Project Information

10 Minute Documentary

As part of a class I was taking with Dr. Diane Shoos, I captured 11 images from www.goarmy.com, showed them to 9 people who work in visual studies, and created a 10 minute documentary showing what I found.

The documentary is a large file (~ 62 megs) and is a .mov, which can be opened in Quicktime.

Please note: the people I interviewed all had many interesting observations. This short documentary only contains some of these comments. I plan, with the permission of those I interviewed, to begin working on a full-length documentary.


Disciplining Design in/of the Composition Classroom

This is a project that Moe Folk and I worked on in Dr. Erin Smith's class. We looked at the MTU writing program through the lens of Foucault and Bourdieu, and presented our findings at CCCC's RNF. Here's the digital version.


A Pitch for Pitch

I created this video while studying at DMAC, a two week long summer course at The Ohio State University led by Drs. Cindy Selfe and Scott DeWitt. As you notice, the video is hosted on YouTube. I posted it as an example for my Revisions students.


Remediating Baby Sign

When I was learning baby sign to communicate with my daughter, I was also taking a New Media class led by Dr. Anne Wysocki. Here is my final project (also featured on the front page of this website).


Graphic Communications

Overhauled Dr. Art Young's website into a research data base for those interested in Communication Across the Curriculum and Poetry Across the Curriculum. After redesigning the entire website, I published more than 200 student poems on the website representing some 40 classes at Clemson University. Visit the site http://people.clemson.edu/~apyoung

Designed a logo and letterhead for Poetry Across the Curriculum. These letterheads are also published as posters and displayed by the 1941 Studio for Student Communication. Here are two poems on letterheads you can read: Interracial and Math the Deceiver. Here is a poster of the popular Fertilization Poem.


Community involvement

Served my adopted community as Chair for the Natural and Historic Resources Committee, Vision 2020, Toccoa-Stephens County Comprehensive Plan Update. The plan will help guide the community's leaders until 2014.

Continued my service as Secretary of Keep Toccoa-Stephens County Beautiful (2000-present). KTSCB is a very active non-profit organization committed to promoting earth friendly activity by sponsoring clean-ups, recycling campaigns, and educational activities.

Worked with Oliver Bauman-Cole, the Executive Director of Keep Toccoa-Stephens County Beautiful to organize and promote Earth Fest 2004, at Henderson Falls Park in  Toccoa , GA .
