Title A name given to the resource Culinary Crossroads: A Journey Through the James Beard Foundation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sayfunddinov, Shon Abstract A summary of the resource. In the summer of 2023, amidst the vibrant and historic backdrop of Florence, Italy, I embarked on a unique and enriching experience that bridged my worlds of culinary arts and digital storytelling. My invitation to the James Beard Foundation program, as part of my study abroad, offered me an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the intricacies of culinary education and its profound impact on aspiring chefs. This documentary, titled "Culinary Crossroads: A Journey Through the James Beard Foundation," is a visual and narrative exploration of the foundation's mission, the program's offerings for culinary students, and the myriad challenges and opportunities it presents. JBF symbolizes culinary excellence, nurturing young talents through education, scholarships, and practical experiences. The film captures this prestigious program's essence, emphasizing the pursuit of culinary perfection. As a digital storytelling major, "Culinary Crossroads" explores how food connects and inspires, transcending borders to unite people. It's a homage to cooking's art and the community it builds, encouraging viewers to savor the diverse flavors and stories that shape our world. "Culinary Crossroads" is more than a documentary; it is a tribute to the spirit of culinary exploration and the transformative power of food. Through intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, it offers a glimpse into the dedication required to excel in the culinary world, the beauty of culinary traditions, and the innovative spirit driving the gastronomic future. It is an endeavor to capture the soul of the culinary arts and the essence of those who dedicate their lives to pushing its boundaries. Through "Culinary Crossroads," I aim to illustrate how food connects us all, transcending borders and bringing people together in the most delicious ways.

Title A name given to the resource Cycles Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Morrow, Ray Gomez, Emma Maher, Maggie Borgman, Trevor Abstract A summary of the resource. I’ve been making videos since I was a little kid, going back to when I would take my parents old camcorder and make little movies with my toys. It’s always been a passion of mine. The ability to tell stories with endless possibilities all through moving images, sounds, lights, is something so captivating to me. Everybody has beautiful stories worth telling, and I believe everybody has the capacity to do so. I have the utmost respect for all forms of art, for people telling their stories. It’s an honor and a privilege for me to be able to go to school to do the thing I love. Cycles is my first big project that I’ve written and directed. It’s the culmination of a whole semester of work, of blood, sweat, and tears. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource We Are Not Just A Day Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wilson, Emily Abstract A summary of the resource. National Girls and Women in Sports Day was created to be a day of recognition for the work and success of female athletes and the women who support them, but women in sports are so much more than a single day in February. With that on my heart, I set out to create a video with the intent to make people stop and notice the accomplishments of these hard-working women, as well as question why women are only awarded one day of the year to celebrate the uniqueness of their athletic prowess. My goal was to transform the narrative of National Girls and Women in Sports Day from an annual anomaly to an everyday recognition and celebration of sports accomplishment by female athletes. I spent ten years of my adolescence as a competitive cheerleader and was constantly told I was not an athlete. Going into college, I knew creative videography was my calling, but was encouraged by men around me to avoid the sports industry because I had “no place there” as a woman to accomplish anything of significance. Mizzou Athletics gave me an opportunity and I have spent the last year of my life growing as a creative and a woman in this industry. This project challenges the ideas of what makes us qualified to be successful at what we love and gave me an opportunity to acknowledge how I have grown in my work and professional skills, as well as celebrate the hardworking athletes I work alongside daily.

Title A name given to the resource Self-Portrait Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kisida, Desmond Abstract A summary of the resource. I am Desmond Kisida, a photographer and video artist based in Columbia, MO. Rooted in my deep appreciation for storytelling, I have an extensive background in photojournalism. My photography has been recognized with awards such as the Best of Show Award in Photojournalism from the National Scholastic Press Association. And in 2023, works of mine from serving as a photo volunteer for the True/False Film Fest were chosen to be featured in the festival’s photography exhibition, Trial and Error. With photography as my foundational medium, I’ve noticed a consistent integration of photography and music in my foray into video, resulting in unique and evocative short films. Through my approach, disparate and niche influences, hitherto unspoken in the same sentence, seamlessly blend. My work offers viewers an immersive experience that oscillates between the polished aesthetics of cinema, the gritty realism of journalism, and the conceptual independence of abstractionism. My current long-form project summarizes my commitment to digital storytelling. Since August 2023, I have been following the journey of a freshman here at Mizzou, capturing the unfolding chapters of his college experience. This ongoing endeavor will culminate in a documentary that epitomizes all four years of his collegiate life, offering a nuanced and intimate exploration of growth and self-discovery. As I navigate the realms of photography and video, my aim is to create a harmonious relationship between the two. Through the lens of my camera, I strive to capture not just moments in time but essences of the human experience. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Gas city night crime Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Zarrick, Christian Abstract A summary of the resource. Gas City Night Crime is a short film following two robbers, Roger and his partner Burt, who dedicate themselves to full time burglary. Both lack the volition to work genuine, secure jobs, but also lack the guts to commit crimes of a bigger scale. They settle for robbing several small, uncharted convenience stores and gas stations, and the film picks up during one of their nightly marks. While attempting to ransack the local gas station, the two are thrown for a loop after realizing the store clerk isn’t who they expected him to be. This piece is a dramatic, dark comedy that perfectly captures the conflicting nature of an empathetic criminal, partnered with a money-hungry douchebag. The film twists the narrative to shock the audience with unexpected comedic timing, and utilizes composition, costuming, and performance to drive home its absurdist humor. Gas City Night Crime conveys moral dilemmas through a warped, comedic tone, all while presenting an interesting underlying theme of empathy against greed.

