A Portfolio of my Creative Passions and University Work

This occurs outside the bounds of governmental restrictions or journalistic guidelines, therefore being non-for-profit with an aim to bring awareness (H.T. 2016). Citizen journalism has grown as technological advances have given the general public …

‘The Drawing Lab’ is a project and passion from my previous university semester which I will be continuing into BCM114. Last semester I started experimenting with time lapse videos on sheet music, which my audience enjoyed and found relaxing and therapeutic to watch. Feedback from my audience on my time-lapse last semester, leading me to …
One form of popular culture that I have recently begun consuming is the ‘high fantasy’ action series Game of Thrones. About halfway through the series, I find it an interesting battle of kingdoms, complex family trees, and the addition of magical elements such as dragons and witches thrown into this imaginary medieval world. The Ringer …
Another semester of University, another Digital Artefact. Creating 'The Drawing Lab' as my university University Digital Artefact last semester was fun as I was able to re-explore my love of drawing, especially creating mandalas and pattern drawings. I created an Instagram account, linked Facebook account, TikTok and Etsy for my artworks, experimenting what platforms worked …
This project was both fun and challenging, as we explored typography and design in our booklet creations. I’ve learned a lot in this project not only about design and layout, but the technical features of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign software. Before this task, I had little knowledge of this software with some basic photo editing …

Regulation of discriminatory and racist content online is challenging, as the “increased use of internet … mean that comments classified as ‘racist’, typically between one person and another, can now be sent to thousands of people within seconds” (Racism No Way, n.d.). ‘Aboriginal Memes’, a 2012 Facebook meme sharing page reported by many as unhumorous …

https://youtu.be/ocKvp-dO2pU Tonights drawing video is a fav song of mine, or a past favourite song. Tried to keep it more simple both for my own sanity of drawing for hours and to feature the sheet music more and not covering it up fully. ELO aka Electric Light Orchestra is one of my favourite bands, so …
China's social credit system is a prime example of surveillance and control by a government and nation, where individuals are assessed on behaviour, good deeds, and trustworthiness. This reminded me of a story I read as a child called ‘You are Special’, by Max Lucado, which illustrates how citizens in the book were awarded stickers …

I've always used iPhones and Apple products, and find them to be nicely designed and easy to use. Once or twice I've thought about the possibility of testings out an Android phone, but this... ... has led me to continue to stick with the Apple products I know and love. Why is it that Apple …
