I have reached the finish line in PR Publications with a portfolio of design projects to be proud of! The final project was a reflection of the journey I endured this semester. I chose to create an infographic on Canva and incorporated the Summary of Learning into a consistent “journey” theme. To accomplish this, I added […]

Plan for Domain
After this course, I would definitely like to apply the knowledge I have gained about using a domain to future endeavors. It is an excellent way to organize work into an online, personalized portfolio to show employers. I plan to use the current domain as well as some of the content, however, I would like to start fresh and get rid of some of the blogs because I don’t feel like they are the best representation of what I am…
Decide on your Medium
Out of all the assignments, I thoroughly enjoyed creating the graphics on Canva. I was able to use creativity and still use the guidance from the templates to steer me in the right direction. I liked how organized the site was and all of the templates provided. I also liked the assortment of social media […]
The Summary of Learning
My first experiences with the projects in this class consisted of an overwhelming sense of confusion as I taught myself to use Photoshop and InDesign. These programs were tough in the beginning, but as I continued to apply knowledge from each previous week, I learned how to fully utilize all of the tools they offer […]
Reflection
This week, we were asked to submit the final draft of our newsletter. Although I previously created one dummy layout, I found this to be the most challenging assignment yet. The most difficult part was making sure that each article had a photo, headline, subline, byline, and photo caption. This project was also tedious because […]
Unit 5.1
It was quite the challenge to switch gears this week and familiarize myself with InDesign again! Although it took some brushing up, I was able to create a dummy layout using my Fortune 500 organization. I chose ESPN because sports is the area of PR I am pursuing. As I looked for a good story […]
Unit 4.1 Reflection
This week, we were asked to create four different social media pieces to represent an organization of our choice. I wanted to represent a well-known company that is not only recognized for their appearance on social media but their ability to reach a target audience in a personal way. Considering these aspects, I did a little […]
Reflection
This week, we were asked to complete the direct mailer drafts. Although I didn’t change the content of my projects, I chose to rearrange the layout and change the font color, size and the font itself. It was interesting to watch the overall image transform after thinking my draft looked complete last week. It was […]
Direct Mailer Reflection
This week, I was able to apply my new knowledge of Photoshop to our second direct mailer! We were asked to create another direct mailer that would be relevant to our previous stakeholder. I chose to target the parents of a prospective Sooner because I felt that this would be most effective in terms of […]
Stakeholder
My stakeholder for this assignment will be parents of my previous stakeholder. They are between 40 and 50 years of age, living in a rural area. Both parents are alumni of the University of Oklahoma and consistently donate to the school and regularly attend sporting events. I chose parents of the stakeholder because they will […]
