1. What is your vision for the project?

My vision statement is to gain exposure for Detroit’s talents and emerging
artists, musicians and community activists.  I want to feature some of
Detroit’s unfamiliar places and faces within our bustling underground.

2.  What ideas do you have for your media project?

For my media project I want to create a site that highlights and captures
the faces, artists, and organizations that are rebuilding Detroit.  My
ideas for the media project are a work in progress.

3.  What are you planning to investigate and how does it support your
vision for Detroit’s future?

I plan to investigate the history of music and talent in our city as we
move into the future. Beehive Recording Studios sets a new model for the
recording industry.  I’d like to be a part of the reshaping of the image
of a city associated with decay, social strife, and abandonment.  This
entails investigating the city’s art, culture and entertainment
underground communities.  I plan to explore Detroit’s events, shows,
meetings, workshops and off the cuff beaten path communities.  Endlessly,
I would like to explore the unique world of Detroit’s Corktown, Midtown,
downtown, Corridor, Hamtramck and everywhere in between.  This involves
creating a platform to showcase Detroit’s diverse, dedicated and talented
community activists.  The goal is to reimagine Detroit as the epicenter of
creative and global resurgence.

4.  What media skills do you need and want to complete your project?

To complete my media project I will need to be able to tweet effectively,
edit content and submit relevant material to the target audience.  This
will involve knowing the best platform for telling my story.  In addition,
I’d like to have an understanding of HTML and CSS and knowing how they’re
used to make webpages.
