Reflecting on My Goals

At the beginning of this semester, I posted my goals for the Visual Communication class in my very first post. Now, at the end of the semester, it is time to reflect upon the goals that I had set out to achieve and what has actually transpired. The first goal I mentioned was learning how to develop a Web site. I can say with surety that this class has taught me how to develop a Web site. From the planning stages to the post-production stages, I have gone through the process of building a Web site. In fact, the shell of the "home" page of the Web site I created in the class is pictured above. Simply put, my first goal has been met.

The second goal I mentioned was learning about the marketing aspect of mass communication. From reading books that covered marketing to actually designing and creating a newsletter for a particular company, this class has definitely met my second goal. I am certain that I know more about marketing and what it entails then I did before I started the Visual Communication class.

My last goal, though it was rather vague, will undoubtedly be met. Because the class was fun, it was easy for me to enjoy the projects and in-class time that I experienced with this Visual Communication class. The skills that I have learned in the programs Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop is just one example of something that I can use in the future that will be of great benefit to me. Overall, my goals and expectations have been met without question, and I have enjoyed my experience in the Visual Communication class.
