Introduction

Hello! My name is Paige Newman and I am a second-year senior here at freestyle academy.

I would like to both thank and welcome you to my senior portfolio showcase website. Freestyle has been a long and rewarding journey for me and I hope that I can share some of my growth with this presentation.

 

Documentary

 

The Documentary project was a 2 month long project where we picked a local buisness, community project, or organization and wrote a paper about that organization and some critical issue that affected them and their community at large. We then designed books to present with our papers visually. For these books, we used AdobeInDesign to created 30 to 40 pages of text, photos, and graphics that showed off our design talents and our documentary subjects. We then created websites or films to present our documentaries through another platform.

Innovator


The innovator project was a self-directed experimental time for seniors. We were given about 2 months of free time to work with and told to design and implement a project that could allow us to explore something we were interested in. Projects ranged from trial musical compositions to studies of film styles to the development of video games and more.

My innovator project focused on poetry and developing my own voice. I wanted to work on the way I present my ideas creatively, and because poetry is (arguably) my favorite litereary form, I decided to try working on my poetic skills. I wrote and performed 3 spoken word poems to develop my rhthym, alliteration, and public speaking skills. I also designed a book in Adobe InDesign, which you can view below. This book holds all of the poems I wrote during the Innovator project, with a variety of topics under my central theme: what it means to be a part of my generation. I wanted to sort of explore the instability of youth and the unsteadiness I notice in myself and my peers as the next generation, or Generation Z.
