to being a part of the Studio. I am happy that I got to learn Photoshop (at least become comfortable because I know that there is more to discover) and to getter better at Dreamweaver. What I am most proud of is the friendships that I made in the classroom. The Studio created a safe environment of commrodorie that allowed you to open up your projects for review and criticism and not feel anxious about being shut down. Not all classrooms are made alike, and the Studio is definitely a special place. Two things that I did regret was that I mainly stuck to 6190 and I didn't branch out to the other classes until late into the semester and I didn't use my mentor as much as I should have.
Clinton and Rieber put it correctly in the Studio Experience at UGA as they said " As students go to various activities and events scheduled for their respective class, many of them organized by the participants themselves, they meet, help, and interact with a variety of their classmates. It is expected that the more experienced and skilled Studio participants will mentor those with less experience and skill. Of course, each participant has unique responsibilities associated with their respective course, but all have opportunities to call on any of the instructors and other participants for help, advice, and critiques as project development proceeds during the semester. This all-in-one structure helps to demonstrate and explain the requirements and dynamics of the more advanced courses for all participants from the very beginning of the studio experience. This structure also helps to legitimize established aspects of the Studio culture, such as the community service requirement , as each new group of students sees these in operation among their more seasoned peers."

As far as reflection of the showcase, I believe it was successful. I don't have anything else to base it on, but I do know that I got some "customers" who were really interested in my project and found it to be very creative. The weather did put a bit of a damper on things with the amount of visitors who probably would have came, but I believe it was still a success.
Reflecting on my project, I am sure if I look over it again, I will find something to move or to recolor, because it is never 100% done, but I am very happy about where I stopped. It is exactly what I had dreamt it to be, way back in September. I love the colors, the accessibility, the pictures and the story it tells. I am just so proud of myself that I stuck to my guns and finished the project it its entirety.
For the accessibility of the site, I tested it through http://wave.webaim.org/ and
Thank you for a great semester, and I am looking forward to 2 more Studio experiences!
