Wrap-up Blog Post

As Com 210 comes to an end, I realize what a helpful class it was. This class taught me more about creating a business than any class I’ve taken in high school, and I think everyone who’s looking to create a brand one day should definitely consider this course. Each project I did taught me something new, and this will help benefit me in the future for sure. My favorite project was making a brand image since it was something I’ve done before but improved on greatly through this class. Although the other projects were fun, I did find some challenging since I had different versions then the tutorial I was being showed. Through this course I improved my; Photoshop skills, editing skills, creativity, and much more, and this is all helpful to me because I want to start a YouTube channel and create content that revolves around the basic knowledge I learned in this course. As for my career path I want to follow, I’d like to be an advertiser for a company, and help sell products to consumers, so this class has helped by showing how to create an eye catching logo or even by showing me how to make things more appealing digitally. I also found the readings in the blogging best practice to be a good idea to include, because they helped contribute ideas for making a better project. As for skills I wished I learned throughout this course, I think one thing I learned how to do better is the use of Adobe Premier. I say this because the version I had was different than the one in the tutorial, and this made it harder to locate and edit my videos to make them come off as more professional. I liked working with Adobe Premier because I feel as if it was the one Adobe app that is the most useful for what I want to do with my YouTube videos. Besides the tutorial videos on YouTube, other outside sources that helped me complete my projects included a lot of googling on where to find certain things within the adobe apps. Also, during our logo making project, there was the website that had the color wheel and I thought it was super-efficient in creating a smooth professional logo, however I did forget the name. As for some suggestions and changes I would make to future classes, I would prefer an update version of the tutorials, because adobe has changed a lot about their apps, and I did lose points on a couple projects due to me not being able to follow these tutorial correctly. Besides that minor change, I think this was a great class to benefit my knowledge on multimedia production, and I’m happy I took this course.
