Using a Website to Promote Myself

  This website will be used to promote photography services provided by Lauren Krug Photos. The website will use key elements in order to promote the company and show what it does, including the biography and the portfolio. The home page of the website will be used in order to tell the audience who I am as a person and photographer, and give insight into what I do. The portfolio will be used to show the work I have done over the years, whether it be drawings, artwork, photographs, or writing pieces. It will show the diversity of the work in order to help show who the photographer is. In order to draw in the audience a very bold image from Niagara Falls was chosen for the header. Also, more neutral colors were chosen, as the company focuses on pictures that were taken in nature.  The social media projects tie into this project for many reasons. The main reason is that in order to gain clients, you should have a social media presence. Also, the WikiHow project helped with learni...

COVID Times: Reflection

This video project would be difficult for someone who has never worked with this sort of medium before. Telling a story about someone in a brief clip can be difficult, especially when it comes to deciding what to show in it and what music should be used. Choosing how to represent a person via objects was a bit of a struggle as well, especially while in a pandemic. However, as a whole, this portion was not too difficult to complete.  There were a few issues involved in filming, editing, and uploading the video, but they were not very large problems. Filming is not something that I typically do, especially being in front of the camera. This was a very new and challenging experience. Having only used iMovie once for a project during high school it was a bit of a struggle. However, after messing around with it for a bit it was fairly easy to use. There were a few minor mishaps throughout the editing process, but they were easy problems to fix. Additionally, after completing the video, ...

Twitter: Changing the Way Information Is Provided

Twitter is a social media platform that has been used primarily for “being social.” However, Twitter can be used for so much more besides just posting updates about someone’s life. It can be used for political purposes, updating news instantaneously, bringing awareness to a specific topic, and to market products. Twitter has a wide variety of purposes, more than other social media platforms. Twitter is a useful tool for journalists, politicians, and organizations in that it can be used to get information out quickly. It can be used to provide a brief piece of information immediately to the audience. The key here is that it is immediate or instantaneous. In other words, Twitter helps them update their audience (followers) with important information in under 280 characters. However, tweets can spread like wildfire; therefore, misinformation can be spread rapidly. For example, Twitter was used to provide information about the Boston Marathon attack that occurred in 2013. Twitter was used ...

WikiHow Project: The Experience

Image
Throughout the process of writing this WikiHow there was a lot of trial and error, and there was some struggling at times. It was a lot easier to miss a step while writing them down than originally anticipated. Also, there was a lot involved in the project as a whole. This included taking pictures of each step separately and baking the egg muffins twice in order to make sure everything was there. Then the photographs had to be uploaded to Adobe Photoshop, then they had to be edited and made web ready. Also, basic coding was used throughout the project. The coding was a bit of a struggle at times. The coding had to be exact in order for the output to be correct. Editing the pictures was not that difficult; however, some of the pictures had lost quality throughout the editing process or had glares in them. That was a bit irritating. Overall, the process of creating a WikiHow article was challenging, yet fun, and it is important to experiment with this platform of social media.  The ...