Title A name given to the resource All That Remains (and That Which Does Not) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Betts, Reese Abstract A summary of the resource. All That Remains (and That Which Does Not) is a video art piece projection mapped onto a framed soft sculpture made of tumbled glass and hand-knitted ribbons of acrylic yarn. This piece is meant to convey the complexities of human emotion and emphasize our continuous pattern of connecting our emotions and memories to the motif of water, despite barriers of time and differing cultures. The idea of connection is expressed through over a thousand stitches of interweaving yarn and shared color palettes which transcend the knitted borders that constrain each piece of glass. The imagery used within the projection contains documentation of an animation made from live EEG data and phone recordings of natural and man-made bodies of water. The EEG- based visuals are Illustrator vectors which were animated according to data on brain activity and facial expression, input from an EMOTIV EPOC headset through Touch Designer. Given its relation to the concepts of water and the existence of life outside of ourselves, this piece is eco-conscious – using recycled materials and creating limited waste.

Title A name given to the resource Memories Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Zerr, Korrin Abstract A summary of the resource. A floral installation dedicated to the memories made with my grandma and how those moments of grief and time have molded my family into who they are today. Tints, tones, and shades of brown curly willow create movement and swirls within this floral tribute for the evolution of grief and growth after loss. There are five well-known and recognizable stages of the grieving process: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. But I believe there is an unexpected sixth step, and that is remembrance. Remembrance makes us feel waves of emotion: sadness, frustration, and even happiness. No matter what time passes, there will always be small reminders of the person you love. Those memories, while they may be hard, will allow you to enjoy small pieces of who they were and how they made you who you are today. My grandma was rooted in a kind of dedication and love for our family. She could be found baking fresh cinnamon rolls or taking steps to ensure that our family farm prospered for generations to come. She was grounding and she supported us. The sculpture of this tree symbolizes the growth and healing after loss. As trees age, their growth is not linear. They hold a memory of the weather and the growing conditions of years past. My symbolic family tree and literal trees alike, when a loss is suffered it is felt for years to come. This tree represents the unforeseeable emotions and memories that engulf us during the grieving process. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource To perform Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Reece, Allie Abstract A summary of the resource. In this piece using the medium of modern dance, I explore the complexity of the performative aspects of our lives. Using movement that expresses the discomfort our body and soul experience when we are fitting into roles or norms that are limiting, I explore how silencing our authenticity is damaging to our psyche and spiritual need for self expression. Using a public space while filming this choreography, this piece experiments with the boundaries we draw to maintain our composure, to uphold conformity for safety even at our expense, consciously and subconsciously.

