This week wraps up my second term of graphic design classes. It was a challenge to my time management skills to juggle two classes this term, but I loved every minute of it! I realize that this is what I want to be when I grow up! And that’s a good feeling!

One of my classes was on desktop publishing. I learned a new computer program and created a magazine cover, tri-fold brochure, four-page newsletter and children’s book cover (of course, I made a cover for my mermaid book)!

In the other classes I learned about the language and practice of media arts! It was all about storyboarding, lighting, camera angles, sounds, and analyzing commercials. For my final project I created a script for a 30-second commercial for a non-profit organization!

I have next week off and then start another round of classes! I’ll post some of my projects in the portfolio section of this blog.
