I really enjoyed this week’s assignments, I think because it was a chance to promote your client in a really creative way. I had never designed a logo before or created an info-graphic so I had fun experimenting with that and the end result is something I think my client will really enjoy. For the… Continue reading Telling a Story Visually

Reflection 3.3
This week we finished up our second major project. For this project we were asked to create our work in Photoshop instead of InDesign. Using Photoshop was a little bit challenging at first because it had been quite a long time since I last used it. Right when I was getting the hang of InDesign […]
Finished Direct Mailer Project
I am so relieved I am finally finished with this project! For this project we were asked to create two direct mailers to help the admissions office here at OU. We could target any specific audience such as incoming students, alumni, parents, recruitment, and so on. I chose to create a direct mailer for seniors… Continue reading Finished Direct Mailer Project
Design project #2 is done!
My second design project is officially done! For the most part I’m really happy with my two direct mailers. I think I improved a lot over the last few weeks. My final drafts are nothing compared to what my rough drafts looked like. While they are far from printer ready they are a lot better… Continue reading Design project #2 is done!
I’m a Pro! (sort of)
Well, I never thought I’d say this, but Photoshop isn’t actually that bad. I know, I know, all I’ve done in the last few blog posts is complain about Photoshop, and don’t get me wrong, we still have our issues, but this week our relationship was not as rocky as it was the last two… Continue reading I’m a Pro!

Final Draft: Direct Mailers
This week we focussed on really honing in on our design projects and finalized the direct mailers that we have been working on! I was definitely excited to really take what I had been working on and putting on the finishing touches. I ended up re-doing my initial design, although despite being overly pleased with…
Unit 3.3 Reflection
Oh man, Unit 3.3 was easily the hardest unit I think we’ve had to work through thus far. I’ll admit, I do remember the bootcamp week but I feel as if that week pales in comparison to this one. I remember when we were first introduced to this, I saw the words “Direct Mailer” and…
Final Reflection on Direct Mailers!
Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on our second design project: creating two direct mailers. Like the first design project, this project took a couple of tries to complete! I have never made a direct mailer before, so this was quite the challenge for me. However, I decided to have fun with […]
Reflecting on lesson 3.3
Well, another project is down. I feel like I am a new woman who is able to freely navigate Photoshop (definitely putting this on my resume..). This unit, we were asked to create direct mailers for two different stakeholders. My first draft of my first direct mailer was a CATASTROPHE. I left out things that … Continue reading Reflecting on lesson 3.3 →
Final Draft: Direct Mailers
This week we focused on finishing up our direct mailers. I found this assignment more difficult than the last big assignment with the business cards and letterheads. I was much less happy with what I was able to come up with, but I find photoshop to be much more difficult than Indesign. Part of me […]
