Reflecting on unit 5.1

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs, Reflection.

This unit we were asked to pick a Fortune 500 company and then create a newsletter for them. I chose Nordstrom as my company. We were able to use prewritten stories in our newsletter as long as we included 3. We had specific guidelines of what needed to be included in our newsletter. We were […]

Unit 5.1 Reflection

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs.

This week, we began work on our Newsletters. Which meant only one thing, WE FINALLY RETURN TO INDESIGN Throughout these posts, I’ve made no qualms about how much I love InDesign and loathe Photoshop. InDesign just makes more sense to me. With that being said, I am beyond nervous to start this simply because I’ve…

Reflection 5.1

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs, Reflection.

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 […]

I Can(Va) Do This!

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs.

Another week down, another week my design skills were put to the test. After barely surviving the Photoshop from last week, I was kinda hesitant to open the module for this week. When I saw that we would be working with a new tool, called Canva my reaction was: In short, I had never heard…

Unit 3.3 Reflection

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs.

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…

Reflecting on my second design project

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs, Reflection.

Alright, crossing my fingers, but I THINK I’ve finally got the gist of Photoshop. On the first week, I was very stressed about the second design project. I wasn’t fully capable of using Photoshop and eventually gave up. I made my first design project in Powerpoint, which was apparent to Professor Croom. After meeting with […]

Unit 3.2 Reflection

Posted by & filed under PR Pubs.

This week, we were asked to continue working on our Direct Mailers. My first stakeholder helped me define my second stakeholder by allowing me to target the parents instead of the children. I feel like this was easier because I could get right to the point with the parents instead of trying to craft a…

Reflection 3.2

My first stakeholder applies to students who would want a major in Gaylord college. My second stakeholder is for students with parents who are alumni/National Merit Scholars. These two go hand in hand because they both involve academics. I know when I’m an adult I will encourage my children to come here and join Gaylord […]

DEFINING MY SECOND STAKEHOLDER

My second stakeholder will be alumni who have current senior. 17-18 years old, child of alumni, National Merrit Scholars and male or female. The stakeholder I’m targeting is high school seniors with parents who also went to OU. OU is an amazing school to keep in the family. At OU, the education you receive is […]
