7 in 7 Project# 2: U.S. History Made Easy
I got reminded the other day that American children do not know their U.S. history compared to the other children from a different country. To remedy this issue, I (developed a concept) designed a U.S. History app. It would have a scroll bar on the side where one can navigate through years and at the same time, little red stars would appear to show important events.
With the use of pinch and spread, one can simply zoom in or out of the map also move left to right to view the preferred information after pointing at a specific star.
This is made for students from K-12. Additional visuals would be added in the white information bar for better understanding. The information written should be brief, precise and to the point, so it’ll be easy to retain the information.

Well let's see... I graduated from NYU w/ a BA in French Language and International Politics. Because of the French, I became an account executive in the fashion industry. Being a corporate yuppie didn't really sit well with me after awhile. So I switched careers and retrained as a Graphic Designer/Art Director building up my print portfolio (I wanted to pay attention to my creative side).
Now in my 30s, I want to evolve into something more progressive along the lines of new media (i.e. interaction, web and motion). I've handled huge accounts, dealt with "captain of industry" types, and managed a staff. At this point, I want to focus on me and what I truly want to become professionally. I'm a lot more mature and honest with myself this time around. And I think I have more to offer artistically and intellectually than I had in the past.
