All Instructional Designers must have creative skills to increase learner or student engagement. In order to apply these creative skills for implementation and delivery, I have examples of my work producing media for learning. In these projects I included elements of surprise, simplicity, and user experience design. I was the lead on all of these projects and recruited helpers for modeling, acting, camera handling, and brainstorming. For this course, we created freely with iterations. Design documentation was not produced for these projects.
Instructional Website: Gurly Hair How To
My pride and joy of this category is my Gurly Hair How To website. For this project, I produced three hair tutorials. Each tutorial contains two camera angles and omnidirectional sound. I recorded these videos in my living room. My friends were kind to help me do a second camera and model. The target audience was fathers with little girls. The website was to be delivered on a mobile device. I used a Wix template to design and deliver the website.

Video: Making Coffee in 30 Seconds or Less
For this assignment, I was instructed to create an instructional video that did not exceed 30 seconds in play time. I chose to do making coffee. To mirror current trends in cooking and baking instructional videos on social media, I used fast cuts and quick movement to maintain instructional value and stay within the 30 second restraint.
