ONU Department of Art and Design: Our Home

-



On March 20th, 2018, I created a video of the Ohio Northern University Department of Art and Design. At first, I struggled to think of a topic for my video. Somehow, I thought of my department, and I realized it would be perfect! I am truly passionate about the Department of Art and Design and by making a video for it, I could finally give the department some publicity.

In order to make the video, I took short clips of people, artwork and other details within the department. Also, believe it or not, all the footage was taken on my Galaxy S8. I could have made a video with images, but I felt video clips are more interesting. Artists and designers are visual people, so I wanted to gather clips to intrigue the visual senses of viewers.

When I started to edit the video, I was nervous because I have never used Adobe Premiere Pro before. Luckily, a google search and some tutorials helped me through!
Originally, I had planned to introduce the video with a short clip of myself. After I attempted to take this footage, I quickly changed my mind.  Then, I thought I would do a voiceover, but that idea failed as well. I then thought of what the department meant to me. To me, it feels like home. I then thought of the song “Home,” by Phillip Phillips. I knew the song has been overused in the past, but I knew it would work best for what I was trying to say.
I had a lot of fun editing the music and editing the video clips to fit the music. When it all came together, I was really happy with the final product
I am glad I had the opportunity to make this video. The Department of Art and Design does not get much attention and through this video, I feel I am proving to others why it should.

    This is just such a great video. It really shows all the great things in Wilson. It's almost hard to believe this video was shot in the art building. There's just so many gorgeous and interesting things to look at. I guess spending so much of our time there causes us to lose sight of all the wondrous things the building has to offer.

Preparing for the Interview

-

Recently, I had my first big interview experience. I have interviewed for jobs before, but those required little thought or preparation.   This position, on the other hand, required much more time and effort. I ran for the graphic design intern position at Thirty-One Gifts in Columbus, Ohio. I originally found the position online and applied. To my surprise, they set up a phone interview with me. Of course, I was nervous for the phone interview, but I was not too nervous. For a phone interview, you can wear what you want and stare at the ground as much as you want without the interviewer knowing! I did research on the company to prepare. I guess my joyful voice and charming personality won over the recruiter because they invited me to their headquarters for an on-site interview. The moment I was told they wanted to interview, my mind started rolling. I truly love the Thirty-One brand, so I wanted to make sure I did the best I possibly could. Therefore, I had to do some work.

Customization is Key

-
The first step to enter into the world of social media is to create a profile. Overall, it seems simple. You enter your first name, last name, email address, username and then you are done. Sure, creating a profile is easy, but creating a professional and successful profile takes work. What I recently learned from Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick in their book “The Art of Social Media” is that there are many details that can easily be overlooked when creating a profile. A lot of these details contribute to customization. Before, I never realized the importance of the customization of your social media profiles. I thought that once your name was on the page, it was good. Kawasaki and Fitzpatrick basically stress how customizing your profile is key to making yourself appear unique and competent and I agree. If every person on Facebook had no information or pictures on their profile, what would be the point? Who would want to view their profile with nothing to engage in? It is important t

Memories from my 4-year-old self

-
When I tell my brother and sister I can vividly remember living with my dad as a child, they never believe me. They tell me it is not possible for someone to have memories from such a young age. I must admit I think it is odd I am able to remember so far back, but I also find it interesting. Before you read further, I must warn you. Some of these memories may be emotional or uncomfortable. I am not sure why I wish to share these memories. I guess they are a part of me, and I only wish for others to know they exist.  Our home: I can still remember the layout of our trailer in Kentucky. It was on a country road surrounded by a forest. It had a stone driveway and a shabby wooden porch. When you walked in the front door, you entered the main section of the trailer with the kitchen on the left and the living room on the right. Past the living room was the master bedroom in the back right-hand corner. Past the kitchen was my room in the back left-hand corner. In my room, I had a
