Introduction of Myself

 Introduction of Myself 

My name is Robert Finegan, and I'm a 24-year-old student attending TU Dublin Blanchardstown studying Creative Digital Media. Before looking at TU Dublin Blanchardstown, I have attended three PLC courses: Crumlin College, Ballyfermot of Further Education, and Roslyn Park College. The modules in those colleges range from learning Graphic Design, Web Design, Black and White Photography and Drawing. I like graphic design, and I like using the programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign to create, edit photos, make logos, create brochures and experiment with the many fonts that come with the Adobe Suite. I have also done work experience in a print shop called Millbrook Press located in Naas, which creates posters, business cards, etc. 


I have developed an interest in photography in my second PLC course. Working with a film camera and later developing the film by myself in the darkroom was a perfect experience. I want to get into digital photography, seeing as I have access to the adobe suite and use Adobe Lightroom to edit photos for digital photography. I want to continue photography in the future as it opens up another pathway in the digital media world.

I am looking forward to learning how to use a digital camera instead of an old black-and-white film camera.

During my third PLC course at Roslyn Park College, I was given some advice by one of the teachers who told me I should look at Blanchardstown Creative Digital Media which offers Graphic Design, Web design and Digital Photography. I've done a bit of web design before back in Crumlin college using Adobe Dreamweaver. However, it has been a while since I've done that, but I would be interested in picking it up again, furthering my skills in web design as it would help me develop my website to show off my creative works.

What I hope to get out of this 4-year course is to be trained in graphic design and other creative media to develop advanced skills to work in the field and create visual work. I hope to get a job as a Graphic designer and produce logos, posters and other graphics for clients.

Revising writing

This week I had to read some readings detailing how to be good at reading and writing essays. They are listed below, which are Writing strong paragraphs. Paragraph structure This reading mainly focuses on what is a paragraph and how you go on writing one, and what not to put in a paragraph. This can quickly be done by splitting it up into three paragraphs such as the beginning, the middle and the end. A paragraph would usually be around 250 words that would mainly consist of approximately five or six sentences. The beginning section would usually consist of an idea which would have to be the critical information first before anything else and must be explained very clearly before moving onto the second paragraph. It is also known as the topic sentence. The second paragraph would mainly consist of explaining the idea that was first introduced by the topic sentence. Only this time, you would have to provide evidence of the concept and some examples and define why it is relevant. It is al...

Rewrite #3

Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...

Media representation

For this week, I will be watching some videos on media representation. There are some videos that I will be watching, and after I watch these videos, I will give my thoughts on what they are all about.  Video 1 Why Representation Matters This first video generally talks about representation and why it matters so much, and a needed change. In the video, you have people of different backgrounds, different colours and people of different genders talking about why there needs to be a change in the digital media world of representation, like other stories to be told as a way for people of those different backgrounds, different colours and different genders to watch the content that is happening so that they can resonate with. A way to tackle this issue is to hire people from different cultures to be a creator and let them tell their own story or a story that they know of people that is around them. Have more people of colour in the same room, directing and creative writers.  My tho...
