This second design project challenged me to establish two different, but related audiences and create direct mailers for them in relation to the University of Oklahoma and what this great school has to offer. I was to completely dissect the psyche of each audience and decide what their needs were. With this information, I was […]

Definitely not an expert
So over the last few weeks, we were asked to design two direct mailers for OU Recruitment services. My first one was awful, let me tell ya. However, I became a little more familiar with photoshop as I played with it. That being said, when I was trying to perfect them basing off of Croom’s… Continue reading Definitely not an expert
Reflecting on my Direct Mailers
Over the last few weeks I have been working on some direct mailers for the University of Oklahoma’s Recruitment Services. I was really excited for this project. I decided to write my two mailers for concurrent students and their parents. I was a concurrent student at OU in Spring 2016. I did not [Continue]
Ai yai yai… Photoshop
This design project was fun and a little difficult. We were asked to make two direct mailers that catered towards two different audiences. I thought the whole idea of the assignments was fun and creative, but actually trying to create what I had in my head was a whole other story… I went into the … Continue reading Ai yai yai… Photoshop
Just Keep on Writing

Returning to Photoshop, I definitely felt less anxious and stressed out. Working my feedback into my final draft was actually just a matter of minutes, […]

This took me all day really to do research and find the motivation to do it (ugh spring break is… Continue reading Position Paper
3.2 Reflection
My first stakeholder played a huge role in the development of my second stakeholder, because my second stakeholder is the parent of the first stakeholder. I believed it was important to incorporate a parent as my second stakeholder, because parents often play a huge role in the education of their children and their decision making. […]
Direct Mailers: Reflecting on It More
This week we got to spend more time on our direct mailer and start a new one. My first one was designed for possible concurrent students. Here is what I have on that right now. This week I focused on my second direct mailer. I focused this project on the parents of the possible concurrent [Continue]
Photoshop > InDesign
After defining my first stakeholder I had more of an idea on how to come up with another kind of stakeholder. I didn’t base my two off each other so they are just two completely different ideas. My first direct mailer that I made seemed very cut and paste, very simple and clean cut. It … Continue reading Photoshop > InDesign
