Term 1 Study
Time goes fast. Next week will be the last week of this term. Recently I am under the pressure because of the big projects and lots of exams. Be honest, the whole is on a tense note and I have never feel so stressed before, while I think I gain a lot from this term. At the beginning, English is a big challenge to me. Then, the program knowledge which I am not familiar with is difficult for me to understand very well. Fortunately, through the whole term study my listening is improved a lot and I comprehend the knowledge from every assignment, project and exam. Now I want to talk about some programs in this term.
Communication for New Media
In this class, web formatting impress me a lot. We do many exercises and assignments about it and it can make me look good online. I improve my writing ability from this training, also I learn a lot of online writing skills. Such as the basics about headline, subheads, caption and blurbs. What’s more, I learn time arrangement, interview, email marketing, focus writing and so on. These are all useful for me.
Graphic & Color Theory for the Web
We do three projects in this class. I practice color scheme, typography design and layout through the project. I also learn a lot of professional knowledge from this class. For instance, design history, layout on the web, creative typ0graphy and color interpretations.
This is my third project CD sleeve design.
Photoshop CS4
I have learned Photoshop a little bit in my university, so in this class I feel more relax. From Gale’s teaching, I rebuild my Photoshop skills. Especially, I am fond of mask tool. Before I didn’t know how to use it very well. Now I am good at it and I find it is very powerful. This is my mid-term project website design in this class. I am satisfied with it and I get high marks.
In a word, thank you for all instructors’ teaching in this term.
