iMovie Coming Soon

My digital media class is currently working on our own imovies.  The movies are basically still pictures put into a slideshow with the director's voice going on over the slideshow. The stories have to be about something that impacted our lives. My story is about my little sisters. I chose to make my movie about them because they truly changed my life as if they're my own. They help mold me into he person I am today because they made me have a sense of responsibility; they made me realize that I am a role model and I need to set a good example. This project is very important to me because it's about my family. I also feel that this is something that I can keep for my mother and my sisters to show them when they get older. It's a keepsake.

Lyrical Triptych






This was my favorite assignment. The explanation was simple, pick a song and make three pages of images and lyrics that incorporate with the song and each other. I thought I was going to be easy and it was... except for the fact that I needed to pick a song that I could really use the lyrics from. I went through at least eight different songs before I got to "Roses" by Meg & Dia. This song always interested me.

Magazine Cover


This assignment was interesting. This was also the one that I had the hardest time completing within the deadline that the class was given. I took pictures for this cover that ended up discarded and I couldn't find a background for a while. In all honesty, I'm not exactly too happy with the out come of the cover but it's not bad.

Thank You Mrs. Weigand !!

I just want to take a little time out to thank Mrs. Weigand (my digital media teacher) for first off, being amazing and fantastic but for also introducing me to something new. I never imagined myself to be a blogger or to take ideas from my mind and create an amazing piece of work. My imagination expands with every assignment she gies me and that makes her great. I never been so excited to do work or to be in a class so much before as with this class. This is my senior year but I can really see myself creating projects like this in my everyday life. All I can do to show how happy I am with this class is bring home that A+ !

Notebook Cover




This was the first assignment in my Digital Media class. Finding my vision for my notebook cover was very difficult. I think it's because I had to create something that I would be looking at for the remainder of the school year. This assignment kind of made me nervous because I had never in my life used photoshop or a Mac Notebook so I was very unsure on how it would look in the end. I'm not 100% happy with how it looks but at the same time I feel like I accomplished something that I have never tried before.




I used things that somewhat inspired me. Celebrities like Jay-Z and Beyonce, they are a power couple in hip-hop and r&b. They are both hard working people who went through obstacles in their lives and they've been together for 9 years and are now married. Kid Cudi is someone I had never heard of until his album released and as fast as that I heard he was retiring and after hearing what his music had to say, I understand why he's saving his genius. I put Fabolous on my cover simple because I love him and his swagg is crazy on point, lol. I also added my favorite cities of inspiration; Houston, Texas and New York, New York.
