For our Documentary unit, we were challenged to pick a topic that we were interested in and research it. We were to answer the question, “How do you creatively and truthfully portray a significant person, group, place, idea, or issue in the community?” We then gathered many sources including books, websites, and interviews to create a documentary about it in the form of a magazine article. We used Adobe InDesign to do so, which was tough to understand at first but overall a really interesting application. We also incorporated our previous skills, such as Adobe Illustrator to create graphic design elements. This was also a change to practice the rules and elements of design, including CRAP, color schemes, etc. Finally, we got to practice our photography skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unit was already a huge challenge, considering we were doing something bigger than most of us had ever done. It was originally meant to be a book, but due to Covid-19 it was reduced to a magazine. Regardless, I learned so much about the topic that is very important to me, and it helped me to understand people better. I really enjoyed this experience overall, although it was tough. I also hope that my article touches people and sparks at least a little bit of change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trisomy X: Xterminate the Stigma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose to do my documentary on Trisomy X, a genetic disorder that my sister has. My goal is to spread the message about genetic disorders, and really just people in general, that you really mustn’t judge before you know someone. There are people around you every day that deal with things you couldn’t imagine, so walk through life with an open mind and heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
