8Bytes Game Cafe

For our video project, Josh and I decided to do a promotional film on the 8Bytes Game Cafe in Laramie. The assignment required us to video an event or a non-event story and create a short film using some kind of editing software. Between finals, projects and packing up to go home, Josh and I…

Lights. Camera. Action. Tweet.

Although Cowboy Football is winding to an end, there is no lack of UW sporting events to attend. After watching the bittersweet Mountain West Championship football game in our home stadium, I decided to throw some of my poke pride at other noteworthy teams on campus. I was finally able to make it to the…

Edited Audio: Dusty Iorg Slays Mighty Muley

Six greenhouses overlook the corner of 30th and Harney, providing sanctuary for a smattering  of plant species that seem to have found themselves far from home. Just outside, several rows of corn stand looking towards the sky. Twenty miles east, on the outskirts of West Laramie, barns and buildings sit atop the tough Wyoming soil,…

Usability Tests

For our usability test assignment, I analyzed the webpage “Deforestation in the Amazon”. I was initially drawn to the bold sentence floating across the middle of the page that read “The Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest”. The background was a small video clip of the Amazon, from a birds eye view. Right from the…

Snacking on News

Let’s just say that if news were food, I would still be living like the cheap, hungry college student that I already am. The scanty intake of news that I do consume could probably be compared to very unhealthy snacking, as it usually consists of clicking on a Facebook post with an interesting headline or…
