Once Upon A Time...




Before I started the MCBS program, I was a college grad working three part time jobs with no days off. I had always thought that I wanted to be an author. But then I decided I needed to do something else to supplement my time when I wasn't writing. Because of that, I decided to go back to school once more. Because of that, I wanted to find a program that complimented my previous degree while giving me more challenges to improve my skills. And because of that I found myself leaning towards the academics at Full Sail University. Until finally I decided to enter the MCBS program and move myself from Washington to Florida. And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media, I've found myself being more inspired and even more creative than ever before.

I believe it's been a mix of everything I've learned so far that helped me to create projects this month that were more "pro-looking" than they otherwise would have been.  From past projects in previous courses to the curation of assets within this class, I was able to put everything together to find things that worked better, and use new media tools to get me there. I definitely appreciate all the links provided to us through the MCBS Symbaloo web mix. It made finding what I wanted and needed so much easier knowing that they were higher quality than I would have used. But I will go on to say that I don't necessarily believe anything I created in this class are ones that I want to keep. They definitely still need more work, but they help to show where I'm starting so that in the future I can look back on them and see where I've gone. So in that regard, I'll retain them in my back pocket. Having gone through the course I've developed a much...

Wk 2 Analysis: Brands & The Human Connection/ Curating 3

Image
Dove Beauty Sketches “You’re More Beautiful Than You Think”, was a video produced by Dove that took the internet by storm back in 2013. It was a very successful ad campaign because it was beautifully shot, had really emotional music, but it also touched on a very prominent and important message about women within society.  This video was meant to touch women of all ages. Although the women in the video were adult females possibly between the ages of 25-45, the message can still clearly resonate with teens and young adults too. Today women are habitually chopped down to small versions of who they are by others, which makes them think less of themselves altogether. Through this video, women were able to get a chance at really seeing themselves through the eyes of strangers, and not the mainstream media or society at large. Multiple women were sat down, and asked questions about their features, where the man asking the questions would then sketch what he was hearing. Then s...
