Mini-documentary (FINAL PROJECT)
Wild West EagleFest 2013
Here is an infographic about EagleFest.
Winthrop University's DiGiorgio Student Union Programming Board, along with Student Life, held their 3rd Annual EagleFest Spring Celebration on Apr. 12.
After a long semester and an even longer year, the event was to be held from 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Campus Green, but the location was changed to the Lois Rhame West Center due to inclement weather the night before.
Prior to entering the building, the size of the crowd could be depicted by the sounds that seeped out as the doors opened and closed.
Once in the lobby, the only thing in sight were workers in costume as if they were at a saloon during the 1800s, cowboy hats and bandanas being given away and students trying to make their way to the free activities. There was even the sounds of bluegrass band.
It was evident that the theme of this year's EagleFest was wild west related.
Upon entering the gymnasium there were many different free activities people could participate in and receive a ticket. After winning five tickets they were redeemed for an EagleFest 2013 t-shirt.
"This is just what I needed before finals exams. A time to unwind and spend time with my little sister who seems to be enjoying herself," explained Justine Zipp.
Another student, Faith Cook, had the pleasure of riding the mechanical bull and expressed how much she enjoyed it in saying "I've never rode a mechanical bull and I would ride it again if I had another pink ticket."
The event was not only for students. It was open to faculty, staff, family members of students, and people in the surrounding Rock Hill area.

Below are some questions that'll get you thinking
Would you rather be:
here or there?
far or near?
loved or liked?
hated or forgotten?
stabbed or shot?
miserable and alive or dead?

The list can go on, but I pulled one that really got people thinking and asked ____ only.
But, which question did I ask to what group of people??
Actual blog post for this video to come :), just needed to get it posted!

First "video"
"Something New"
Thanks to my Mass Communication class, I am learning how to make videos and all kinds of cool things. Not to mention the professor is AWESOME!!
Oh yeah, my first "video" is not really a video, just some still shots with transitions and music.
Either way it goes, it's all a learning process!

Multimedia Storytelling Critiques
The first multimedia story I stumbled upon is the "Come on home to Green River." It goes is filled with pictures, natural sounds and what seems to be interviews of residents. This multimedia story is an addition to the story that can help you understand the multimedia story. It shows the struggle and gives outsiders the inside scoop on what is really going on and how some residents actually feel about it.
The second multimedia story I found is about a former fire lookout. It tells the story of him reminiscing about his job while showing pictures of what he actually did. The pictures and interview helps explain the story, so listening is key. This one is also an addition to an article.
Out of the two I've seen, I think they are good, have great pictures and audio, while also having substance and meaning behind them.

Event Infographic
Under one roof: Ronnie Jordan & KontraBand Muzik
Here is more information about the acts and the event.
Winthrop University’s DiGiorgio Student Union Programming
Board hosted a cultural event last Friday with comedian Ronnie Jordan and KontraBand
Muzik for listening pleasures.
After a long day of rain, ice and snow, the event was still
to be held at 8 p.m. at The Edge stage in the DiGiorgio Campus Center. Nothing was going to get in the way.
Upon arrival, the audience seemed to be slim, but after
getting a closer look, the only thing slim was the amount of seating left.
Ronnie Jordan had the crowd with tears in their eyes as they
laughed at his jokes and other comical actions.
“Due to the weather, I did not expect this many people to
come out for the show,” explained DSU member Justine Zipp, who explained how
funny Ronnie Jordan was.
Once Ronnie Jordan was done, KontraBand Muzik made their way
to the stage.
The crowd was entertained as they performed several songs
ranging from cover songs to their originals in a variety of genres.
KontraBand Muzik’s music even made Gumby do a little dance
which had the crowd in shock, unaware that Gumby had any moves.
Passion Bankhead’s reaction to the night was, “I am so happy
I decided to leave my room, despite the weather, because the Ronnie Jordan was
awesome and KontraBand Muzik made me want to dance!”
As the show concluded, the audience had the opportunity to
take pictures with the acts and purchase any merchandise they brought.

1/16/2013 Assignment
Medicine mix-up causes
7-year-old's death
The
death of a 7-year-old girl after being administered wrong painkiller is ruled
'accidental' by local police department.
Washington Elementary School student,
Tania Abondanzio, was admitted to Mercy Hospital last Friday morning for the
removal of her tonsils in a tonsillectomy and died Saturday morning.
After a thorough investigation, it was
determined that Tania's cause of death was being administered the wrong
medication by a pediatric nurse, said hospital officials.
The nurse gave the girl a half milligram
of hydromorphone, known as Dilaudid, instead of the morphine sulphate
prescribed by her physician.
Tania was given the drug at 2:30 p.m.
Friday afternoon and later developed severe respiratory problems at 2:40
p.m. She also complained of being hot
and went into what appeared to be a seizure, then was transferred to the
intensive care ward where she remained in a coma until Saturday morning and was pronounced brain dead.
She was taken off the respirators and
died minutes at 9:40 a.m. on Saturday morning.
The nurse who administered the drug
noticed what had happened while doing a routine narcotics inventory during the
shift changed and notified her supervisor immediately.
The hospital administrator, Dr. Irwin
Greenhouse, released this statement to the press, "Our sympathy goes out
to the family, and we will stay close to them to provide support."
The nurse's name has not been released,
but she has been suspended.

Infographic Critique
W-2 help for you
Is this actually helpful for those completing their W-2 Form? I think it could be beneficial, even though the form it's pretty straight-forward. Some people still may have a question or two as to what is really wanted in each box because no one wants to use the wrong numbers in the wrong boxes. This infographic makes filling the form out even easier. It categorizes the boxes and coordinates them using colors, while explaining each number and letter. Even if one were to print it out in black and white, they would still be able to understand each box due to the use of numbers and letters. This has to be one of the simplest, yet informing, infographics I have ever seen, but is it too simple?
Tablet adoption
What exactly is this infographic about? It has a lot going on, without having much. To understand this infographic I suggest checking out this website and going from there. To someone who has no idea about the tablet adoption in small to midsize businesses, these figures and words mean nothing, unless it encourages the reader to research the topic on their own. The color use is good, but the use of the percentages may discourage someone from reading it. The use of tablets to display information is great, especially since it is about the use of tablets.
ADHD Unleashed
What is ADHD? If you don't know, be sure to do your research. Now you know about ADHD, the types, and how one is affected by the disorder. The use of graphics and colors does not discourage one from reading it. The font may seem small to some and it may seem wordy, but it's not because it makes you want to read it. Using the pictures to play off the words is a good idea, it could actually be used to help young children learn about ADHD thanks to the colors, the lines aren't that long, and the pictures would grab their attention. Doesn't it just pull you in?
Be sure to let me know what you think about those infographics or if you find some good/bad ones.
Final Thoughts: My infographic may be done on stress, unless I think of another brilliant topic, such as FRUIT!!
