So this was a pretty challenging concept for me to grasp this week, as I found myself having very conflicting ideas about what I should and should not take pictures of and what falls into which design category. I think in the end it came out alright, and maybe it just boils down to my …

February 21, 2017

I found this literature to be incredibly interesting, although I will admit that some of its features and ideas were lost on me. Design is something that I have never been able to understand very well, so having to spend a week studying it should be difficult for me but hopefully rewarding. Of course the …

February 16, 2017

So I was thinking about this over the course of the week and I thought it would be awesome to do something along the lines of a dialogue based radio show. Not a talk show, but more of a reporting type of thing. The best example I can think of is the podcast Serial, which …

February 15, 2017

This was actually really amazing. I have never listened to or heard of this type of dedicated audio storytelling before without the use of pictures so I was pleasantly surprised to hear how great this was. I found it so fascinating how they used the sound effects to sort of show you what is going …
