Assignment 1b (week1-2)

Here are my learning outcomes:

1. Learn Adobe InDesign which is the professional design/layout program that has become the industry standard in print publishing. I will be able to use the program with no problem on making newspaper layout and design.

2. Other than doing art editing, I will also deal with printing matter. Get to know what the printing process is and how newspaper is distributed.

3. I will have to learn how to deal with customers. Familiar with our newspaper and able to present it to the customers. Whenever the customers have questions, I will be able to reply and give feedback.

4. Practice writing. It will be helpful if I can write, because a lot of time I need to fix text to match the layout.

5. Read magazine and other newspaper that will inspire me on design. As an art editor, being creative and with a highly developed visual sense is important.

6. Pay attention to the trend. I will learn website design since E-paper is getting popular. Flash and Dreamweaver are two programs I will be learning. Hopefully I will be able to make my personal website with flash on it.
