Unit 5.2: Reflection
This week we were asked to finish our newsletter and turn in our final draft. And, I must say, it was a challenge. What I found most challenging about the final stages of drafting was finding a layout for the story that had a jump onto another page. Fitting two stories onto one page is something that takes trial and error — quite like a puzzle.
Although challenging, I do enjoy layout design the most. Overall, I think I accurately represented Whole Foods and their style in this newsletter.
Newsletter Typesetting for Dummies…
….haha get it? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. This week, we went back and revised how to set type for a newsletter or print document. I chose Chesapeake Energy as my company, just because I haven’t done a local company yet and because I was curious to research them. I also liked the stories they […]
Reflection 5.1 – Did You See That Pepsi Commercial?
When asked to choose a Fortune 500 company to design for this week the only brand I could think of at the time was PepsiCo. Although it had gained my top of mind recognition because of the recent backlash towards it’s Kendall Jenner commercial, truthfully I do prefer Pepsi over Coca-Cola and similar brands. This … Continue reading Reflection 5.1 – Did You See That Pepsi Commercial? →

My 2 cents
For this assignment, we were asked to write a letter to the editor and an OpEd. This didn’t take me too long, but I felt like I was writing blog posts. I think I followed the rubric and guidelines for both of them but I felt like I had a hard time making them sound… Continue reading My 2 cents
Reflecting on the first part off Unit 5.1
In the first part of this unit, we were asked to start brainstorming designs for a newsletter we are creating for a Fortune 500 Company. I picked General Motors, because the automobile industry is big in the United States and I was interested in it. I reacted well to starting this assignment, because I think … Continue reading “Reflecting on the first part off Unit 5.1”
Your landlord did what?!
How many times have you or someone you know experienced a problem with a landlord before through renting an apartment or house? You’ve probably heard about quite a few horror stories about “renter issues” haven’t you? I know I have. As for me, as a college student, there’s no way I can afford to buy… Continue reading Your landlord did what?!
