The project I selected from my english seminar to remix for our studio class was my Humans of Education Project. This original text was trying to accomplish the struggles young students faced from remote learning education and with long term isolation from loved ones. Specifically focusing on mental health and motivation to learn. Although the pandemic has left a devastating mark on earth, there are valuable lessons and aspects that can be taken away from it. Such as adapting to critical circumstances, taking initiative, student teacher connection and the importance of communication in our society. I’m hoping to expand this by remixing it, relate it to my experiences on a personal level and apply this to not just high school students but college as well. This way it is applicable to a bigger audience and individuals can compare their experiences to mine. When designing my remix I chose the mode and genre of visual and collage. I believe visuals are more appealing than infographics because there aren't any words, only pictures with colors that are eye popping. You can design the color scheme to your liking for more effect. Photos I originally had in my draft are in black and white, showing the struggles of what problems the pandemic has caused. The more personal pictures I have are in color showing the light in the valuable aspects we can take away from COVID-19. There are words within each picture, which opens up the audience's emotions and imagination to their personal experiences and connections. A design choice I considered and included was a quote from my football coach Mr. Fabiano in high school, "No Matter What Circumstance The Time to Thrive is Always Now”. This always stuck with me because even when our season was shortened and playoffs were canceled he still encouraged us to continue to grow as football players and individuals. Since I wanted my remix to be more personal I thought including a quote that has so much meaning to me would be effective. On that note, I see my remix tapping into people's emotions and personal experiences about the pandemic. This allows them to acknowledge the devastating parts COVID-19 has created but also remembering the good like graduating, seeing loved ones after months, communication and socializing with our society. My remix will serve as a reminder for everyone to use this pandemic to grow as a person and only look forward towards the future. We have learned so much about what we can never take for granted and how we can persevere through any obstacle with the help of our community. Giving my personal experiences and perspective towards others shows we aren’t alone in recovery from everything we’ve experienced. The insight on education is so important, now we know how effective it is learning in a classroom setting, teacher-student relationships, and collaborating ideas with other students. I truly believe my remix will contribute this to each and every viewer.
