For so long in the semester, it was a purely conceptual project existing in our minds, and now the mural is proudly on the wall and the website looks professional and informative. Overall, my experience has been positive,… Continue reading Logan’s Project Reflection & Contract Defense:

At the time of writing this post, the only edits to add are minor appearance alterations and fixing citations. The citation fixing will occur tomorrow (4/13) at Mr. Bales’ citation clinic (which is tomorrow from 3:30-5! I highly recommend it!). Now for the more fun part of this update. We went to the dedication ceremony… Continue reading Project Update 4/12

At 10:07pm on April 6th, the Venus Jones group has achieved the unthinkable; a project that we are content with. After a semester of working diligently on this project, with the physical mural in place, with the website created and (almost) finalized, it feels odd and surreal to release this project into the world.

As of now, our group is in crunch time. Our mural text has been approved and the physical part of our project is no longer in our hands. Now we are placing the focus on our own individual responsibilities on the website. Jamie is taking the lead on the scrapbook portion, though we are debating… Continue reading Project Update 3/29: Crunch Time

I would love to get some thoughts from this,… Continue reading Digital Portfolio

Seth’s blog I feel was very relevant to us, as we all can benefit from the words “Google never forgets.” In a world that revolves around the Internet,… Continue reading Digital Identity (3/14)

Today my group (minus Kelly, sorry Kelly) had the opportunity to go down to Richmond and meet with the design team for the mural. We were able to give feedback and suggestions on the mural design, and I was pleasantly surprised with how openly they communicated with us, and how much they respected our ideas… Continue reading Project Update 3/8

To start off this post, I would like to state that we have already begun to discuss copyright with Professor Garmon.
