Senior Year Accountability

                 Senior Goals By Giovanni Roman

        Knowing this is my last year at Information Technology my mindset hasn't changed by the slightest in achieving my goals and being at my best. However this year there are new goals I want and need to accomplish. My first goal is maintaining my 4.0 average starting from the first marking period all the way to the end of the year. I'll achieve this goal by staying on top of my assignments by checking jupiter ed after school and during weekends. The I would also start studying more often for my exams, Participating in class frequently, getting my work done on time while being done good/correctly, sleeping early (around 9:00 pm- 9:30 pm) to stay more focused in class and have energy to go through the day. Another goal I have for this year is getting ready for college by starting my college essay, starting my applications early, update my resume, and attend college events such as going to a college campus or online meeting event. A third goal I have is making sure I can obtain financial aid by filling out any other surveys or forms I may need and staying in touch with Mr. Ladingnon for any college updates. My fourth goal is to make sure I pass my adobe certification by doing practice tests, updating my shortcuts spreadsheet, reviewing my shortcuts spreadsheet, and asking questions if I have any difficulty using a tool, finding a tool/edit/mode or navigating the adobe apps interface. My fifth goal is getting to interact with my mentor again outside of school by asking for a consent form from Ms.Martinez or any of the imentor members in this school, and filling out the consent form. My sixth and final goal is making sure I can get a scholarship by asking mr. ladignon what are the necessary steps to apply for one and what can I do to increase my probability in securing a scholarship. How I plan on "staying motivated" is by simply ignored the whole notion of "motivation", I will do what I need to get done because I know I have to get it done and I'm doing who can get it done. Having this disciplined mentality enables me to focus better and take responsibilities on my duties and tasks.

Data Visualization at the Designing Peace Exhibition

Data Visualization is the graphical representation of information and data that is used to convey a message to the reader(s).  The three primary visualizations of data are pie charts, bar graphs, and maps. The goal of Data Visualization is to make data simple and digestible for the audience to understand. The reader(s)/audience needs to understand the data being displayed in order for them to identify the trend and story of the information. The Cooper Hewit exhibition that caught my eye was the durable peace. Mainly because it has a monochrome map with a standout color that is supposed to outline something substantial. The point of the exhibition is to imply how design helps transitions from instability to peace. How can we establish a long term and transformative peace that benefits all divisions of society. I planned on using a map for my data visualization however with my own twist. It uses imagery of the Israel-Palestine area and pin pointing a specific location to indicate whe...

Social Justice Reflection

Image
    Creating the social justice spread has impacted me greatly, It was an arduous and fun process that allowed me to believe I am making an impact on the world. The issue of homelessness is overlooked and it is always seen on the surface. However no one looks deeper into the situation, what are the actual reasons why these people end up on the street? What can we do to actually and effectively support these people? Coincidentally I had just written a paper on this issue so I already had a decent amount of knowledge and sources to use for my spread. My rough draft had already laid out the fundamentals of my final draft. I had a difficult time choosing appropriate symbols that would work into the design of the spreads. The most universal symbols are pictograms, they're used everywhere and they are easy to understand and think about. I had drawn four  pictograms to use for my design, all of them depicting different aspects of homelessness. Deciding on how many colors to...
