All about three videos and my Capstone!

The first video that I watched while researching different PSA's was called, "PSA on Radiation Therapy." The video had people drawing while they were talking and it was very interesting to watch. The people in the video went into detail with the subject they were talking about, but it wasn't boring at all. It was captivating and kept me interested, so it gave me some ideas on how to keep people's attention in my video. The second video I watched was, "Are you ready to be a hero?" I liked the title of this one as well as the way it was filmed. Everyone that spoke in the video was standing against a solid wall with serious expressions. The seriousness in the video made my heart jump out to what they were talking about and caused my emotions to surface. The third video was simply called, "Yoga" and was interesting because it gave visual demonstrations. Everything was done in unison to the person who was talking in the video with the person giving demonstrations. This video was serious but to an extent because it also had a playful touch to it.

My Capstone project is over the side effects of Chemotherapy. Even though Chemotherapy fixes one problem, it causes another; side-effects. There are many different side-effects caused by chemotherapy and I want to try to find a way to minimize them and even prevent them if possible. My solution  is to create an experiment; take six people all going through the same treatment of chemotherapy and give three of them Pranayama treatments. Pranayama is a type of yoga breathing treatment that reduces stress. I will take the other three people and monitor their side effects without the treatments and then I will compare the two groups to see if it minimizes the side-effects or not.

RCHS Culture and Diversity

For the theme of my yearbook cover, I am planning on using the school mascot, the colors, etc. Although I'm not too fond of the colors, I feel that it is important to use them in honor of the school. It shows the schools pride and who we represent. It is because of the school that we are who we are today and I feel that it is a sort of reward to the school to use their colors. After all, we will be using these yearbooks later on in the future and we should be reminded of who the school was and what it represented.

I don't really have a design in mind for the yearbook yet, but I want to do something with flags to represent how diverse our school is. I also want to mix the flags with the school colors somehow to represent the school.

Yearbook Covers











I really like this yearbook cover because of its modern look. I like the color scheme as well as the way the words are slightly of centered and turned.

I really like this yearbook cover because the letter for the school is huge and very bright compared to the dark background that isn't as important. I like the little line of words used for the background, it's unique and very cool looking.



I like how the the yearbook cover background is the school jacket. This type of yearbook cover looks like it is from a school that is very proud of itself. So proud that it even makes the yearbook cover the same colors of the school with the emblem and everything. To me this shows that the school is prideful and I really like that.
