Digital Media- Video

This video was created for MEJO 121- Intro to Digital Storytelling class. I was inspired by my father, Gary Colen and his experience living in very different locations throughout his life. In this short video, Gary Colen discusses what it was like to live in a city, a suburban neighborhood, and the transition to a farm. Using a tripod, microphone, Premiere Pro, and other technological tools I was able to understand and create a exciting project and gain new skills.

Custom HTML

Above is my custom coded and built HTML site built for my MEJO 121 class. I built for a project about my brothers, and different living locations. I learned more about coding, style choices, and building a website.

For my COMM 150- Intro to New Media class, I built and coded a personal HTML website about fashion trends in 2023. I used CSS to style the webpage. This taught me how to code, create a style page through CSS, and do research. In addition, connected on the website is another project/game I built for the final.

A video game I built on Twine for COMM 150 Final project. Using Twine, I was able to learn a lot about coding, strategy, CSS, and design. The concept is a “build your own adventure” game based on aliens and time traveling. This project combined photoshop, magazine/image archives, Twine, coding, CSS and more to create a fun and interactive game.
