Website Creation

-
                  The creation of my website was made during class with the website "Wix.com"

  • First thing was to choose a template.  The template should reflect  my progression route, in this case I chose the journalist template.

  •  Afterwards, I started writing my "About Me" page in class and finished it in my self study time. In the "About Me" page I introduced myself and explained what am I doing at the moment and what are my plans for the future. I also wrote the reason for which I am interested in journalism. I have chosen to surround the text with a pink box that I might change later on when I start thinking more about the layout of the web. The font used is called "Futura" I will keep this font as I think it displays the words very clearly and it does not appear to strong but it has more of soft mark. 


  • I added a contact format with  multiple boxes to fill in the First name, Last name, email, phone and message. The boxes are a grayish color that resembles the color same as the color used to write the information about me. The submit button also matches the color of the box shown above. I think that both pages are too blank so I will probably have to add a background or something that grabs more attention.




  •  The Last thing I covered was home page, I have chosen a background from the images available on the background section. On the top you can see the menu of the pages in the website. Since the background is very colorful I decided to keep the menu simple and neutral with no bright colors. The answers to who I am and what I am doing are shown with my name and the words "Aspiring Journalist". This was part of the template so I decided to keep it.

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

-
Image
Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that

 I would like to introduce a new friend I just met, his name is Andrei and he is from Moscow. This is his second time enrolling in DMU since he studied English last year.
