Capstone Presentation Reflections

1) How did it go?
Capstone presentations went fairly well. I had all my information set up, my poster and my website made, and my lesson plan assembled so I was well prepared.

2) Was it what I expected?
Definitely not! My interviewer only spent 5 minutes on me, and didn't go through my lesson plan much. I feel like I put in waaay too much effort for the short period of time my interviewer spent on my project.

3) What, if anything, would I do differently?
I'd spend less time assembling my end product, because the judge barely looked at it. Instead I'd make a tri-fold board so that my project could speak for itself more.

"How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries" Reflections

I really liked the video that we watched in class, a TED talk by Adam Savage entitled "How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries." It was eye-opening to see how famous scientists made the discoveries that changed the world and made me think about how important it is to be curious and innovative. I loved the animation and graphics in the video as well, they really helped convey Savage's speech in a relatable way.

Website Navigation

My navigation bar on my website is going to be located on the top of the website. It will include the tabs: "Home", "Overview", "Symptoms", "Treatment", and "About the Project".
On my "Overview" page I'll include a brief overview about PPD and it's statistics.
On the "Symptoms" page, I will write about the common symptoms of postpartum depression and of the prevalence of these symptoms. 
On the "Treatment" page, I will write about the known treatment options of postpartum depression in depth, as well as link to other research done on postpartum depression. 
On my "About the Project" page, I will give insight into why I am making this website, why I chose the topic that I chose, and how to contact me, the author. 
If the visitor would like to return to the homepage, there will be a tab at the navigation bar on the top of the site entitled "Home" that they can click that will take them back to the homepage.

Blog Entry B

B. Blog Entry
a) Will your presentation use comedy and humor or is it serious? 
My presentation will be serious, as the focus is postpartum depression, but hopefully the look will be light and airy, because of the theme of healing.
b) What colors, fonts, design layouts, graphs, photographs and other imagery are 
appropriate for the topic? 
I plan on using a lot of sky blues, and pictures of sunrises symbolizing the fact that there is hope beyond the horizon. I also plan on using pictures of mothers who are hugging their babies, which correlates to my theme of postpartum depression.
c) How is your site, video and print material persuasive? 
My site will feature information about the various methods of treatment available to women suffering from this disease, so hopefully it will be persuasive as I intend on featuring a wide array of information.
e) How do you make your point of view understood? 
I plan on backing up my information with credible sources and statistics. Since my project is heavily science based, I believe that this is how my website will be most effective.
f) Are you intending to create: 
A clean cut lesson plan for neonatal professionals to deliver to new mothers about postpartum depression, and a cheerful and optimistic website that the mothers themselves will be able to access in order to receive information about the disease on their own.

PSA's Watched in Class

My favorite PSA that we watched in class was the one with the withered flower that came back to life for the heart and stroke association. I loved the symbolism in it, and it worked really well, using a dead flower that comes back to life in place of a stroke victim who has been given medicine that allowed him/her to regain lost mental skills. The music sped up as well as the flower was coming back to life. I appreciated the simplicity and the little details of this PSA.

Blog Post A:

For my capstone project, I intend on raising awareness in new mothers about postpartum depression, and relieving some of the stigma associated with postpartum depression. This is an important topic because the care that a new mother can get if she is suffering from postpartum depression can severely impact not only hers, but also her baby’s overall, long term health. This project aligns with my career goals because I intend on becoming a psychiatrist, so I’d like to deal with mental disorders. This project impacts society because it targets the health of new mothers, who are arguably the backbone of society, and the health of their children. My project also aligns with the goals of Richland College, “Teaching, Learning, Sustainable Community Building,” because healthy mothers lead to healthy children who contribute to sustainable communities, and can become the learners and teachers of tomorrow.

Capstone Idea

For my capstone project, I plan on raising awareness for postpartum depression by creating a lesson plan for doctors and neonatal professionals to deliver to new mothers. This lesson plan will contain information regarding the prevalence, timeline, and treatment options for postpartum depression. I hope to help lift the stigma associated with postpartum depression. In IMED class I will need to create a poster and design the overall layout and cover of the lesson plan.

I like this yearbook cover because of how creative it is. I really like yearbook covers that mimic commonly seen products but put a yearbook twist on it. It's fun and innovative and highly customizable. It also provides a solid backbone that you can edit to fit your theme. I think that for my cover, I'm going to do a vintage looking satire as well.

Vintage Yearbook Theme

I believe that vintage is anything that is from a distinctive, past time period, from the '90's and back.I think that the best time period for our yearbook cover would be the early 1960's because of the versatility. It incorporates the whole psychedelic hippie movement, the mod movement, and remnants of the distinctive aesthetics of the 1950's.
Here are some examples of things that I'd consider to fit the 1960's era of vintage:
