ATV:
Spend almost three hours tonight working on the site: added effects, played with fonts to look more youthful, fixed glitches. I think the homepage looks really cool. The fonts and effects as well as the contrast of bright color against a dark background are enticing.
The website is mostly a skeleton of the site right now. We need to add the videos and articles to their specific pages as well as create a more detailed "about us" page.

progress journal three
Because our group only met once outside of class this week, the bulk of decisions made have been individual. Chris and John have planned to do recorded interviews for our videos next Monday, Jessica is searching for articles and quotes, and I spent about twenty minutes last night on our host website searching for the perfect template.
Our group is geared toward young adults and youth. So, we want our website to be a balanced mixture of creative and enticing for high school and college students, but also professional looking. I found a few potentials, and once I show them to the rest of the group, we can make a decision.
This weekend, I plan to start working on the images for the site using photoshop to develop a logo and banner.

progress journal 2
Elizabeth Palmer
Project purpose, audience, etc:
To inform young adults and youth of America of their "freedom of speech," how it is often censored and restricted, and how the voice of American youth needs to be heard.
November 18
30 min meeting
created group proposal:
Group Proposal
Jessica Logsdon, John Radomski, Elizabeth Palmer, Chris Aveline
Directed audience: Youth and young adults of America
Modes of communication: Website which will include video footage of personal on-the-street interviews, photography, articles relating to the association’s mission, and famous quotes.
This media is easily accessible for the youth and provides different types of communication to better understand the ATV mission and how it affects them.
Ethos: ATV persuasively attempts to establish its existence, purpose, and usefulness through website and mission statement.
Logos: Articles and interviews provide proof of restricted and censored freedom, including specific events and quotes.
Pathos: Appeals to emotion are made by using strong, vivid photography as well as passionate interviews from American citizens.
How work will be split up:
John and Chris will create interviews, record, and edit the film.
Jessica will collect quotes and articles which support our mission.
Elizabeth will create the basic website and collect photography.
As a group we will put together the final website and create our association’s mission statement/“about us” page, as well as including specific examples to include on the home page (i.e. Lewis Black’s stand up and restrictions involving President Bush).
For next progress journal, build more on website, find sources for photography.

basically....
I'm stuck on my paper, so I'm taking a break. (That, and I'm experiencing a bad headache and may take a power nap). NaNoWriMo started yesterday, and though my initial goal is to accomplish the 50,000 novel by the end of the month, more importantly, I just want to make myself write everyday.
Sometimes, I'm stuck completely. I can stare at a blank page longer than I should. Lately, I've taken to finding inspiration in images--particularly images from FFFFound.com.
These are some I've saved recently:
