Recreation of the Editor's Letter

Our assignment was to recreate an Editor's Letter. This is it! This project was really interesting, but it definitely had it's share of ups and downs. I really loved learning how to use InDesign and working with all of the different tools it has to offer. It was difficult at times to figure out which did what or how to get exactly the image you wanted, but by the end of the project I definitely feel more confident about it than I did before. What seemed to happen a lot was that I would, by mistake, make something look really great, but then I couldn't figure out how to do it again. Using InDesign was really an experience. I really enjoyed figuring out how to use this program and learning so much about it.

Experience As a Designer

I haven't had too much experience as a designer so far. I hand make all birthday cards (I've proudly never bought a Hallmark card) and I'm also usually the one to design and decorate school poster and projects. A few summers ago, my friend and I wanted to expand our babysitting clientele. So, I designed flyers to put all over the town. Finally, every time I am at my grandparents house and we have a large number of people coming over for dinner, I design place cards with each persons name on one. And that's about it! Though I haven't have much experience in design, I think this is going to be a great class.