Title A name given to the resource Styled By Vespa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Krause, Zoe Dube, Emma Abstract A summary of the resource. Our design highlights the craftsmanship of Vespa products through imagery and graphic style inspired by vintage Italian posters. Our goal is to showcase the brand’s heritage and longevity through thoughtful design choices. We were inspired by the work of artists like Paolo Garretto (Lambretta, circa 1955) and Federico Seneca (Cioccolatini Perugina, 1928). Their poster designs and Italian heritage spoke to the Italian brand and led our decision making in typography, color, and composition. The rich and muted jewel tones with bold simple shapes guide our design in a direction reminiscent of their work. We wanted to highlight Vespa as classically Italian and infused with style through print ad design. We focused on Vespa accessories more than the actual scooter to frame Vespa as a lifestyle beyond their vehicles. Additionally, the choice to add texture creates a poster-like look to further drive home Vespa as a beautiful brand that’s art-worthy. If these ads were put into a print production for the masses, the goal is for these to stand alone as artistic posters that exhibit Vespa as a lifestyle choice. Vespa is worthy of their own illustrative posters. Vespa is classic and stylish and should be represented as so. We aim to merge a brand with an aesthetic beyond their product to elevate and highlight their legacy. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Seven Zero - Spirit Free Lounge Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Benedek, Madddie Abstract A summary of the resource. Seven Zero - Spirit Free Lounge is a seventies inspired bar serving zero proof cocktails. Seven Zero aims to create a welcoming atmosphere without the pressures of consuming alcohol. Delicious mocktails and groovy atmospheres inspire the logo and branding that is the backbone of Seven Zero. The brand intends to cater towards “the healthy partier” - a consumer who knows how to balance work and play, and can respect that sometimes the hangover isn’t worth it. After developing a brand personality, I took these pieces and arrived at the logo and brand that is Seven Zero. The three primary logo colors - electric pink, orange peel, and lime wedge - along with the curvy linework that makes up the logo, are all inspired by designs typical to the seventies era. The logo is intentionally suitable for multiple surfaces. Examples of the design can be seen as wall art, on t-shirts, and as outdoor signage. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Heaven: Heaven is a Square Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Badgerow, Audrey Franck, Lily Abstract A summary of the resource. C. Howard’s ‘mints’ are an enigma worthy of their cult following. With odd flavors like violet, lemon, and guava, these mints border on pocket candy. To play on the playful nature of C. Howard’s flavors and to express their proper pronunciation (often mistaken for ‘chowards’), we created the C. Howards, C. Heaven campaign for our Strategic Communications Creative Portfolio class. Placing the ‘C’ of C. Howards next to the insinuated “see” of ‘C. Heaven’ both expresses the brand’s proper pronunciation while illustrating C. Howard’s unique taste. To visually communicate the flavorful heaven of C. Howards and nod at its iconic square-tab shape, we paired psychedelic language with characters dressed in bold prints, each dreaming of their own, surreal digital collage. To enhance the connection between C. Howard’s eclectic brand identity and that of its far-from-square enthusiasts, we matched each character’s color palettes to the flavor they represent. For our video extension, we amplified the joking connection between squared-shaped C. Howards and psychedelics both visually and sonically, with video copy to clarify that we are indeed talking about a minty-ish, candy-ish product. The mid-century setting, hand-drawn multimedia animation, and fast-paced synched sound with the song “Barley” by Water From Your Eyes’ all combine to create an attention-grabbing video that can break through the social media clutter.

Title A name given to the resource Beautiful Moon Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gobble, Jordyn Abstract A summary of the resource. Beautiful Moon is a 16 page graphic design piece outlining the brand guidelines for a fictitious landscaping company of the same name. While it may not look like it at first glance, this project is rooted in the idea of healing. Firstly, it targets healing the earth through its use of native plants and rain garden techniques to ensure natural growth and strategic flooding. Secondly, it targets healing the mind of the consumer through providing a method of escapism in its transformative gardens that take you to alternate worlds and promote meditation through its configurations. The design elements outlined and utilized in this piece work to convey these sentiments. The name Beautiful Moon is derived from the phrase “The moon is beautiful, isn't it?,” a direct translation of the Japanese term for I love you; in having this name, it creates a silent exchange between the consumer and the earth, thanking each other for their help. This message is expressed visually through the company’s logo which depicts a leaf undergoing the phases of the moon, creating imagery of natural growth and conveying the concept of transforming into a new world, a new day. Lastly, the use of a muted color palette, yet vivid imagery, is used to emphasize the harmony between reality and fantasy. Altogether, the hope for viewers is to be able to visualize this company in actuality through not only the information provided, but the design and incorporation of these elements into the branding itself.

Title A name given to the resource Our Amazing Planet Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cowen, Jae Abstract A summary of the resource. Nature was so important and influential to me as a child, and as an adult, it is one of the only spaces that helps me with anxiety in a world that usually heightens it. As the author, illustrator, constructor, and designer of this project, I aimed to ignite the same sense of excitement and curiosity in young readers about the natural world that I have, while also instilling a sense of responsibility for its preservation. Through colorful illustrations and a rhyme pattern, the book invites children to explore different ecosystems and also hints at some ways to protect them. In a world increasingly dominated by technology, I believe it's essential to provide children with tactile, sensory experiences if you want to captivate their attention, hints the pop-up aspect. This process involved a lot of research, X-acto knives, and patience, but I am overall very happy with how it came out and think that the Pop-up format will help make this book hold children’s attention. It is so crucial for all humans, not just kids, to think deeply about the planet and how their actions can affect its future. This is why I included some “easter eggs” for adults who read the book to find as well. Through hidden graphs and extra text, more mature readers will see some more pressing data that isn’t so “kid-friendly” but gives a taste of how important switching to a more sustainable lifestyle and mentality is for everyone.

