Creativity & Genre

Creativity is a very important life skill. It might not even seem like it, but you're constantly being creative and coming up with new ideas  on a daily basis . Like right now, I  have to  be creative in order to write this because if I wasn't, this wouldn't  flow  and it would just be a bunch of words and boring to read.    Self efficacy  is  similar to  confidence. It is how creatively we perform on a function. I feel that our creativity is more limited in school. With the dress code and even the work we do, they contain  us  and it is harder to just be ourselves. But , as stated in the article, "high levels of creative self-efficacy do not guarantee a successful outcome." This means being creative doesn't mean you will succeed right away. You  have to  balance everything perfect.   For the first time, I  actually enjoyed  this  T ed  T alk and though it was super informational and helpful. ...

To Team or Not to Team

In the 'Lost at Sea" activity I think I scored everything a lot differently then everyone else because I prioritize different things then the other people I worked with. That is a reason I would not be good working in a team with others. I am headstrong and very set in my ways, so if the people in my group were to not agree with me that wouldn't work well.

Also, I don't really know anyone very well in this class so I wouldn't trust anyone enough to do their part. Next, I choose to work by myself on the project because I can do it on my own time, and don't have to rely on others. I have come across problems w...

Decision Day

 My immediate impression of indesign and premier pro is that they are very confusing. It was hard to find everything and I had no clue what I was doing even with the tutorials. The program was just too big and there was too many features. It would be good for someone that is into technology and video editing or something like that, but it just wasn't my thing. I can't ever see myself learning everything about it as there is just too much. I have really never been into making videos like that so it just doesn't interest me.  First off, Premier Pro was very difficult and not my favorite to use. It was a huge program and there were so many functions I didn't even know where to start. It looked very similar to photoshop. Even though pictures are a lot easier to edit than videos, I just did not enjoy trying to find everything and work out all the features. I think that indesign was actually more simple to use then premier pro. There were just too many functions in premier pr...
