Hello to all of my fellow blog readers!
Welcome back to my fashion in Pullman blog that I have created as an assignment for my Com 210 class.
I want to explain how much of a learning experience making this blog was. I enjoyed it so much and I feel so accomplished to do something that I never thought I would. Learning how to make things that could entertain people on a daily basis is very unique and I appreciated it very much.
After all of the hard work and dedication, there are a lot of projects and assignments to look back and reflect on. Personally, I did have a favorite out of them all just because I got to accomplish something I never thought I could and actually entertain people. For me, this was the final premiere video project. I have to admit, I did have a lot of issues with premiere in the beginning which is why I was not able to finish my premiere tutorials. Once I found a way around the technological issues, I was able to create such a fun video! I thought this was cool because I compared the video making process to all of the daily YouTube bloggers people watch all of the time. With that, premiere is definitely how they make their videos and I was so stoked to be able to do the same.
If I had to connect any of these tricks I learned throughout this class to my future self, it will definitely be photoshop or illustrator. For my job someday I want to major in Public Relations. With a kind of job like that, you have to be able to be creative with technology is many different ways. In my option, those two adobe softwares are a skill everyone should obtain for the better future. I am also minoring in DTC and this class gave me a huge head start on wherever that is going to take me. I got my feet wet with adobe so I have the confidence to build off it it now.
If I had to pick a skill that I wish I could have learned in this class that I did not it would probably be something along the lines of magazine and news editing. I know we learned how to use photoshop, but the things we did had nothing to do with what I might have to do in the future. Creating ads with products for advertisement and consumer appeal is something I want to someday learn how to do.
I think YouTube and WordPress were the most useful in this situation being that we learned everything on youtube from other people and we wouldn’t have blog posts without how handy and useful WordPress is.
If I had to add any other thoughts, I would like to say that notifying students in advance about how much premiere might not work on your at home computer is very important. The adobe software for premier is very touchy and complicated so maybe finding another way to teach that software to students by making them all come to class that day so the instructor can walk everybody through it would give kids a lot better overall grade, and understanding of premiere.
Thank you for everything!
