Multimedia Standards

In audio, multimedia on August 18, 2010 at 11:22 pm

Multimedia Standards was created in Spring 2009 by Rich Beckman’s visual journalism class at the University of Miami School of Communication to offer insights and advice from industry leaders on multimedia journalism techniques, conferences and awards, project critiques as well as an in-depth list of resources.

As a student in the class, I interviewed one of the practitioners in the field, gathering and editing audio as well as helping to plan, research and design the site.

City Concrete Gardens

In multimedia, video, web design on August 18, 2010 at 10:40 pm

City Concrete Gardens is a documentary web project that examines how community gardens stimulate economic development and improve public health in Miami-Dade County’s low-income and minority communities. It is the capstone project for my master’s degree in journalism from the University of Miami in Spring 2010.

I gathered and produced all the content—both written and filmed—as well as designed, planned and programmed the site. This website is culmination of three semesters of very, very long days spent studying multimedia journalism— everything from usability, navigation, design, production to audio and storytelling.

Role: producer/project manager, videographer, web designer, programmer and writer

Miami’s Silent Struggle

Miami has the distinction of being one of the poorest and richest cities in the United States. However, in between the rich and the poor are people who make too much money to qualify for food stamps but not enough money to fill their refrigerators. Miami’s Silent Struggle tells their stories and spreads awareness through videos, text and graphics.
