SPJ Code of ethics article summary Reflection Journal

 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. One, more thing, avoid stereotyping at all costs since that can alter they way you write the article and provide the evidence.


Do not write about things that put the readers and the public to discomfort. Show compassion and when speaking about things such as crimes and personal things, be very sensitive about it since that can put the reader in discomfort.

 Do not participate in conflicts of your interest, refuse gifts or other forms of special treatment and avoid paying for information. Do not advertise when writing content.

Journalists should correct information that they know they got wrong and respond to feedback in a respectful manner.

Overall I think the article is instructions on how to be a better journalist and it basically a guide for journalists.

Blending Images

This particular blending images technique enhances the overall design of the medium by using different colors which relates to the name of the medium itself since colors are related to art. The design of the text is important as well since it shows creativity and enhances the overall design even more.                                                  The following text filled with image technique enhances its overall design by blending the image within the text unlike the example on top. It also enhances the design by using and image that is related to the text since an image of water is related to the text "water".

Windows 10 vs Mac Sierra

             There are many differences between mac and windows. The main difference is the user interface. For example, In mac OS there is a dock and in windows there is the task bar. The two look very different in terms of design. Also, Most software are built to run on windows and so mac OS is limited to the software it can run but that doesn't mean mac cant do anything, It can, its just that some software don't run on mac OS. The user experience for the both are great and overall they are just operating systems. Not a big deal.

Reflection Journal for Lab 7

 In lab 7, I used different kinds of filters on the same photo 6 times. The objective of the lab was most likely to see what each kind of filter does to a picture. To do this lab I created 5 copies of the same photo and used 1 different photo on the top right. On each photo I used 6 different types of filters, Artistic, Sketch, Blur, Distort, Liquify, and Diffuse filter. I added clouds in the background and lens flare.   I used a software called Photoshop to complete this lab. This lab is relevant to web design because it shows you what different filters do. But in general, the key thing that I learned is to try different things since it can give you different and sometimes better results. In design, trying new things is important. Sticking to the same thing all the time makes it boring. I will use these skills in the future when I want to apply a certain filter to a certain photo.
