How do I sum up this semester in a blog post? Where do I even begin? I have discovered so much about my likes and dislikes surrounding the world of interactive media this fall. Sometimes, I get this panic that I have so much more to learn, but then look back and can’t believe we have done so much!
Goals for next semester:
– I’ve always loved crunching numbers and presenting data. My newfound interest (as cliche as it sounds) is definitely infographics. I really want to build up my portfolio with those in the spring.
– The motion typography assignment was my favorite by far. I spend so much time on that darn thing! I would blink and three hours would have passed. It felt like a moment. The bitter-sweet part of this assignment was that I could show it to non-iMedia students and they would think it was ‘pretty cool.’ Then I would want to shake them and say “Do you know I spent hours and hours and hours of my life on this!?!?” And it still really didn’t look “that” neat. Regardless, I am going to make another motion typography video in the spring for my portfolio. When you can find something that makes time pass in an instant, you have to know you’re zoning in on a passion.
– I have this really quiet voice whispering at me to look into video production and filming in the spring. It makes me nervous, because film is so competitive and I am very very far behind. I hope to develop my capstone project around short informational films. I really want to return from Costa Rica with a solid grasp on the 7Ds and Sony cameras, so I can hit the ground running in February.
It’s been a great semester and I am really looking forward to the Capstone class in the spring!
