I learned very little from this as I thought that I was lost the whole time. I worked on this project to no avail as I saw other classmates of mine struggling. I worked in the MAC lab for a good amount of time working on this only to be taught my Steven I felt that he did a good job but I wish I was informed before hand. I worked hard and my inspiration was that I love country music to see something I created on the web is great. I was struck by the fact that I could not change the music files. I fixed it by asking for help from some one.

Newsletter


My inspiration for this piece was my love of sports; I can watch all sports at any time. You give me a fanatic about sports and I'll show you me. I liked using people from our school in the project it gave me a little bit of self pride about our school. I had a hard time though fitting the pictures and texts in the right way. I went about it trying to copy and paste but it was not working but I finally got help and fixed the problem and Tucker had me help him as well. If I had more time I would liked to have made specialized pages for each sport and even make the newsletter longer because I feel our sports get overlooked alot and that's not fair. I am proud of what I have created and would gladly put it out there for my peers to read.

What I was trying to accomplish in this project was to show the ways that different companies not just big ones can make brochures and sell products. I used a head shop for example because most shops like this are taboo because 99% of people believe that POT is sold in these places and the merchandise is really for tobacco. The problems were the same for this one as they were for the Poster and it was all because I felt that I did not know the program well enough and got confused on some of the functions. I like the work I have done on it but if i had more time I would have gave the background more color to make it more eye appealing. I am very proud of my work and would not change it but add on to make it better.

Poster



My inspiration for this piece of work was my love for Slightly Stoopid's genre of music. Slightly Stoopid plays a laid back rock that someone can not so much rock out too but vibe to it instead. The hardest part about this project was figuring out how to use Quark because I was having a really hard time and I was even struggling when my own class mates were explaining it too me. I overcame this by seeking help from our professor who sat me down and explained the basics and then from then on out I could figure it out on my own. If I had been better prepared I would have done more with it probably added better color and graphics to attract more eye attention. I am proud of what I have done, I mean it is mine and no can take that away from me but I feel that I could probably make it better.
