What experiences, if any, have you had designing and/or developing print or digital documents that integrate words and images (brochures, newsletters, flyers, reports, web sites, etc.)? Please list and describe any projects you have worked on and the technologies used to produce them. What are your expectations in taking this class and what do you hope to accomplish? What, if anything, makes you nervous or unsure in thinking about this class?
As a programming assistant in the Vice President’s Office for Student Engagement & Enrollment Services, I’m quite familiar with flyer design as we tend to advertise for all of our events in-house. However, my design skills begin and end with Canva. I’ve created a number of colorful flyers, learning about hex codes and spacing in the process, but I’d still consider myself a novice. Thus, my expectation for this class is that I’ll grow in my technical design ability, hopefully translating new skills to the office. I’d like to believe I have a strong creative eye, so my apprehension for this course rests in the technicality of systems like WordPress or Adobe.
