Project 2 Completion

I learned a lot by completing Project 2. Even though I felt like I had a pretty solid background on visual media from last semester in EN11, my knowledge of it grew larger from completing this project. Since my partner and I decided to do a podcast, I feel as though it helped me branch out of my comfort zone. Last semester I chose to do infographics because I feel as though I struggle with creativity, but after doing the podcast, I feel like it was the best choice. We were able to take a dark and somewhat depressing topic and make it interesting, while also adding an essence of comedic relief. I also learned how to fit my work to appeal to a specific audience. It can be difficult to compose and present information to the audience we are trying to reach. The length of the podcast, the language used, as well as the topic of our podcast were all factors that led us in the right direction of deciding who we were creating it for. It was definitely a challenge to organize our ideas into a script that was intriguing to listeners, but I think we did a good job of executing that. I learned all this by brainstorming with my partner Jill, as well as using the knowledge from the podcasts we have been assigned to listen to in the past. This knowledge is significant because I am not always going to be organizing my ideas into an essay format. It is important for me to be able to display my information in various different ways and platforms, especially in the business world. Next, I need to continue to build upon my creative and visual media skills in order to be able to express my ideas for the appropriate audience.
