Approaching this course, a little over three months ago, I anticipated to expand my skills in properly presenting and conveying messages/media digitally. Truthfully, I didn’t know what that would entail entirely, but I expected work in photography, video, and writing via online publications. Now, nine blog posts later, I have gained experience with a cameraContinue reading “Reflection: How’d I do?”
As the semester came to a close, I was presented with my final journalistic assignment: the Video storytelling project. Despite the limitations of current social distancing, I hoped to still produce something interesting and of quality. Especially, when considering the visual elements of the assignment. Jake Bathens, long-time bartender, and I work together. I oftenContinue reading “Video Storytelling: The Art of Tattoos”
I frequently use Instagram and Canva, but prior to this project it had not occurred to me to employ them together. Canva has great templates that I have used to elevate my presentations for my course work. I scrolled (what felt like for hours) trying to find a design that spoke to me and myContinue reading “Instagram Promotion”
Printing art can be overwhelming, but for an artist, gaining control of the printing process is absolutely necessary. Carlos Gonzales is a senior art student at the University of Wyoming, and has spent several years crafting quality prints in various formats and mediums for projects related to his education and personal uses.

I used a journalistic approach in live tweeting Eston Croft’s capstone presentation for the University of Wyoming’s psychology department. I chose this approach because the purpose of this event was to inform an audience. Therefore, to effectively relay this information I conveyed a journalistic tone to my Twitter followers. This project was difficult for meContinue reading “Live-Tweeting: Croft’s Psych Capstone Presentation”

I was surprised when he informed me of his profession, initially. I met the neuroscientist at a musicContinue reading “Audio Profile: Your Brain on DMT”
For student artist Em Whipple, any piece of work is more than its final product. For Whipple, layers of hard work, material, thought, and process all go into each part of creating a piece of artwork, let alone a series. The developing printmaker has now received awards and high praise for their most recent series;Continue reading “Em Whipple: Layering, Process, and Craft.”
I was walking to class and stumbled upon Phamunior, high above me in the air, reaching above her head. At first, shooting was a slightly uncomfortable and difficult. When I asked Phamunior if I could photograph her she was quite timid. In addition to that, my frame was being disrupted by groups of students thatContinue reading “Stepping Behind The Lens of a Photojournalist”
This week I put my skills with a camera to the test, specifically regarding creative devices in photography. Luckily this ‘test’ was take home and I could try over and over until I was satisfied with my outcome. Like most people I have experience with a camera, but I’ve spent little time actually crafting theContinue reading “Learning Photography (and Creative Devices)”
If you told me I would be doing this a month ago I would have told you you were insane. Therefore, I might need a couple posts to get better at this. So, here we go. Over the course of this semester I hope to gain more experience creating digital media content, blogging, branding myself,Continue reading “Practice Makes Perfect”
