Well, I have FINALLY completed my second design project (YAY). I never thought I would see the day. Photoshop has been a real frustration in my life for the past several days, but we have sort of developed a love/hate relationship. For this specific project, we were asked to create a direct mailer for the … Continue reading Reflection →
Reading through chapter three there were many different ups and downs I have with this author. For one, I disagree with the way she feels about the Human- computer interaction. I believe when someone is online, they are looking for an experience to benefit themselves. Quick, easy and non-human help. People like a design because … Continue reading Chapter 3 →
In a total process, working on the direct mailers were a challenging but rewarding process. I really enjoyed getting to know the basics of photoshop and becoming creative with my own design ideas. When I started working on Photoshop, I was saying that my relationship with Indesign was strong, and I didn’t want to break … Continue reading Reflection →
For the second direct mailer design, I chose parents of Native American incoming freshmen as my stakeholder. This target is more interested in services to the student, like scholarships or advising opportunities.

I really enjoyed creating my second direct mailer. For this one, I decided to make it more about past experiences to invoke some feelings of nostalgia. My thought process was that if I could remind alumnae of all of the good things that OU has done for them and helped them accomplish over the years,… Continue reading Reflection on Direct Mailer →
For this assignment, we were asked to read chapter two of Designing for Emotion and write about something that we agree with and something that we disagree with. I will say that honestly, I found this chapter more interesting than chapter one. It seemed more on point than what I have read in the past.… Continue reading Designing for Emotion Chapter 2 →
Because my last stakeholder was focusing on high school students on the west coast who were interested in a journalism degree, I decided to target the alumnae of Gaylord College who are currently living on the west coast. It is my hope that these are the parents, friends, or relatives of our potential students and… Continue reading Stakeholder #2 →
Another busy, busy week of work, but this has been an enjoyable assignment so far. I’m not sure how much my first design influenced my second, because before I even read this weeks lessons, I was still thinking about whether or not I should change it to focus on OU alums, so I got to … Continue reading Reflection
