1. Follow up each lexicon posts and aim to enhance my academic reading ability.

I already done every lexicon posts, the good thing is I followed up almost every reading but I never put up my own words in class. So I just did what other classmates asked. Through those different key works in every week, I can understand better with this class. It really about design, outreach of art, marketing and communication.

2.Transform my “selfish” learning habit into “sharing study” mold. Create a my individual portfolio and post assignments, studying resources, and welcome for everyone give me feedback.

I still remember my first time to post that student survey on my blog. I always don’t like share my works in public space, because I am afraid of receiving criticizing from other people. But now I am really willing to post everything what I interested. Giving information and resources and receiving suggestion is an enjoy process!

3. Grasp basic function on Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to finish my final project-Graphic Standard.

I only know how to use Pre. to edit audio file in my pervious studying experience, and I am very worried about facing computer and technical thing. Although  I still a little worry about my performance in this class, I tried my best to learn to design with Ai, PS and InDesign. So know I got a sense of achievement after finish my graphic standard. But I know I just acquire basic skills with adobe, I still have so much work to learn to do and to design for the next term. But what different is now I am eager to learn that!

4. Try to cultivate my potential creative thinking and design skills. Like how to reband, how to create my organization’s business card, envelope, etc.

What I have done in my prior filed is mass media and communication. To be honest, it was my first time to touch with something more like business  and advertising. It was my first time to really create an organization and kept doing the following stuff. I did it, and I think what I am learned not only a piece of letterhead design, but a new thinking about this field.

5. Starting to analyze marketing factor for a company and finish my case study assignment.

When I just attended  UO, I did know about my career goal. I just follow due day on syllabus. After one term study, finally I find my concentration…Thanks for this case study and other related assignments. Now I think marketing is my goal for next step…
