I have enjoyed being in Com 210 this fall semester. I felt like I was challenged in many ways, but also felt like I learned a lot of useful skills that I can take with me as I grow and get a job in the near future. My favorite project this semester was the graphic design project.  https://erinsblog.fashion.blog/2019/09/20/final-graphic-design-project/ I liked this project because I had the opportunity to incorporate my topic of health and fitness this semester. I also felt like because the directions on this project were not super strict I was able to get creative with my work and make it my own.

            When I did this project, I was learning how to use photoshop and watching the tutorials. I learned many things, such as, simple tools that are in photoshop and some skills that were more difficult to use and learn. Because of how technology is changing and evolving I think that the skills I learned from this will be useful when I get a job within the communication field. I think all of the adobe apps that have been presented to me through this com class I will use in the future and through the rest of my time at Washington State. 

            Especially if I get a job with in Public Relations I think these skills will be relevant. A couple projects that can be useful within a Public Relations job title would be the Photoshop possibly. Because within the PR field I will be working with other companies with ads and important posts that might require photoshop, audio and premiere pro. A website that I utilized multiple times when I got confused or lost on projects and tutorials was YouTube. This was an extremely helpful resource because it visually showed me how to fix something that became complicated.

For my final video story, my topic was fitness and health. I used Makalen Hughes as my fitness model, as she demonstrated three kinds of ab exercise and three kinds of leg exercises. I decided to add background music. I took some of the feedback from my peers and added a song quietly in the background, because I feel like it makes the video more uplifting and a lot more fun to watch. It makes the video seem shorter and I feel like the audience will listen to what I am saying are because the music will engage them to the point where they are just watching it with the intent to hear what I have to say. I think that this was good feedback! When adding it I had some trouble getting the music to be quieter than my voice, but other than that it was pretty easy to figure out! This video is to inform viewers about what these easy exercises, that my model Makalen is doing, and what they are actually working within your body, externally and internally. I also think that if anything, viewers can take away some easy at home exercises and the benefit is that you know what exactly you are working out by watching this video. Overall, I am happy that I choose fitness and health for the semester. I hope that I was able to teach people a lot in and through this video. I am happy with all of the feedback I got and I tried to incorporate in my video as much as possible. Fitness is very important and by watching this video viewers will see what the correct form is. 

My topic throughout this semester has been fitness and health. For this project I had Makalen Hughes demonstrate two different workouts. Abs are something that everyone wants but to be able to achieve. But abs you have always been wanting take some effort and work. In this clip the first workouts you will see is her doing is three different kinds of ab workouts.I explain in the video the benefits of doing ab exercises, such as, abs help assist your breathing, keep your pelvis aligned and it also hold all your digestive organs. These are just some simple exercises that will strengthen your core and give you the ab look you have always been wanting. In the second clip Makalen is doing three different leg workouts. In this clip I also briefly go over some benefits of doing leg exercises. Such as, it prevents lower back pain if done regularly, also helps keep your legs toned and looking healthy and can help an individual loose weight. These are just a few exercises to keep a person happy and healthy. They are also easy exercises that anybody could do at home in their living room. Overall, I think that by working out on a regular basis keeps your body looking and feeling healthy on the outside and the inside. I hope that you learned a little more about fitness and understand what muscles you are working out when you try these at home.
