1. What were you asked to do? In this unit, we were asked to a chose a company that we would design a few social media pieces for. We used a new software, Canva, which I loved! We had to go through a few tutorials on the Canva website to ensure that we were prepared … Continue reading Reflection 4.1 →

Social Media Project
This has by far been my favorite week. I have worked with Canva before, so I was excited to see that we would be working with it in this class. I had only done infographics, though, and it was cool to see all the other things that Canva can do. I think it’s an awesome […]
A Reflection on 4.1
Last week I talked about how it was the best project I have ever done, and I have to admit I was very, very wrong. This week was the most exciting, most fun project ever! We were asked to pick another company or organization and do a design project on it. I decided to pick Neiman Marcus, a fashion store that is placed all around the world. It is one of my favorite stores, so what better than to…
Unit 4.1 Reflection
This week, we were asked to create four different social media pieces to represent an organization of our choice. I wanted to represent a well-known company that is not only recognized for their appearance on social media but their ability to reach a target audience in a personal way. Considering these aspects, I did a little […]
Finished Direct Mailer Project
I am so relieved I am finally finished with this project! For this project we were asked to create two direct mailers to help the admissions office here at OU. We could target any specific audience such as incoming students, alumni, parents, recruitment, and so on. I chose to create a direct mailer for seniors… Continue reading Finished Direct Mailer Project
Design project #2 is done!
My second design project is officially done! For the most part I’m really happy with my two direct mailers. I think I improved a lot over the last few weeks. My final drafts are nothing compared to what my rough drafts looked like. While they are far from printer ready they are a lot better… Continue reading Design project #2 is done!
I’m a Pro! (sort of)
Well, I never thought I’d say this, but Photoshop isn’t actually that bad. I know, I know, all I’ve done in the last few blog posts is complain about Photoshop, and don’t get me wrong, we still have our issues, but this week our relationship was not as rocky as it was the last two… Continue reading I’m a Pro!

Final Draft: Direct Mailers
This week we focussed on really honing in on our design projects and finalized the direct mailers that we have been working on! I was definitely excited to really take what I had been working on and putting on the finishing touches. I ended up re-doing my initial design, although despite being overly pleased with…
Final Draft: Direct Mailers
This week we focused on finishing up our direct mailers. I found this assignment more difficult than the last big assignment with the business cards and letterheads. I was much less happy with what I was able to come up with, but I find photoshop to be much more difficult than Indesign. Part of me […]
Postcards for days
Reflecting on this week and this assignment bring me to two different places. For this week, I have felt overwhelmed a majority of the time, on the bright side, I didn’t feel overwhelmed about this class or this assignment, which is awesome. Usually I am afraid of taking online classes, for fear that I will … Continue reading Postcards for days
