With some hard work and #dedication, here is an updated #RSJ108 tweet on Cody Decker. This wouldn't have been possible without learning the essentials of #design. Thanks for the help @carenroblin https://t.co/rjgJoqbnDN

This tweet was the complete package with my improvement in Photoshop. It took some time and help, but this helped put everything together.

For incoming #RSJ108 students, my best advice would be to learn the software with the resources at @unevadareno. Understand the basics of Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop to master #design both inside and outside of class. If @carenroblin is your instructor, you're in good hands. https://t.co/4qQ9k48a1c

This tweet put a bow on some of the tactics I learned in lab. This particular tweet was a subtle gradient that took over the entire photo. Luckily the dark colors of the laptop and plant made the image visible.

Although simple, this #RSJ108 assignment speaks volumes to how much photography impacts our lives. This #photograph speaks thousands of words in just one image. None of this is possible without @carenroblin bringing it to my attention! https://t.co/GSUnl01RUu

Although I didn't add any elements to this photo, I believe this is the perfect example of incorporating hashtags and @ symbols within one tweet. I blended the three ways to make a "thick" tweet within a couple of sentences.

In my @TahoeOnstage article, I reported on first baseman @Decker6 transferring back to the Triple-A Reno Aces.

"The loquacious first baseman has become an Aces' fan-favorite last year after seasons as a rival player."

This was my first try at linking my news story to a tweet, which didn't go so well. I tried to add a small gradient to add some effect, but it didn't work as well as I envisioned. Overall, this tweet does show the improvement I made as the year went along.

This #RSJ108 assignment really opened my eyes. Sea levels have risen significantly since 1993 and are projected to continue up to 4mm per year. For more information on #sealevels, visit the link here: https://t.co/5DAAwLL7bH

This lab image tweet made me get out of my comfort zone and create a graph with data. Although the image is simple, it helped prepare me for our coding assignment in challenge six last week.

For my #RSJ108 assignment, I met Liam. When I asked how college life was going all he could respond with was "I have two midterms so that's the only thing on my mind right now." #HumansofUNR @carenroblin https://t.co/TnUvyb8zQs

This tweet forced me to get out of my comfort zone and ask somebody to take a photo of them. The image is simple, but I tried to accompany the students at the university in one tweet.

To inspire true creativity, sometimes it has to start with your own two hands. For this reason, this quote really stuck out to me as I go through the obstacles of #design in #JOUR108. But, with the help of @carenroblin it is getting a bit easier each time! https://t.co/boUqSJpSiV

This tweet showed me the basics of applying text to a background without messing anything up. This assignment showed me the importance of organizing layers in Adobe Illustrator.

If I were a #typeface. I would be #Helvetica. Try to be #classic and #timeless when it comes to designing features in #RSJ108. What typeface would you be and why? @carenroblin https://t.co/CtwHBwvVxL

This tweet combined a gradient with text all over a background. It wasn't a perfect creation, but it showed me how to break down how to balance all three.

I never want to regret anything I do now at @unevadareno to the future. I hope with my skills in #RSJ108 and #design I will be able to expand my knowledge in these subjects. @carenroblin https://t.co/D4H7z3XBpm

This tweet displayed another gradient on a background photo. This one helped me learn the importance and the effect a gradient can add to any piece.

With the help of @carenroblin and the friendly advice from students in #RSJ108 I am perfecting the beginning stages of #gradient and #design. Let's make the colors pop! https://t.co/XrdjwDdK06

This was my first gradient I put on a background photo, just to learn the basics. I really like how the blue bleeds over the rest of the photo.

With the help of @carenroblin and the positive lab atmosphere with #RSJ108, I am building up some confidence in #design with Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop. https://t.co/P78DleX5S4

This tweet was my first at attempting to create something on Adobe Illustrator. It wasn't my favorite tweet by any means, but it showed my improvement throughout the year.

Slowly but surely, I am learning the fundamentals of Photoshop! I struggle with the cropping a photo, but I will learn some tactics soon. #wip #RSJ108 @carenroblin #pixels #design https://t.co/otbBqotZ5d

This is a photo from my phone of me learning the basics of Photoshop. This tweet showed my improvement of integrating multiple hashtags and references within one tweet, not just listed at the bottom.

College has helped me explore new things and I'm excited for the #future thanks to the help of several professors and mentors at the University of Nevada! @carenroblin #RSJ108 https://t.co/i9cNOZ2UFl

This tweet was a creative commons photo that was used as a background with a simple text overlay in Adobe Illustrator. This tweet helped me learn the basics of the software I used this entire semester.
