Having a one-on-one meeting with a career counselor showed me the different ways I can broaden my horizons on what digital publishing can do for me. Ms. Fewster showed me how my major, graphic design, actually provides me with a variety of possibilities when it comes to implementing the use of digital publishing. By using Handshake, I can find jobs and internships that will allow me to get a feel for how digital publishing and what I learn in my field go hand-in-hand. By meeting with Ms. Fewster helped give me the insight for how I can further my education and my experience in the field that I would like to go in.
Apart from just graphic design, I want to become a novelist in the near future. I believe that this course could help teach me what I need to know about analyzing a target audience and how to format my words in a way to keep their attention. However, in terms of graphic designing, I would like to go into the advertising world; pitching ideas and leading campaigns for a target audience. I learned that digital publishing isn’t about just writing blogs, but it’s about analyzing text, the audience, and the author of said text.
