Press Release

Reflection

This document was one article of a two-document project. The other piece of this project is the brochure. The expectation of this part of the project was for me to collaborate with my group members to create a press release announcing the release of our new device, Dog Dialog. As stated on the brochure page, my group founded Pet-tacular, an animal product company. Dog Dialog is a translation device, created by Pet-tacular, that allows dogs’ barks to be translated into human speech.

I had never created a news release before this project. Not having experience with this type of writing allowed me to work on a completely new and different set of writing skills. I was able to work on my group collaboration skills, which also forced me to work on my punctuality. This project enabled me to continue working on my use of plain English and analysis of different professional writing genres. One task I had issues with was the format and design of the document. I used the text book and my teammates to overcome this difficulty. This project was very eye opening for me. I learned that not all professional documents follow block letter format and that each type of document serves a different purpose. I was not only able to increase my professional writing skills through this project, but I was able to work on personal skills through group collaboration.
