The Final Countdown

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

This is it! The LAST. BLOG. POST. I honestly can say that at one point I genuinely wanted to get in to the whole blogging thing, but now there is absolutely no way. That is not to say that I didn’t enjoy this classes blog, but the work and upkeep that go along with it…

Let’s Choose A Medium

Posted by & filed under Summary of Learning.

  I have decided to do the Direct Mailer design recruiting students for PR Publications in InDesign. Although I may also use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator in creating aspects of it. I think something that could really resonate with future students would be to see what they might be creating themselves and well as how…

This week we got to pic a Fortune 500 company and create a newsletter for them. I was initially super excited about this because I personally love newsletters for whatever reason.

Direct Mailers: Target Stakeholder #2

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Direct Mailers Part 1

Posted by & filed under Reflection.

This week we were asked to begin creating direct mailers for OU Recruitment services. With that also came the task of identifying our first stakeholder for the direct mailer itself. First off I must say that I had no idea what a direct mailer was and had to google around for a while until I…

Direct Mailers: Target Stakeholder #1

Posted by & filed under #stakeholder.

Upon deciding who should be my first target stakeholder I went back to when I was applying to colleges and what I would think about when narrowing down my choices. When discussing among friends I remembered that a lot of my guy friends that were not already going to school for a sport heavily weighed…

Find Your Zen

You know that feeling you get when you first walk into a yoga studio? Its like you walked into a new universe, except this one is weirdly calm, quiet and smells insanely good but also with a hint of sweat. I can breathe a little easier just from stepping into the door. As I take…
