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 pro and they were all hidden. Indesign is more obvious and you don't have to look so hard to find what you need to edit your video, so I liked this program a lot better. 

In both programs, there were many logos for the functions, but I have no experience with media or media software, so I had no clue what half of them did, so using this software was very new and difficult for me.

With all of that being said, I like filing and stuff in that area better, I will most likely choose the video, mainly because of the fact that editing the film will be very complicated, and I probably won't be able to figure out the software, so the the video would be better for me. 

In the article "The importance of storytelling" it talked about the editing software iMovie. I have used this before for many projects and it was very simple and I liked it. Everything is super easy to find and I figured out the program super easily because everything was self explanatory and right in front of your face.

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. ...

Peer Review

I received various amounts of helpful feedback on ways to improve my magazine before the final product that I am going to submit to Cambridge. For example, The articles that I have on my content page should also be put on my cover page as like a preview to my magazine, instead of just words to describe my magazine. It was also suggested that I visit a college dorm room and get a picture of that, but that isn't exactly what I am going for because then people might think my magazine is only for college students, when in fact it is not. I need to take more pictures too because I don't have one on the first page of my feature article, but that would improve it greatly.  For the font and the writing, I was told multiple times that I should change the colors of the writing because it was hard to see. If I didn't want to change the color, adding an outline around it could draw more attention to it, but I will probably just change the whole color scheme. Also, my topics on my conte...
