Jaydn Bernt Week 6 Blog

This week I had to complete a presentation on an interactive website that I thought was compelling. I researched a website that was published by the Washington Post and covered the story on Peurto Rico and the loss of power after hurricane Maria. Throughout the presentation, I had to point out the media used throughout the website and how it worked together to tell a compelling story. I also had to figure out what I would change about the website as a whole to improve it or that I think would benefit from it personally. After class as a group, we went to visit Macie’s Place and talk to one of the founders to get permission to do interviews and get video and photo content of the store. We’re planning on going to Macie’s Place next week to start getting video and photo of the toy drive for kids. Individually I am trying to figure out what website platform we should use to execute this interactive website that gives us the flexibility of using visuals and data visualizations. Seeing some of the interactive website presentations this week did give some inspiration on how we can put together our interactive website.
