E-mail etiquette is very valuable information to know. As people embark on their educational journey it’s important to adopt more professional mannerisms such as that. After reviewing the PowerPoint over e-mail etiquette I focused on what I thought were the main ideas for my logo: planning and brainstorming, purpose or why the message is being sent, intended audience, main ideas of the subject, and proper use of language. I choose a cellular phone as my logo because I feel that the targeted students, in my case college-aged students, would respond positively to something that is familiar to them such as cell phones and text messages. This would make learning the information interesting and fun. When using Inkscape I imported clipart, utilized shape and text tools, and grouped together layers to get my final product.
This assignment reminds me that when sending an e-mail to a professor to state my main ideas briefly without bombarding them with too many repetitive details, which is what I sometimes find myself doing. In the future, I plan to consult my check list before sending e-mails. I think that most students try to use proper e-mail etiquette but some, not all, lack knowledge of what it intitules. This means avoiding text language, addressing the audience appropriately, and not straying from the original topics of the e-mail.
