Student Work Spotlight: Process Makes Perfect (Infographics)
I just finished grading my students' first class project, and I couldn’t be prouder of their work! Digital Literacy is a course made up mostly of freshmen, many of whom have little to no experience working on Macs, let alone with Adobe Creative Cloud. This project serves as an introduction to research, brainstorming, and idea development, guiding students through the creative process and culminating in a five-step infographic. I think these turned out great, and I’m excited to see how they grow and develop over the semester! 📌 Project Details: University: Jacksonville State University Course: Digital Literacy for Artists & [...]
Grad School, Spring 2019
UPDATE: I'm planning to do a major redesign of my blog this summer so I haven't been posting as much here. I'm slowly moving my grad journal entries over to my personal blog at carolandkarl.com so that this site can eventually be a nice clean portfolio site with a blog featuring my work and learning resources (at least that's my current plan). Right now this is very much a catch all journal and it just feels kind of messy. Anyways, last semester ended well. I created a lot of nice work that I really should upload soon but this semester [...]
1 Second Everyday, Fall 2018
1 Second Everyday (sometimes 2) recorded from August 27th to November 29th. This was the first assignment in my Video for Photographers class. I've done 1 Second a Day projects before and always enjoy them. This is the longest 1 Second Everyday project I've completed and it's a great reminder of everything I managed to cram into the Fall semester in 2018. Assignment: Use the 1 Second Everyday app to record a moment from each day during the semester. Class: Video for Photographers Instructor: Doug Clark Tools: iPhone, 1 Second Everyday (app)

Jem and the Holograms Makeup Tutorial
Another How to Cosplay instructional video! This one is a Jem and the Holograms makeup tutorial. I had a lot of fun making this video. I'm a huge fan of '80s cartoons and Jem is one of my favorites. This shoot was a little more complex than my previous one. I used three cameras for this shoot, two for my main setup, and one for shooting b-roll. I used the Voice Recorder Pro app on my iPhone to record audio. Shout out to my husband Karl for helping me start and stop cameras during filming. He's the best! Assignment: Create [...]
How to Cosplay: How to Put on a Wig
Bringing it all together! This instructional video was a lot of fun to make, but also super tedious since I was filming myself with a little help from my husband Karl who helped stop and start the cameras. I used a two-camera setup to record the footage and used the Voice Recorder Pro app on my iPhone to record the audio. It was a challenge to sync everything up in Premiere Pro but I figured it out. Overall I'm really happy with how this video came out minus one or two audio issues. I definitely have a newfound respect for [...]
