Yearbook Ideas

A lot of the students in RCHS have high goals, that's something I will never forget. Richland is just like grown up high school, RCHS is just high school at a college. I'd like to make a cover that deals with culture because that's the theme of the yearbook. It makes sense though sense Richland seems to be made up of people all over the world. I'd like to make a cover that ties together where everyone is from and put it into some word that represents RCHS.

Yearbook Covers

I like this yearbook cover because it incorporates its students in it and also uses clever things like the year as the amount of storage on the device.

The thing I like about this cover is how the words/year stack together to form a nice design. It's visually pleasing.

This one is by far my favorite. It looks awesome and also represents the students and staff. I also like how it takes up both covers and not just one. Honestly, this is one of the coolest covers I've ever seen.

Where Good Ideas Come From

Steven Johnson's thought on good ideas was pretty accurate in my opinion, especially when it comes to the concept of ideas forming over time. I agree that ideas can't just become a reality over night; there's more to it than that. I think good ideas come from the proper mindset. I think some people are better at making up ideas than others. Ideas also come form creativity, some of us have a lot of this and some don't. We're all human though, we'll have an idea eventually.

IMED FINAL

Team Members: Melissa Ramirez, Gabriela Santillan, Ciara West

Video:https://vimeo.com/113921550

Video: Our video is a mockumentary of any kind of national geographic kind of show. I filmed, edited, and did a voice over. Next time I would try to get someone more confident to speak. The easiest part was filming. The hardest part was probably the voice over because I get really embarrassed about the sort of stuff. I liked this project, but I wish we had more time.

How To: Marble Nails

Video by: Melissa Ramirez & Ciara West

Video Link: https://vimeo.com/112291384

Our video is a How To/DIY on how to create a marble nail design. I edited the actual footage, the only thing I would do differently is maybe a little extra filming of the final product at different angles and also a better search for music.The easiest part was inserting transitions, but the hardest part was getting it to meet my standards. I really liked editing overall though, so this was a cool project.

Wesite Review

Having made a website before hand definitely made the second creation seem easier; however, I again had issues with the transferring of the actual files to Filezilla. My logo and actual images, really everything that made the website look okay, decided to vanish upon moving it to a different location. The hardest part is keeping everything in one place and also keeping things permanent. Overall it was kind of a frustrating process, but it's fine.

Video Review/Web Progress

Video:

1. The video's technology was definitely amazing to even imagine; however, I do not think I could comfortably function in a world like that. It seemed true human interaction was taken away from that world. In addition, the fact that sight had a possibility of temporarily crashing seemed way too scary to even test. That and the manipulation, also pretty frightening. There were some aspects I do wish existed, such as the introduction to the video. If gaming became that advanced I would definitely get on board with that, and the fridge/cooking idea seemed so fun. In the end, no I don't think I could live that way 100%, but there were a few things I definitely wouldn't mind.

2. With the way things are going, I'd say we have a pretty good chance of getting to that level of technology if we really tried to strive for it. I think, however, that only the extremely wealthy would be able to obtain such a tool.

Website Progress:

I don't exactly know how I would do on my own. I assumed this template was temporary. I think when I get around to making my own site, I will be a lot worse off.
