Awesome. What else can I say? Every project presented was simply awesome. I say this because everything was fresh, outside our realm of knowledge, and enjoyable to watch/listen. And to top it off, everything related to the all-important theme of visual rhetoric. Each of us told a story through our images, and to me, we each effectively conveyed a message or story with the use or little or no words.
A few projects that are still lingering in my mind...
Julie's Story of a Writer, which should earn her an A in the class by itself. It was professionally executed, and resembled the example videos we watched prior to completing our assignments.
Sara's video montage of the 9/11 Teardrop Monument was a respectable, emotional timeline of the construction and appearance of an incredibly unknown tribute to those who died in the 9/11 attacks. The mix of music and images caught my eyes and ears and hooked me from the very beginning.
Though Matthew didn't believe his Meaning Making photos had the flash of some other projects, his theme of random things not often noticed or seen around Philadelphia was different from others, and some of the images were strange or odd enough to capture the essence of things we often miss everyday in our busy lives.

I agree - there were aspects of each project that really stuck with me!
I thought it was really interesting how the projects showcased everyone's personalities.
I think the projects could not have been more different thanks to such an open-ended assignment. I think we got to see a lot more personality this way!
