RCL#5: Advocacy project


For my advocacy project I will be sticking with something I know, I will be advocating for action against careerism in politics. 

I deliberated for a while on a possible new topic but I kept coming back to this.  I think the reason was I had already put in so much time and though into picking a topic for my advocacy essay that this was and still is something I feel passionately about.  The medium I will be using for this project is still up in the air though but I have narrowed it down to two choices.

My first choice is to build a website, because this seems like a method that there can be a lot of user interaction.  My only trepidation is I have never built a website before.  I am hoping it is not too hard I will be investigating a few different web design website and fiddling around.  If I find creating a website to be out of my comfort zone I have a fall back plan.

The fall back plan is to go with a method I am well practiced in, iMovie.  Through high school and college I have used iMovie for numerous project there would be no learning curve for input images sound or even audio recording.  All I would have to do is plan out how I would present my topic.

Sometime a challenge is interesting though and can yield the best results.  This is why I am straying away from iMovie to begin with because it just seem plain and boring while a website holds a lot of potential upside if I can develop the site well.  After looking at some example advocacy projects there is defiantly a high standard of web design ability in past CAS classes I will have to uphold.  A learning experience is a good thing though.
