Photo Assignment
The purpose of this assignment was to tell a story only using photos. The story I told was about a music listening party that was held in Virginia Tech's Black Cultural Center [BCC]. The “story” starts off with a picture of a sign with “Arts” on it. That first picture was the foundation of the event but also the foundation of Virginia Tech because the arts is the introduction to other creative avenues. The pictures to follow show the event with a balance of a slow shutter speed and high ISO.
Video Assignment
The purpose of this assignment was to create a short fiction video that involved an aspect of the community. I decided to make the video on my former RA staff because as RAs we are taught to care for residents and build community with them. Among other responsibilities I wanted to highlight that staff because they have an intrical part in making the residence hall run.
Layout Assignment
The purpose of this assignment was to create a poster and postcard using Adobe InDesign. I chose to make a layout design for Virginia Tech’s Homecoming Board. Since the university is celebrating its sesquicentennial (150th) celebration I wanted to create an informational piece that highlighted one of the new additions to the Homecoming portfolio, The Homecoming Experience.
