The theme (or main premise) of the group project was a video that went along a rap song that we created. My part was to act in the videos that went along with the rapping that went along in the background of the scenes (because I did not really want to rap at all). It did not work, because the hardest part was making the beat go along with the rapping, but the easiest part was recording the video to go along with the rapping (which I took part in - as in the recording).
Who is in your group?
My group members were Bailey Hosea and Steven Nguyen (also featured Devon Babjac).

What is your project about?
Our project was a senior farewell project where we tried to rap along to an instrumental (although I did not partake in the rapping because - well - it ended up unsuccessful for the most part, and I did not fully support creating a rap song in the first place). We recorded LIVE film of us doing things that matched exactly what we were rapping about.

What are you contributing?
Along with Bailey, I contributed and acted in most, if 
not, a lot of the footage that we recorded LIVE of us doing things (along with Bailey) that went right along with things we were rapping about.

Post photo of your booth. What elements did you have at your booth?

Summarize your Capstone presentation. How was your overall experience?  What was the hardest part? What was the most fun? Other thoughts?



I had a small version and big version (underneath the table) of my infographic on a music department stand (that I 'stole' from a room in Fannin), my website in the center (that also has my video), a construction hardhat on my left (in the picture), and to the right of the laptop, brochures. I also had candy on top of my folder which had both the budget and essay (just for back-up).

The capstone judge, in particular, kept talking and asking questions for about sixteen minutes (I don't know why, but my friend who's booth was to the right of me timed it on his phone). I mean, I started to speak and talk about what I had on my booth in the middle of the whole senior capstone fair. Overall, it was fun. I mean, the hardest part about it was the few weird questions I was asked. Before and after the judging of my booth, I walked around to other booths, and it was pretty fun.

Identify props and other assets needed for the Capstone Presentation.

You will have the infographic poster, website, PSA and… What other props or visuals have you decided on?  Are you going to do a backdrop or trifold, handout, mini-handout, Smart Phone App, 3D model on your website and/or a physical model?

What other visual aids can be incorporated into your space to enhance your presentation and make you stand out from all the other presenters? What can catch people’s attention so they will want to stop and see what you are talking about?

I mean, if possible, I may incorporate three-panel display board right next to the infographic poster (one on each side of the table). Along with that, I'll also put candy on the table, and five to six color brochures (or black and white) mini-handout. Because my capstone is an awareness campaign, I've got to present a lot of information on different types of media (I wish I could do an app, but my procrastination has gotten the best of me - and plus, I do not have a legitimate phone with me right now anyways). I will try to make the awareness campaign diagrams and brochures as colorful as possible to draw in people's attention to the capstone presentation (on Wednesday for me).

How your Infographic Poster relates to your Capstone Project. Did you have to do more research to complete your poster? What was the easiest and hardest thing about creating the infographic? Did you create your infographic in the Winter Term or this semester? If in Winter Term, what additions or changes did you make? Is your poster done or do you still have some tweaking to finish?

My capstone technically breaks down different aspects of how buildings and transportation (that people need to use to get from one destination to another---a building, most of the time) and points out specific, possibly overwhelming statistics. I had to do a lot more research to complete my poster, because my January term infographic did not have any. The hardest would probably been finding legitimate statistics about certain aspects of the green movement (in relation to architecture). I have a few more things to tweak before it becomes a finished product (I plan on updating the temperature in Dallas stat every single day until as late as can be before presentation day in April).
