Part II Core I

I am an undeclared major with no idea what career path I want to take. I have been speculated majoring in marketing, social work or psychology. I am all over the place with what I might do with my future but one job that I have always fantasized about having is working for a major fashion magazine in New York City. If I could get a job making page layouts for a magazine I would be elated. In order to create layouts employees of magazines use a software program similar to Business Filevision. I could not find out what program major fashion magazines, such as Vogue, use but Business Filevision is very similar to those programs.

Filevision allows users to combine text with pictures to create pages. With this program you can go through the pages easily on your computer as if you were reading the actual magazine and decide where advertisement pages should go. You can also make a spreadsheet to go with the advertisement for your personal information that tells you how big the ad is, how much the company paid for it what pictures are on it. You can also put links that writers send you directly into a page and have it displayed in article form

Since Business Filevision can only run on Macintosh computers I will also have to become more familiar with all the commands of the Mac. I will probably also have to start using organizing tools, such as the calendar, to keep me on track.
