Blog Entry A



a.) My capstone research topic is about eye health in the field of optometry. The question I will be researching is, what is the proper protection for your eyes to prevent eye injuries in the future? Are there special types of sunglasses you should wear?


b.) This topic is important because the sun's ultraviolet rays can be really harmful and can cause serious eye injuries in the future.

c.) This capstone project fits with my career because I want to pursue optometry.

d.) My project gives back by informing teens and athletes the harms of ultraviolet rays.

e.) My capstone project will be a great learning experience and will help community building as well teaching.

Monday Jan 13- Good Critic, Bad Critic

Divya's Yearbook Good Critic-

I really like the purple and white with the gray design. It looks like a mix of modern with vintage which I really like! Good job. I also like the font that you chose!






Divya's Yearbook Bad Critic-

If she sat next to Nader it would be perfect. However, it needs some more work to it. Seems plain, the left side of the cover seems too dark, and adding some brightness to it could make it a bit more appealing and match with the color scheme of the white on the right side. Once improved, I would definitely want to see this cover on the background of the RCHS yearbook of 2013-2014.

Jan.8- Why did you choose your historic photo?

The reason I chose my historic photo was because of the spacing between the girls position and the lighting. 
A challenge I had was when I was trying to hue my dress to a gold-yellow color to match the other girls in the historic photo. 
After learning how to mask myself in the photo it became really easy to crop and fringe myself into the historic photo.

The era of vintage I feel drawn to is the 1950.

Capstone Topic & Innovation

My capstone topic is about eye health in the field of optometry.
It's a better way for teens and athletes to protect their eyes while playing sports. My idea is to create polarized contact lenses so they do not have to wear sunglasses.
