This past week we were asked to write an op-ed and a letter to the editor. The assignment could not have come at a better time. From the information I learned on op-eds, I grasped that this should be something of importance and something that is going on right now. As I sat down on Tuesday … Continue reading Op-Ed Reflection →

Reflection 5.1
This week we switched back over to Indesign. We were asked to pick a Fortune 500 company, submit their logo and then make a dummy newsletter layout for them. I chose Nordstrom because it’s my favorite store and caught my eye on the website. I will admit I was a little rusty after not using […]
Newsletter Layout Reflection
…And we’re back to using lovely InDesign! This week in PR pubs, we are beginning our design project #4. We were first asked to choose a 500 Fortune Company that we would like to make a newsletter for. I had a hard time deciding which company to pick. It was between Disney, Coca-Cola, CBS and St. […]
Creating a Newsletter for Nike
This week we were asked to pick a Fortune 500 company and create a dummy layout of a newsletter for the company. I had no problem choosing an organization I wanted to design for, Nike, but I didn’t expect having such a hard time designing a layout. I struggled with making it both interesting and […]

I can honestly say that I adored this assignment and… Continue reading Hail to the polar bears!
Reflection
This past week we were asked to write a feature story. We had several different topics that we could use. I decided to do a personality feature and write about a staff member in the school of dance. I was a little hesitant at first because I knew I would have to prepare a good … Continue reading Reflection →
Canva Design Blitz: Reflection
This has by far been my favorite week of the course. WOW! CANVA! I love it. I chose Patagonia as my brand because I not only love their products but I feel like their marketing and advertising campaigns aren’t super logo based but are more based on an idea or concept and their overall image, … Continue reading Canva Design Blitz: Reflection →
PR Pub Unit 4.1 Reflection
