External Hard Drive Back Up’s

You can use a physical hard drive to back up your work. I would advise against always carrying it around with you as it will wear out faster.

You can always set up Time Machine on back to make automated back ups on your external hard drive.

Automated Cloud Back Up Software 

These software and subscription services work in the background to back up your machine to a cloud server. You won't notice it. These services are mostly for emergencies (Computer lost, stolen, dies, etc). They are not for everyday back ups. Check out these resources:

Backblaze + Carbonite

Day to Day Cloud Services 

Dropbox + Google Drive

These services for work best for day to day back ups as well as accessing files you need in the cloud. These services also allow you to move files off of your hard drive and free up space which works great for projects you need to archive for later or things like that. 

Losing your files and not having things backed up is not an excuse for not turning in your work.

Beautiful Users: Designing for People by: Ellen Lupton

In the mid-20th century, Henry Dreyfuss—widely considered the father of industrial design—pioneered a user-centered approach to design that focuses on studying people’s behaviors and attitudes as a key first step in developing successful products. In the intervening years, user-centered design has expanded to undertake the needs of differently abled users and global populations as well as the design of complex systems and services. Beautiful Users explores the changing relationship between designers and users and considers a range of design methodologies and practices, from user research to hacking, open source, and maker culture.
