Week 6 EOC: Video Challenge Plan


I plan to do a mini biography for my video challenge. I want to display some of the work I already have done and incorporate sounds and music that represents me. I want to do a “City Girl”/modern theme. I want lounge type music or sound effects in the background. I want to display some of my skyline photography to go with “City Girl” theme. I want this video to advertise myself as a designer and just a web designer. I enjoy all aspects of art and I want to show that in this video. I want it to have club like/luxurious look and feel to it. I’m not sure if I want to include photos of myself but I want some type of slide show feel to it. I would also like to edit some of my photography in Photoshop to keep unity within the design of the whole video. I want people to like at this video and see nothing but “Ange” in it.

Week 6 BOC: There's an App for That!


In the U.S. an average of 200 million adults was diagnoses with an STD. Just about everyone now owns a smart phone. What if there was an app that could test you for a STD?  “In an effort to fight the growing occurrence–especially among children and teens--of sexually transmitted disease, U.K. developers are currently designing a cell phone application that could diagnose these illnesses remotely.” (http://www.afro.com/sections/news/afro_briefs/story.htm?storyid=3172) The app uses a chip that, when smeared with urine or saliva can be inserted into a cell phone or computer and can evaluate rather or not you have an STD. When many people losing their jobs and health benefits, I can kind of see where someone might have came up with this idea. This is really funny to me. Las Vegas' #1 cell phone app used.
