Resume Refresh!

It's time for a resume refresh. Many of you are at the point when you will be sending out resumes - if you haven't already started.

Go to Blackboard for these instructions in an "assignment" under 2nd half section!

This assignment helps you leverage your previous work in personal branding, as well as you previous resume work. Follow these steps and submit your revised print/digital resume document here, as well as placing it on your website in the appropriate spots.

1. Review the attached document, "Resume Basics." Make notes of elements and features you wish to add, change or remove from yoru current resume document.
2. Log in and use the "Resume Builder" as described in the other attached document. (If you've already used Resume Builder before, go back through it to make adjustments and updates as your current situation requires.)
3. Refresh the visual rhetoric of your resume document so that your design most accurately reflects your brand and persona. You can use tools like Illustrator or Indesign, or try out the Resume Design feature in CANVA: https://www.canva.com/create/resumes/
4. POST your finished resume here by midnight, Wednesday, April 1.

There are two documents available in Blackboard to assist you: Resume Basics and Resume Builder-Start.  Use them!

 

Remix, Remake, Repurpose

Students will take their video production skills and dial them up to 11 in a Remix Project!


Students will read the article, "Remix: The Art and Craft of Endless Hybridization," and will post their reflections on such questions as:

1. What is "Remix," and how does it work in various media forms?
2. Why do people "remix," and what are positive (or negative) takeaways of the practice?
3. What remixes am I familiar with, and in what ways have I already been remixing?
4. In what ways is remix an "art?" or a "craft?" How can I incorporate remix into my development as an artist or into my craft as a communicator?

THEN, using materials available in the "purple-pink section" of the course website, students will then make their own remix in the form of Machinima, Mix-ups, Photoshop play, voice-overs, adding sub-titles, etc.

They will post their remix on their blog with a description of their choices and their techniques used in the production of the piece.
