The last project for this semester was extremely open-ended...that can be daunting for me. However, I knew what type of project I wanted to create from the start: a gamified eLearning to be able to flex my creative muscles in course creation. I couldn't wait to dive right in to creating a simulated environment! The only problem was choosing a topic. I wracked my brain for a course topic that lent itself well to a gamified simulation and came up with: cooking! People learn how to cook from practice, but digital training on the topic usually lacks that feature, which made it the perfect subject of an eLearning. |

My project is complete! After a round of reviews and fighting with design tools, I have finished a pecha kucha-styled presentation about Archery! It didn't end up being quite what I started out designing, but I'm really happy with the result. Given the time restrictions, I had to drop the part about the history of archery, but for the purposes of the presentation I think that would have been filler anyway, so the formatting did end up leading me to a more concise presentation.
Next up on my projects list is a Pecha Kucha-style presentation around literally my favorite topic: Archery!
I have been challenged to tell a story in five photos, no explanation. Without further ado...
Today I watched two TedEx videos, Draw more, together and Why people believe they can't draw and how to prove they can, which talked about basic drawing skills and how everyone can communicate visually, whether or not they're an "artist." I've always considered myself a pretty artistic person, but I think what limits me sometimes is my tendency towards perfectionism. If I'm going to draw something, I want it to be good. I say all the time, I don't do things halfway. If I'm being creative these days, there is likely an audience attached to it and a certain level of "professionalism" that needs to accompany the creativity. So where does this drawing business fit in?
I set out on this blog post with the goal of reviewing an infographic for principles of CARP, which has been very fun, but my biggest challenge was choosing just one! I've been a big fan of infographics for some time now, and I have a ton saved on my various Pinterest boards. It's even a category of documents my team creates on our project request form! So, narrowing it down to just ONE infographic took me longer than I care to admit. Anyway, on to my review!
