I took this class because I needed an art credit, and wanted to do a fun, online art because I am terrible at actual art, like drawing or painting. I also took this class because I wanted to learn how to write better papers, and I definitely learned new, and very helpful tactics for that. Although this class was very challenging to me, because it is very technical, I learned a lot. I learned that the projects we did, aren't as easy to do as they look. Like recreating an ad, and making sure the lines and text boxes are perfect, for example, and also paying attention to fonts, and all of the other technical stuff. As for the future, I learned a lot that could help me, so if I ever need to do something for my job, I am fairly educated on the adobe softwares. Also, I know how a good paper/interview should be written, and also I know how to organize a paper with quotes, etc, which will surely be helpful in my future. I liked all of the projects pretty much, but disliked how some of them were so time consuming, and not having enough time to finish them on time. I had a lot of stress in this class because of all the complicated projects and due dates, but I got it all done and that's what matters. Next year for journalism, maybe giving students more time to get ahold of using new software will be helpful because I was lost often. Also, I liked how there were tutorials for every software and project we did, and also ready templates that we could use. That helped me a lot and I would definitely keep that for next year.
