Reflective Journal #4

This week that just went started with a session mostly spent on a program called illustrator. Illustrator is a program which allows you to create things such as print articles to a more professional standard than say using word. Clearly this was something that was going to be used a lot by my course this year so I spent a few hours learning about the program and the different things you could do with it, again this was very useful to me because I am absolutely rubbish with all technology and can't use things like Illustrator to save my life unless I know exactly what I am doing.

After this I used illustrator to design the layout of the article that I had been working on the previous Wednesday.

The next session was newsroom with the year 1 and 2's from Print, iMedia and Radio. On this particular day we were sorting out the articles in print which were going to be published in the online magazine as part of the launch of the website by iMedia. So we were really working on a tight schedule to get all of our articles finished, prof read and spell checked before the launch and I continued to work on my article on ios updates however, I wasn't sure whether I wanted it for the Winter or online issue. By the end of the day I realized that I wasn't going to be done in time so I postponed it to the winter issue.

Sorry about the lateness of this entry in my reflective journal, anyway until next time.
