Sandra Bullock at Sunday's Golden Globes

Here is the NY Times’ wonderfully simple yet creative and visually-appealing package of the gowns and tuxes worn at this year’s 67th annual Golden Globes Awards.

My favorite: Toni Collete’s classic, form-fitting Grecian goddess look

My least favorite: Sandra Bullock’s junior prom puffy drape of sparkles

You should probably get to the airport the day before your flight.

January 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment

CNN made this nifty interactive graphic to show you if the airport nearest you is jumping on the “Be more careful” bandwagon in keeping its passengers safe. Lucky (unlucky?) for me, Orlando International Airport is not on the map, so I still only need to leave my house an hour and a half before my plane boards.

A great refresher of this decade’s most newsworthy events. How do you say this decade, anyway? The “two thousands”? The oh-ohs?

an extremely powerful video story

December 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Intended Consequences is a video story I found on MediaStorm that is harsh on the eyes and painful to the mind. In 1994, over 800,000 women in Rwanda were raped and killed in a massive genocide. The pictures left me speechless and the titleslides are few-worded but impactful. Watch wearily, but everyone should know of these man-made disasters that are happening in other countries throughout our world.

Do the Tippy Toe: an audio slideshow on fashion and dance in LA

November 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is my favorite audio slideshow I’ve ever seen. It’s about some teenagers in Los Angeles who have their own style of dressing and dancing. It’s entertaining and intimate(without being emotional). I like how the creators, Simone S. Oliver and Stephanie Diani, used different speeds of showing the photos to create movement when needed. They also make good use of title slides and minimum captions at the bottom of their photos.

In 2007 Mike Forehand, a Theta Chi brother at UCF, died in a car accident. Exactly two years later on November 2, the fraternity commemorated him at their house, led by Nick Constain, one of Forehand’s close friends. The brothers lit candles and shared memories of their lost brother.

Voice your political opinion, then watch it float by on your screen

November 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The New York Times developed this multimedia interactive tool to describe how you feel – republican, democrat, or “neither” – after Barack Obama having been elected president one year ago. It’s kind of a mixture of a Tag Cloud and a poll. Love it.NY Times feature

What a professional audioslides project looks like

November 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The New York Times did an audioslides presentation on a play currently on Broadway. It’s interesting to watch after making one myself. While the audio is a little better than mine and a little more varied, I’m still proud of my creation!
