The profile unit was hard one for me, as the documentary unit was last year. By its very nature, the project had me struggling with a strong aversion to taking up people’s time and asking them for what I needed (namely, interviews and photos). The requirements for english were by far the hardest, as essay writing is something I am quick to become frustrated with. However, I’m more or less satisfied with the final product. As for design, I enjoyed taking photos and creating the magazine, even if I left myself too little time to do either. Lastly, web was fun for me in that I was able to play around with javascript and minimalist themes, and I’m quite happy with the final layout and design I’ve created. However, I was admittedly unprepared for the complicatedness of learning After Effects. All in all, this project has been very educational for me. I’ve learned some new skills, as well as what I want and don’t want to be doing in the future.

Magazine
The magazine was an assignment fulfilled using skills from both english and design classes. In english, we wrote papers about our subjects, using interviews as well as other sources to flesh it out. In design, we transformed that paper into a five-page magazine article, using InDesign and skills we learned from last year’s documentary project. All of this unit was informed by our experiences with the documentary project, really, as it had a similar structure and requirements in many ways. The final magazine uses photos and strategically placed design elements to further enhance and contextualize the paper.

Presentation
The presentation assignment was a way to share with our classmates all that we learned and experienced throughout the project. It consisted of 10 slides about both our subject and our experiences during the process of creating the final magazine.
