I think our final project presentation went really well, definitely better than our practice. The biggest comments made were about video editing I think. We definitely could have edited our videos more, and I do think the idea of having an intro video would have been a good one, as well as the idea ofContinue reading “Final Blog – Vanderbeek”

This week, we had our practice project presentation, and it really helped give a better idea of what exactly needs to get done in the next week before our final presentation. Katie had a ton of notes for us afterward, and we’ll delegate out how things need to get done so they get done theContinue reading “Week 15 Blog – Vanderbeek”

This week, our project made a lot of progress! I got a lot of the design part of it done, now it’ll just be down to putting in the actual content. I was super satisfying to get that part of it done because now it feels like its almost ready for presentation! I split itContinue reading “Week 14 Blog – Vanderbeek”

I think mostly what our team is struggling with finishing is the written portion and the infographic portion of our project. I think it’s partly because we have a lot of other classes to take into account and a lot of other work to do and staying organized has definitely been hard. Mostly what needsContinue reading “Week 13 Blog”

This week, I started the website for our project. So far, it’s been less putting content in and more laying it out and figuring out how it should be laid out. It opens with an animated slide of all the photos we have so far. My plan is to use some of these later asContinue reading “Week 12 Blog – Vanderbeek”

This week has been a bit of a rough one. I am currently in Austin, Texas, away from home, so getting work done is a bit harder due to the fact that I don’t have as many resources as I would at home. That being said, I’ve tried to use today to take a thoroughContinue reading “Week 11 Blog – Vanderbeek”

The past week has been pretty hectic because of all the developments happening with coronavirus and classes being canceled. I’ve been trying to stay updated on everything that’s happening, but honestly, I’ve been receiving so many emails from professors and the university about steps going forward and I haven’t been able to keep track ofContinue reading “Week 10 Blog – Vanderbeek”

This week, I wasn’t able to physically make it into class because of an injury, but I was still able to contribute to our group’s project from home. Mackenzie and I each worked on half of the research paper needed for the preliminary content submission, and got it done smoothly and quickly! We communicated withContinue reading “Week 8 Blog – Vanderbeek”

This week I didn’t present an interactive analysis project, but I did notice a few similarities between the projects that were presented. Many of them were multiple pages that needed to be followed in order, with links that connected to the next step. This is a good idea for an interactive story because it helpsContinue reading “Week 7 Blog – Vanderbeek”

I did present for Interactive Analysis Presentations this week. I presented on a story in the New Yorker about how Heathers the movie began an era of darker teen movies that extended into the 2000s and 2010s. I liked how the story was structured because it was very clear to follow, especially with the headingsContinue reading “Week 6 Blog – Vanderbeek”
