A Piece On Class: JRN 4440

A Piece On Class:

JRN 4440

I didn't exactly know what to expect before taking the JRN 4440 course but I was interested in the curriculum. My mother is a PC specialist so I kind of grew up around computers. While Photoshop was somewhat familiar, I was not in any way experienced with HTML coding.

My mother, being an expert, is very knowledgeable when it comes to coding and building webpages so I knew of the concept. However,I had never worked with it myself. This was the most challenging portion of the course IMO. The coding is very precise and requires much accuracy. I'm sure with practice this process becomes somewhat easier. 

Photoshop, as I have mentioned, was somewhat familiar to me. My cousins had the program on their laptop growing up so I was always on it. Then I had a little more experience with it in high school. This was the best part to me because I am an artist, so I was able to get a little creative with projects involving the Photoshop program. 

Overall this class was very informative and useful. The coding is something I would definitely need to get used too but in time I'm sure I would be able to. 

This course also helped with some advertising ideas I am currently developing. I will be able to build webpages more efficiently and get creative with Photoshop as well. Self promotion is a big deal in this generation especially in the music industry. With the knowledge I have gained from this course I will be able to promote my music and myself more efficiently and creatively. This is a huge deal for me and my developing career. 

One other thing that I got out of this class was more complete knowledge on the way that the internet actually works and functions. This was very interesting to me having grown up in the "internet age" so to speak. I now know much more than I had before and take the web for granted a lot less.
