Which PSA video did you like best and why?

I liked the get off your cellphone video because it was humorous, it had complex and effective visual effects and the video's message itself was well portrayed and effective.

Capstone Project

Capstone Project Statement of intent.


  • The goals for my project are as follows.
           1. Address the problem regarding efficiency in modern aircraft.
           2. Educate people on carbon nano tubes and show them their potential
           3. Propose carbon nano tubes as a replacement to conventional materiel used for                            airplanes such as steel and carbon fiber.
  • My project is important and one should care because in this day and age, a lot of people use airplanes as a means of transportation and with the energy problems we are having today, if we don't find a way to minimize energy consumption by airplanes and maximize efficiency, we will be on our way to a brighter future.
  • These goals fit my career objective because i want to become an aeronautical engineer and by working on an issue that directly impacts ,y career filed, I believe that i'm fulfilling my career objective by gaining useful experience.
  • My project gives back to society because if airplanes and other forms of daily transportation kept consuming too much energy, we will eventually be in a bigger energy crisis that we are today. The primary energy i'm talking about is oil and most of us need oil to get on with our daily lives. If buckypaper is used to replace all the current composites used in constructing airplanes, cars and other forms of transportation, our society will be on its way to a brighter future.
  • The mission of Richland College is teaching, learning, community building, and my project will reflect just that. It will educate people on how carbon nano tubes can impact our future and bring people together.

Good Critique, bad Critique

- Good Critique

Ian-Everything fits right into place. You did a great job on giving the picture a vintage feeling ,and using ducks to relate to Richland.

-Bad Critique

Nohemi- I can't determine what vintage type it belongs to.

Why did you choose your original historic photo

The reason why I choose my historic photo was because it was a controversial moment in television history and it was not too old. I also choose this photo because it seemed like it was going to be a challenge to put myself in the picture and I enjoy challenges.

The challenges that I had were as follows.

  • I could not create a good mask around myself because of the background I was on.
  • Duplicating the background using the clone stomp tool was challenging
I was not as successful as I expected but it was still successful to some point.
I feel drawn to the 60s to 70s era because I like the muscle cars that were manufactured during that era.

You cannot use anything you don't make yourself

Is the statement You cannot use anything you don't make yourself true in terms of  downloading things like music, video's and images from the internet?

This is not a true statement because with proper permission, you can use things that you have not made yourself. Some things are made accessible to the public and can be used for free even though you have not made those things yourself. So to say that you cannot use anything you have not made yourself is not true but instead it is better to say that, You cannot use anything you don't make yourself if you do not have permission.

Post Capstone Topic and Innovation, Idea or Invention

MY Capstone topic is On Carbon Nano tubes and their efficiency especially in the Aerospace industry. My Idea for the final product is to make an Animation. In the animation, I plan on comparing and contrasting carbon nano tube applications in real life, with other common material. Finally I plan to obtain a nano tube material.
