When I began this adventure called DGM 2740: Web Design, I was unsure as to what I would learn, accomplish, and actually design. Now that the semester has come to an end, I am pleased to say I have taken away more than anticipated. Again, I plan on moving into a Masters of Communications program after graduating from UVU – with a focus on Interaction Design. This course, along with another course I took this summer, have sparked that desire. Design brings together my multiple interests, I have finally found my comfortable spot.
While I still have a long way to go, I feel I have laid the foundation of a successful educational experience and future career. While I finish the next three years (yes, three years!) of my undergraduate work (major: Digital Media with a concentration in Project Management; minor: Technical Communication), I will continue to practice the skills learned here, as well as find various ways to implement what I have learned.
What does the near future hold for me? Other than more classes… I will be assisting in the revision of a new media Web site, serving on a major Web site redesign project, revising all of the Web site content for the department I work for at BYU, documenting departmental production procedures and policies, and creating a wiki on which the documentation will reside. I learn best when I implement!
