My time in JMS 315 has given me a better understanding of the basic design principles that are influential in today's digital media landscape. The basic design principles I have learned include graphic design, time-based media and interactive design.
In this class I created a Wordpress account and executed several multimedia projects.
One of the objectives of this course was to understand how web content is created and used. As part of this goal, I maintained my own blog portfolio website using WordPress. I used this blog to respond and reflect on several reading assignments throughout the semester. I really like creating this blog because it gave me a better understanding on how to develop and maintain a website. I wasn't huge fan of the prompts we were given. The most challenging aspect was creating the wordpress account and figuring out how to navigate through it. This will help me in my professional career if I ever need to develop a website. I provided 2 examples below:

The following is an Infographic I created. It describes the ROI of social media marketing with statistics that show why this form of marketing is beneficial. This was a great learning exercise because it not only taught me how to create an influential graphic but also gave me a better understanding of social media marketing. Overall, I really enjoyed this project and think it will be beneficial for my future career in marketing.
Class Reflection:
With the semester coming to an end I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve learned in JMS 315 and how it will help me in my future. I graduate this December and have plans to pursue a career in social media so writing this post alone and learning how to navigate WordPress will be beneficial as I move forward. My favorite project I worked on this semester was the Infographic project because I think this is something I will be able to apply in my future and use as a reference when working in marketing. It was interesting learning about video and audio editing because this is something I knew little to nothing about beforehand. I think this will help me in my future because visual content is dominate on the web now so having this knowledge helps me stay up-to-day and relevant. |
I created a YouTube account to embed the video and audio editing projects I created:
The falling is the link to my video editing project. In this video I discuss SDSU marketing issues and interview students to get a better understanding on the extent of this problem. This was a great opportunity to learn how to use a video editing app that will be helpful for my future in marketing. I didn't really like the app we required to use because it was difficult to understand but after I got the hang of it I found it to be easier.

I found this application really easy to navigate. I like that I was provided with the sound clips I needed to use for this project. Overall, I don't think I really liked the prompt we were given but It was easy to accomplish and a good first-timer experience. I don't think I will need to use a audio editing app in my future but if I do I will be grateful for what this project taught me.
