As per university requirements, we all have to take a digital intensive class, but I specifically chose this class because it sounded like a course with skills I could genuinely use both in and out of Mary Wash. I founded and run my own goth night and all the social media/outreach, I manage social media and the website for our Psych Department, and as co-president of the Rocky Horror club, I help oversee our social media manager, so I’m hoping that this class will give me a better understanding of utilizing different types of media and learning new ways to harness my creativity for effective designs which will in turn help with my promotional work. I also feel that in an increasingly digitized world, it’s important to understand how the inner workings of different platforms and media work.
