AICE Media Studies AS- Helme, G

  I am able to take the majority if not all of the pictures on my own time, so I wouldn't say I have to schedule any photoshoots, but taking the pictures/making the projects is probably what I am going to complete first. I will be taking them all at whatever angle I feel is better for that specific picture. Most of them will probably be eye level. For all of my materials that I will need, they will most likely be at Michael's craft store, or Joann's fabrics. I will not be in any of the pictures. They will be either on the wall or on the floor. I will ask other people also for ideas or things that could make it better. As I stated in my first blog post, I am going to interview either a college student living in dorms, or a local interior designer, because I feel they are best to talk about my topic with. A college student would probably be better, considering most interior designers are very expensive and have an older style.

 The main subject of my article will be a college student or a local interior designer. I will talk to them about recommendations that they give for college students looking to add style to their dorm, or any young adult trying to figure out what they like. I know a few students that are attending college right now, because my sister is a junior in college, so she has friends that go away. My mom also has some friends in the interior design industry, and there are many furniture stores in the area, but that might not go with my topic as well because it is more of a young style that I'm focusing on. I will be making all the DIY's in my magazine, so I will be taking pictures of the finished product, and how they will look hanging up or pictures during the process to help explain. 

     The part that was the most challenging for me while working on the storyboard was the color scheme. I wanted it to be more of deep subtle colors, but it didn't really turn out that way. I also had trouble with the pictures. I am not very creative or good at drawing, so it was hard for me. I liked writing in the different fonts because it was different then how I usually write and I enjoyed it. While working on the project, I realized it was a lot harder then I thought to get everything together. I though it was going to be just quick sketches, but it took me 4 days.     Doing projects by yourself always takes a lot of time, but I think it is worth it in the end because you can make everything your own. Getting creative ideas on my own has always been hard for me. In, "Storyboard Your Way to Success" it says "if you seek a technique for generating solutions to complex problems, then storyboarding is by far your best option." This storyboard and brainstorming...
