The website is finally done!! Throughout my final project, I used Wix to create my own website. I started with a template that was meant to be used for tennis. I then added many features. The website itself is used as a form of design. Then, I added inspirational quotes for the writing aspect of my project. […]

I have decided  to do an instructional website as my final project.  I will use the website itself as a media of design. I will use tutorials with video. Audio will be included in the voice over for my instruction. I will also use photography to help demonstrate tools and techniques. For this project, I […]

Well this week certainly was a roller coaster. Being a web week made it so much fun for me. I especially love that I get to find new web tools like some of the ones I used for assignments and play around with them for a little bit. I did 10.5 stars worth of assignments […]

I really enjoyed playing around with X ray Goggles for this assignment. I chose the page that was normally used for UMW’s Women’s Tennis Schedule. Instead, I turned this into a Women’s Curling schedule. I changed all the teams that we played, and I also changed all the scores. It took a while to edit all of the […]

Tutorial for Cropped Signs I didn’t exactly do this assignment, but I did a remix for it. So I’m going to walk you through everything it took me to do the remix (which was adding a mustache to my final product), but if you do not need the remix, you may take away the last step. […]

(But I’ll shave it for later) Assignment: Cropped Signs Original Assignment Description: We think of creation as addition, but there is a form of creation by deletion (e.g. Newspaper Blackout poetry http://newspaperblackout.com/) In this assignment, you need to change, alter, enhance the meaning of a sign by cropping out parts of it.

I’m just a senior over here, waiting for the day I can get out of this place (as much as I’m going to miss it). 35 days till commencement, and I couldn’t be more freaking excited. Moving on, here’s what went down this week. The majority of my week was taken up by my___. It […]

This week was a great group effort. We completed the group video project, and I would say that it went even more swimmingly than the radio show. The group had the script written out by this week when we decided to meet. We communicated once again through google docs, and we used the same kind […]

Even though we have looked at video before,  this week involved more analyzing of camera placement, and why directors chose certain shots over other. I learned how important the rhythm of a scene is, and how it can make a scene feel awkward when done wrong and it can make it almost humorous when its […]

Week 9 was another good one. It was nice to have the work load taken off our shoulders a little bit, especially since we put so much effort in the radio show the previous 2 weeks. Speaking of the radio show, we had some great ones to listen to this week! I tuned into Turning Tumbleweeds and […]

Radio Show Listen On Thursday night, I got to listen to turning tumbleweed’s radio show. I think they did a great job, especially considering that there were so many people in their group. It could’ve easily fallen apart with that many parts being put together, but it sounded like it went so smoothly. It was […]
