Storybook Favorites

This storybook project seems really interesting. I enjoyed reading the creative and engaging ideas that past students have come up with.

The storybook's title "1000 Ways to Die: Demon Edition" instantly stood out to me. I clicked on it and was laughing to myself about how the author of this storybook made it seem like it was really a script from the TV show "1000 Ways to Die." The author of this storybook made me want to continue to read and find out how these Indian Demons died or how they even killed others. This storybook opened my eyes to the possibility and creativeness that I could use on my own storybook. 

Another storybook that caught my attention while I was reading through the titles was "Yama's Hair Salon". I immediately was drawn to the way that the author was telling their story. The author did a really good job at balancing the different voices and opinions of the people/characters in her story. I think the introduction did a great job and describing what I would find the stories to come. I continued to read through all of the stories of "Yama's Hair Salon" because I thought it was interesting. 

My favorite storybook was "Image.PR: India's highest ranked PR Firm". In the email that I sent to Professor Gibbs with the link to my blog I told her about how I was excited for this course because I enjoy writing. She told me to check out this storybook because I am a PR student. I really enjoyed reading through this project because I thought it was an interesting idea to use for this project. 

After reading through quite a few project I found the three that I enjoyed the most out of the ones I read. When I read through "Image.PR: India's highest ranked PR Firm" I instantly thought of an idea that I could use for my own storybook. For my project I could use an event planning company to tell my stories through. 

I didn't know anything about the content that these stories were based on but I am ready to learn and start creating my own.

    I am glad you looked at such different styles, Chelsea! The idea is that you can experiment with all different kinds of styles in your weekly blog stories, and then for your project, you can do a Storybook with a style that brings the stories together (like in these three projects you looked at) OR you can do a Portfolio where you pick your favorite blog stories and put them together in a collection where you might end up with totally different styles for each story. Either approach can work, and it all depends on what you think will be the best learning experience for you; you'll find out more about that in the project brainstorming that happens in Weeks 2 and 3 coming up! :-)

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...

Reading Notes: The Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution, Part B

Hello all, In this post you will find my notes from The Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution an online film from YouTube. These notes are only comprised of the part B playlist . Kunti was given a special mantra from a sage, which would allow her to call upon any god that she wished. Kunti tried it out with the sun god to see if it worked and it did. Kunti was left with a child from the sun god. Kunti knew that the child was destined for greatness. She placed the child in a basket and put it in the river. Kunti's son with the sun god was a secret. No one knew about it not even her husband, the king. One day Pandu was hunting with his bow and accidentally shot and killed a couple. Before the man died he cursed Pandu and said that the second be would be come intimate with a woman something terrible would happen. This caused great pain for Pandu and he decided to leave the kingdom. Kunti mentioned to Pandu her special gift in which she could call upon any god. The god of truth was c...
