I am very glad we have completed our project. It was a lot of work and we really made a lot of revisions after our practice presentations that helped the overall website out a lot. I think our presentation went really well, and although there was some technical issues like spacing and alignment, I thinkContinue reading “Final Post”

After our practice presentation, I am feeling slightly worried about the state of our project, but I think we can make the necessary revisions. I think we have included enough content, but the content we have needs to be edited a little bit. Mainly Ben’s graph, Devins quiz, and the video examples I uploaded. WeContinue reading “Week 15 Blog”

This week I have really been focusing on the content for the website and adding in some elements that are not just plain text on the screen. It is difficult, but I made a video in after effects that should help the first page of the website. I think by the beginning of next weekContinue reading “Week 14 Blog”

Our practice presentations are next week. Our team has finished all of our research we are now finishing up some videos, graphics, and finding some more information for the website.

We will have to schedule meeting times to keep everyone on the same page and to keep the ball rolling. Considering our project is relying on the participationContinue reading “Week 10 Blog Post”

Through the presentations this week, I saw some good examples of what not to do. The website about nicotine and opioids was a good example of what can happen if you try to put too much information on one screen. With the complications with the coronavirus, I am worried we will need to rely onContinue reading “Week 9 Blog Post”

I think some things that are going well with our project is that we are getting an early start to collecting our media. We have already attended two OLLI classes, gathered photos and videos, and conducted two interviews. I think this is a great position for our group to be in at this point inContinue reading “Week 8 blog Katie Pearson”

This week, I presented my interactive analysis presentation. I learned that in order to create an effective storytelling project, we must utilize media other than words, and it needs to be displayed in a way that is easy for the user to navigate. I really was drawn to my website because of the way allContinue reading “Week 7 Blog Katie Pearson”
