WELCOME
This website is to demonstrate the skills and knowledge I have gained and developed from my Communication and Media degree. The content I have uploaded explores different subjects I have undertaken in this degree and presents all my Digital Artefacts project developments and pitches. Feel more than welcome to browse and read my blogs to learn more about my perspective on trending media topics.
UOWCAFEAMIGOS
An example of a Digital Artefact project that has become successful with over a 100 members was the coffee club I started up at the University.
I am President of UOWCafeAmigos a coffee club on campus. As the president I am responsible for running my executive team and hosting events for students on campus. I am also responsible for running the social media and marketing aspects of the club which are key skills I have learned in the BCM.
If you haven’t already make sure to join and follow UOWCafeAmigos Instagram page.
In BCM subjects it is required that we use Twitter to voice our opinions and share our thought process and project developments to a public audience. The need to curate, ideate and remediate is something we need to be able to do when pitching ideas to our audiences.
Have a look at my YouTube Channel CreativeHypeStudios where I upload my pitches and prototypes for class. This will give you an insight into the criteria BCM students need to take into consideration when producing content for a public audience.
