Here is the last project for Digital.  The assignment was to create a narrative video or slide show.  Below is my project.  I actually couldn’t stop laughing the first time I watched it… a little gross, but hopefully it will make a few people giggle.  It’s bananastic!

Political Rundown (Project 1)

The poster project has been interesting… almost too interesting. I have had so many ideas that I have spent entirely too many hours starting a project and changing my mind. Ultimately, I could probably spend weeks working on a poster and continue to change my mind, but here’s what I have.

What’s in an Ad? (Assignment Four)
