This week was one of my favorites! I love designing, and we did a lot of it. First, I created a newspaper page for Hated in the Nation and wrote a little about it if you’d like to learn more. We also got to design some propaganda, and I love the design I came up with and how I connected […]
“Will people really be surprised by this? You can’t trust anyone these days, what makes you think you can trust AI?” “The question isn’t who protects you, it’s how much you know.

Week 5 was pretty straightforward, watching videos and reading articles about filming and editing to present a story effectively. I found the Black Mirror episode “Hated in the Nation” really interesting […]
Now that we’re a third of the way through the class, I feel like I’ve made some real progress. I’ve had the chance to grow my creativity, and even though there were times I doubted my work, seeing my classmates vote for Finn’s Walk Home post gave me a confidence boost. It reminded me that we really are our own […]
