 We were given the job to create a newsletter as a team. It was a team project. We had to write up articles of our own, then submit it to the project manager to compile all the articles together. We all had our own roles to play. The objective of the lab mainly was to work together as a team and create a newsletter that looks well in terms of design and include information that is actually accurate and have a source. We made the newsletter mainly by compiling all the articles together in indesign, then we proceeded to create parts of the newsletter that is actually like a newspaper like for example a crossword puzzle and word search etc, and we included them in the newspaper.  We created the newsletter by mainly using InDesign. This is important to web design because we learn to work together and produce content that are emphasized on design. I will most likely use these skills in the future when I'm going to make text type documents, for example a magazine or catalog. Heres my

 The article spj code of ethics mostly speaks about how to be a better journalist and focuses on things that you should not do as a journalist.  Firstly, this article speaks about information that you put on your newsletter, newspaper, and articles etc.It explains that you should verify that the information you use is correct and exact and that you are responsible for the information you give out.You should not summarize information because that most likely leaves out important information.You should also, check if the source is reliable and accurate since the information that you are giving out should be accurate as well.

I used Adobe Indesign to create a newspaper, but first I used word to type out the article of the newspaper. After that I created a new document in Indesign with three columns of text space and a title space. Then I pasted the article from word into these three columns. Afterwards I added different parts of the newspaper that was other than the article, which are, for example an image or illustration with a caption and credit to the owner of it. I also added a pull quote from the original article itself.   In order to do this lab I used Microsoft Word and Adobe Indesign. This is relevant to Web Design because it is related to the layout of a newspaper. And because of that it is related to design and writing text in a special manner. I will use these skills in the future when I am going to create websites since I will have to write text

   For this project we created a poster related to Identity. I think the objective of the lab is to make a poster that is related to Identity in one way or another and another objective was mainly to expand our creativity by creating anything out of creativity related to a topic, for this one was identity. I completed this lab by creating a poster in photoshop. I used a special effect which is called double exposure to emphasize on the visuals of the lab. After that I used text that is filled with different colors to write out a thought that I had that was related to Identity. Thats how I finished the lab.   To do this lab I used Adobe Photoshop. This lab is relevant to Web Design because it is related to design which is a important part of web design itself. It brings out and expands our creativity in terms of design and how we do it and what ideas we have. Thats whats most important in visual design. I will use these skills when I create websites, to make them more appealing to the
