The University of Georgia New Media Certificate is a 15-hour program where I learned about new media technologies. The certificate has allowed me to gain an understanding of this field and apply that knowledge. New media is incorporated into every job in some way, shape, or form. Having this knowledge of the field, technologies, and how to apply them is extremely beneficial to my future employer as I can bring in new insight and understanding to the company and role. It has given me skills in HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Spark, Adobe Illustrator, presentation skills, client and colleague communication and collaboration, WordPress, and front-end web development. While I came into the certificate program with some prior knowledge of the design aspect, I had no foundation of the digital development but feel thoroughly equipped to tackle any task now given to me regarding that element. The certificate focuses on interactive digital media. The courses I chose to take to complete the certificate were the following: Introduction to New Media, New Media Production, New Media Design, New Media Industries, Introduction to Digital Design and Visual Composition, Multiplatform Production, and New Media Capstone.
