Hi all, I'm here to reflect my writing lab journey as a student and as a magazine designer.
two words: tough work
another two words: please persevere
I guess it's easy to slack off and will the urge to procrastinate since I have very little modules to tackle. But then again I've cultivated habits to finish things on time to not get myself into trouble or throw myself in a frenzy. It's really tough when that happens.
Being a student here in writing lab has thought me more than what I've imagined.
I thought it was all write this, here's a theme. Write that, according to ____.
But in class, I've learnt several techniques on coming up with titles, different ways to phrase a sentence, hilarious buzzfeed articles, more of what's in the news and also to also avoid dangling modifiers.
Being a writing lab student taught me to be resourceful on my own, to learn the different types of binding and also to be decisive of what direction the magazine should be steered in.
In writing lab, I've also managed to be more "fluent" in InDesign. Although I'm boycotting this software for about 3 months because of the pain I've suffered, nevertheless am glad I've managed to design something to the group's (and thankfully my) fancy.
What motivated me to choose writing lab was because I saw my seniors designing their magazine and have such an experimental and fruitful time with it made me chose this practicum.
I proudly say that I did not once regret taking up this module. Despite creating such a sleek and clean design, I did manage to play around and touch up on my design skills! (+1 brownie point to Phoebe).
Also glad that I've made friends from other classes and know more about others, something I'd always enjoy. Sad that I won't be able to see them more often but I do hope we'd hang out sometime in the future.
And why isn't the person in my reflection someone I don't know? It's because the reflection's the past and I've gained so much experience and joy in this past semester (god, I'm so cliché I need to be stopped)
Pardon that and I hope you've enjoyed the shenanigans superevoo brought you guys <3
Love always,
Phoebe
