One Last Semester...!

I can’t believe the whole summer has passed without an update to my blog! Scratch that…I can’t believe the entire has gone by, period. An update is definitely in order!

2010 Jock Rock

This past semester I've been working with a team through the student run public relations firm on campus, PR Central, to help promote the 2010 Jock Rock. We have been involved in every aspect of setting up the promotion of this event, including getting plugs on radio shows, advertisements on the campus television station, placement in the calendar of events that are featured in campus dining halls, and much more.

Photography from last semester

I've uploaded all of the photography from my projects last semester to Photobucket. I figured it would just be easier to have everything stored online instead of trying to keep all of my disks organized. If you get bored, feel free to check them out at my Photobucket account.

New Year, New Adventures!

Alright, it was a winter break full of non-stop, much needed work, but it's back to the educational world with the new semester. I am taking some of my pretty intense senior level courses right now and I have also been hired as a consultant for the student run firm here on campus PR Central. I will be working with a team of four and with our client Student-Athlete Advisory Committee to promote their annual spring event Jock Rock. I'm really excited for this chance to gain some hands-on experience, help out a program on campus, and to add some pieces to my portfolio. I will make sure to keep this blog updated about my work on the project and I will upload any pieces I worked on.

Chase Nelson - Fall 2009 Photojournalism Photo Story

These were the photos I turned in for my final assignment in Photojournalism. We were required to find a subject and create a photo story over a two month period, shooting no less than 250 images, but turn in only 5-7 of the photos that we thought best told the story. We had to turn in all of the images we shot so our professor could determine how much effort we put into the project, but the 5-7 photos is what we were graded on, along with the captions and copy block that we created.

Photography Assignment 4

I couldn't find the edited versions of these photos that I turned in to my professor, but these are the originals of the two photos I turned in for my fourth photography assignment.

Photographic Design Elements

I didn't write this article at all. The text and photos were provided to me and I had to knock out the background of the two girls in the lower right side of the page and place it within the text, along with the team photo, to create a visually appealing design. This was all done in class for a quiz. The only reason my name is on the byline is because that's how the professor asked us to turn it in for a grade. I had a lot of fun with this and I'm looking forward to working with these concepts some more for our next project.
