Reflection on the Syllabus

Welcome back to my blog! In this post, I'll be focusing on the syllabus for this course and what I will have to do. This is my first time ever creating a creative blog. It's also my very first time putting together a professional looking magazine. Because of this, I am very inexperienced in the skills necessary to accomplish this end goal, as well as being unknowledgeable in the elements that would be necessary to make a good media product. However, I believe that the skills I have in researching topics, communicating ideas, and my ability to learn quickly will be very valuable in making both the blog and the magazine.

After reviewing the syllabus, three things that I'm looking forward to are...

 • greatly improving my creativity and visual design skills

 • learning how to communicate with a wider audience through different forms of media, specifically a magazine

 • and getting to reflect on my work throughout this blog to see the progress I've made

Three things that I'm nervous about are... 

 • the many things I have to learn in the near future and the mistakes I will likely make along the way

 • making a magazine that is creative enough to reach Cambridge standards and expectations

 • and the subtle variations in literary technique that go into making a magazine

Regardless, I'm still looking forward to this course and all that comes with it. I hope that this course will help me improve my skills in communicating and conveying ideas to larger audiences. By the end of this course, I should be able to accomplish this goal, as well as have an understanding of the many aspects that go into producing different forms of media.
