Quarantined student through video

       This assignment was unique because we were challenged to convey a certain message and theme without the use of any speaking or text in the video. The theme was "Buffalo State student during quarantine". To convey this theme, the use of symbols representing both the school, and the corona virus were very important. Posters with Corona virus protocols posted around the campus did an excellent job of showing the pandemic was happening.

At first the main function of the site was following celebrities or famous people and keeping up with them on a somewhat personal level through their tweets.
