For my innovator project I decided to reconstruct my concept idea about finding who I am through the struggles of life to something that show up at the news and television a lot and I just have express what think about it. My concept is build a upon Donald Trump. It might give him more coverage but what I am sending to the world to see is not Donald Trump, but the people that are affected by him. The problems have cause and going to cause. I learn that it is tiring to research someone you really don’t like and find yourself emotionally exhausted with all the wrong morals and misunderstood topic like insulting the disable and saying statements like “Mexico is bring drugs, rape, and crime” to American. The videos and articles about him extracted energy from me and I became sick.
I was also tried of having to learn civics as well. It is because it is too much politics to contain in my head and for a person that doesn’t really pay attention to these elections and news about political correctness. But once you get over that stage of disliking the topic and focused researching the reason of why is he attracts people to vote for him and why others protest against him makes him a worthy enough person to research. Expressing my perspective about him not going to be a good president that America needs, that his views on how he thinks the way he do is lacking and wrong.
How my sources like articles and commentary about what he does and do is stronger than ever and more reliable to read and trusted that it is true. Than just a raid. The relationship between the research and the outcome of the innovator project is the use of Donald Trump as McGee a villain pervading Mei an immigrant for graduating from college in the animatic I am creating. As for the art aspect I collaborated with others by being there when they need any of my advice for their project. I worked with my friend Brandon Tse that goes by Atlas texting him to meet up and start developing the story of Mei and how McGee is going to try and stop her but failed. He also told me a new side on someone I dislike (trump). He is my main artist while Rocio Z my other friend helped me edit the his work.
Only on parts that are not clearly express. It is successful because he helped me organized my plans for the story, how each character has a role, and giving the message of hard working immigrants. We develop the story by making a draft of all the characters I want to be involved in the story and their information of how is important they are to tell the story. I ended up with one character and storyline so it wouldn’t be too confusing. Mei is the main focused character. Illustrating the obstacles she have to pass by working hard. Giving the audience a narrative arch. One thing that is unsuccessful is the quality of his drawings starts to loosen up it’s details become featureless. So what did is I asked Rocio Z my other friend to revise and tighten the areas to be more detailed have the same quality all thought out the story.
But if I could have done the project all over again I would start with no missing assignments from Design nor Web I would start on the research paper and focused on finishing it on the month it is due. And started developing the story of Mei much earlier so Atlas have more time to continue his quality work because if I given him more time to draw Mei’s visual storyline for the animatic would be even greater and expressed. The 21st Century Skills I improve upon the most is Creativity because it is something I know I have and possess. Examples that I improve this skills in the worked I have done in my 2 year here in Freestyle.
If you compared my junior from last year and my senior work from this year I think you would see a change of style and topics that I don’t typically do. Plus the senior projects I created are finished. It is because the way I think now and created my projects like the project information page have changed drastically from last year to this year. The least on the other hand is Self Direction I really need to learn how to finish assignments on time and correctly because being able to master that skill it would be the most improve skill I would ever have. The learning experience I learn with this project is collaboration because as a Web Student we don’t really have to collaborate on projects because the class itself is build for independent work. But collaborating and working with someone that thinks differently than you allows you to expand your understanding about a topic being learned. While still agreeing to key points and finishing the work that needs to be done.
I innovated my learning this semester by understanding that it is okay to research someone you might not agree with and find out anything more about why other people do. Have both of the pros and cons of the topic (Trump) Like how is he winning the polls and the votes if the way he thinks and his experience in running a nation is solemently different than running a business. Donald Trump is a good leader that attracts people to follow and support him but he is someone that pulls the separation about race and gender even farer that already is. He creates these bad morals, sins, and examples to the followers following his lead.
And extending upon more of my ideas about how hard work gets paid off even though someone’s challenging you from reaching your goals. Though the use of collaboration. In the end I I value this project a lot because being able to writing something that you just need to get out of your system while still having structive raid is something you don’t have a freedom to do in most English classes. But overall I really like how this project it's turning to be one of the greatest legacy we seniors can leave behind. Thank you.
