My project will be looking at songs that are considered LGBTQ “anthems,” either unofficially because they resonate among LGBTQ listeners, or officially because they directly speak to LGBTQ issues. While the project won’t be just an anthology of songs, it will probably (more or less) take on this format. The first “piece” of the project…
For this project I’m basically making myself a meme. I going to recreate my “greatest hits” via video form however the video will stop and provide options when a decision is going to be made on what to say or do to give the audience a chance to guess what happens next. kind of like…
For this project, I plan to continue what I started in the Remix project by creating three new media projects based on “Annabel Lee”. I want to create an image, either a drawing or using Photoshop/Illustrator, of the landscape/setting of the poem (The Kingdom by the Sea). I will also create an animation of part…
The idea for my project is to tell a story through a few forms of media. The basic synopsis would be (this is highly specific) that there’s a discovery of an 11th century castle and research done on the stuff found there. You would find this story through (fictional) Wikipedia pages, interviews, reviews of the…
The base text will be a short story of mine that uses the frame of a present scene and, in between, explores the character’s backstory to inform the present moment. However, as a form, the short story limits me in how far I can go into the character’s backstory before readers get bored or give…

It also might include anyone who lives in a rural…
I am going to make basically a conspiracy theory. For a while now I have been looking to make a science fiction piece about the first robotic president that references heavily the important changes that have happened in the world. I then want to make a series of posts around the internet that lead a…
For my transmedia project, I would like to create a series of three songs, videos that correspond to those songs, and a written short-story to go along with them. The songs/videos will tell a story that is deep and compelling, and the three will be very connected. (But possibly with different characters? See: The Lumineers’s…
I think it’s safe to say that I have truly never thought about transmedia storytelling before in my life, and definitely have not looked at it as a technique that can be used as a form of marketing and tool for prolonged fandom. In the Origami Unicorn, Jenkins writes, “any given product is a point…
For my remix, I decided to add images to go along with William Wordsworth. I thought that the best way to do this that would make it easier for this to be spreadable was to post the images to an Instagram account. All of the photos used either fit a description he used in his…
