Reflection Post

I cannot believe this semester is over! It has gone by so fast and the semester as a whole seems like a blur. Before my first day of graphics class I was very nervous going into it. I had heard that the class was very time consuming and you really had to work to receive an A. The first resume project seemed easy at first but once I started working on InDesign I was so confused. Everyone said that the resume project would be the easiest and it scared me. Once I was done with the project i was relieved. Since that project has been completed I have used my resume for different opportunities and have received many compliments.

The poster project let me work on something that i was very interested in. I was able to create a fun, creative poster for my sororities philanthropy. I showed the poster to our philanthropy chair and they will be using it next year for our annual pancake breakfast.

Learning InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop has been so beneficial for me. Although each of the programs frustrated me at first ( especially Photoshop) I can say that i can now navigate through each of them. During my interviews for my internships everyone was very impressed that I knew how to use ever program.

Overall, I think that taking graphics was very beneficial. All the time spent in the labs and office hours has let me have a skill I know i will be using in the future!
