Raising Awareness on Societal Issues


Kate's Project:
Kate's website focuses on how to spot cults and if cults are trying to recruit you or your family. Because of this, it has a targeted audience or a general audience as well and is made available to all people. Her images are not copy righted. She is still working on the look of the website and deleting some of the text because there is a lot. 

Nicole's Project: 

Nicole's brochure focuses on getting the word out or persuading readers of the brochure to donate money to help find a cure for ALS. The design of the brochure is coming along, but still not fully done. She is not found all the photos she wants to use because copyrighted photos are causing problems, but she does have one picture and it is attributed correctly and she could use it. She has never made a brochure before so she is still trying to figure out the whole format aspect. Other than that she has a good start on it. 

Tyler's Project:

Tyler is planning on doing a Pecha Kucha presentation. For now, he plans on introducing his theme and then showing the class the Pecha Kucha which will identify obesity as a problem in America. He said the greatest difficulty with this project is going to be finding photos he can use for the Pecha Kucha without interfering with Copy Right rules.

  1. Tyler- I like the focus on Childhood obesity. I think it's a really big problem. The age coverage is kind of large. what about kids in middle school specifically?
    Nicole-I like that you are including a story about your cousin since I think it will help us relate better to the topic. The brochure is also a good idea.

  2. Mary, Myriah and Nick:
    Tyler-Sounds good. And it will be interesting since you are targeting the children instead of parents like it normally is.
    Nichole-ALS is a very sad disease. it iwll be good to hear what you have to say about it since members of our group have friends/family that have been effected by it.

  5. Kate - Good topic. It seems you have your project almost done. Good job!

    Nicole - Brochure is a kind of interesting format for the project though I dont know what AlS stands for. For my opinion, some images may be vital for the brochure. So try to find some out.

    Tyler - Your topic catches most people's eyes. Logic sequence may be used to organize your project, maybe?
