Reflection Blog Post

My favorite project during the semester was the one where we created our own logos. I liked this project because I’ve always dreamed of starting my own business and it was fun to brainstorm logo ideas.

I believe that I will use many of the skills learned in this class in the future. Learning Premiere Pro was definitely the most challenging part, but I think that when it comes to making videos for a potential marketing campaign, etc., or an advertisement, this program will definitely come in handy in the future. Also, just going over basics of photography/graphic design is very helpful, as it’s been a while since I’ve thought about the basics, but they are very important.

I hope to be a social media manager for a company, or do something in marketing. Everything we learned in this class could potentially be useful, because these are tools that many professionals use, and employers will likely look for competence when it comes to using these programs. Logo design, creating videos and audio stories all come to mind when it comes to social media.

I think it would have been helpful to learn a bit more about the psychology of colors, and how certain designs and color patterns affect consumers.

The resource I found most helpful outside of the class material is just youtube in general. I had some trouble with the programs and youtube tutorials helped me solve many of them.

Outside of computer glitches, this class was interesting and useful to what I want to do career-wise.
