At the beginning of the semester visual layout and design was not a major point of emphasis in my writing, however, as the semester progressed, I began to consider visual design more and more. This progression helped me to make three visually appealing artifacts that subsequently helped improve each…

sit here and reflect on my experience with writing in my life, I find that I have only truly enjoyed putting my words on paper when they described something that I am passionate for, or heavily interested in.

Throughout this semester, I have learned a lot about how to write a good essay. am not a great writer and I will never be a great writer. My writing this semester has been below average. I find my writing to be very basic and it doesn 't grab the reader’s attention. I have more weaknesses in my writing than strengths. The first thing in the writing process is to choose a topic. My topics during this semester have been ok but nothing outside the box that would grab a reader’s attention. My first…
