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 […]

A Reflection on Unit 5.1
newsletter-pr2 Above is the “work in progress” dummy layout for my newsletter! While it may not look the best, I am extremely extremely proud of myself for this thus far.

Canva Design Blitz: Reflection
This has by far been my favorite week of the course. WOW! CANVA! I love it.

Design Sprint Adventure
This week, we were asked to become familiar with the design software “Canva.” Personally speaking, I found this software to be much simpler to use than InDesign or Photoshop. For someone like me who prefers simple design software, Canva was much simpler to use. It provides pre-made templates to guide me through making something that…Read more Design Sprint Adventure