Title A name given to the resource Pitch Deck for Mockups and Mocktails Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Radke, Grace Abstract A summary of the resource. The main idea behind Mockups and Mocktails is about creating a space for creatives to meet other people similar to them, being able to share ideas and reduce burnout. Mockups and Mocktails is a place for college graduates to make friends outside of work because there aren’t as many personalized spaces in the professional world like there is in college to meet people. This is a space for creatives to enjoy exciting, one-of-a-kind drink concoctions while making a friend or going out for a business meeting. Mockups and Mocktails is the place for creatives in their 20s-30s to unwind after work and enjoy good conversation and good ideas. In terms of branding, I wanted to put an emphasis on the ampersand sign, because the idea of the brand is merging two unlike concepts into a unified brand. Merging unlike concepts is something that artists do everyday, making this idea the perfect backdrop for a brand that is looking to engage with creatives. The original scope for this company was that it was a non-alcholic bar, with a 70’s, retro feel, which is why I chose the specific colors and typography featured in the pitch deck. I wanted the branding to feel sophisticated and creative, drawing in a crowd of artistic professionals looking for commonality in a shared space. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource PYROFUSION Brand Guidelines Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Smith, Ally Abstract A summary of the resource. As the designer behind PYROFUSION, I embarked on a journey to craft not just a product, but an experience. At the heart of this endeavor lies the meticulous crafting of an entire ecosystem of identity and experience, as reflected in the comprehensive brand guidelines I have created. I began with a vision to redefine the boundaries of outdoor cooking, infusing each element of PYROFUSION with a distinct blend of tradition and contemporary flair. Drawing inspiration from elements of fire and smoke, I embarked on a journey of exploration and experimentation, manifested in the brand wheel, mood board, competition sheet, and concept ideas, all curated to embody the essence of PYROFUSION. PYROFUSION embodies a blend of rugged durability and sleek elegance, resonating with both the seasoned grill master and the aspiring culinary enthusiast. Every aspect of its design, from the sleek logo to the intricate brand guidelines, speaks to the ethos of craftsmanship and excellence. At the core of this project was the creation of comprehensive brand guidelines. From the precise specifications of the logo design to the color palette inspired by the hues of a blazing fire, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure a cohesive and immersive brand experience. Through the lens of the brand guidelines, I aimed to encapsulate the essence of PYROFUSION, a celebration of craftsmanship, flavor, and community. It serves not only as a roadmap for design consistency but as a testament to the passion and dedication infused into every aspect of the brand’s identity.

Title A name given to the resource Ginger Rogers X 1970 Wearable Decor Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Funderburg, Will Abstract A summary of the resource. For my inspiration for this design, I wanted to take from the design elements of 1970s decor mixed with Hollywood actress, Ginger Rogers. From the 70s decor, I chose a floral wallpaper design and a corduroy chair, and used these textiles and design elements for my final design. I wanted to mix these 1970s elements of this with Ginger Rogers love of dance and movement created by her garments. For my design process, I wanted to take inspiration from both 70s fashion and Ginger Rogers fashions. Ginger's love of godets adding them into the classic 70s bell bottoms and lined bell sleeves helped add the movement and drama I was looking for. For my pattern making process, I drafted the shirt using paper manipulating the darts into princess seams, adding yokes, and adding fullness to the sleeves and collar to create drama. For the pants, I used CLO3D and drafted each piece using the software. I wanted to give the look of the chair in the pants with the appliqué on the side to give the same feel as the chair design style. Along with the use of the 70 floral print from the shirt to the pants back pockets and godets. I hope this garment portrays the whimsy and grooviness of the 70s, with the movement and flair of Ginger Rogers, to show the free expressive side of both in this piece.

Title A name given to the resource Times Square Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Biritz, Lauren Abstract A summary of the resource. My primary goal for this design was to showcase how unconventional materials can be given a second life through fashion. In my digital design course in the Fall of 2022, I was tasked to develop a digital concept for a sustainable apparel line. This led me to explore vinyl billboards and how they can be reused for apparel. Through my research, I discovered that about 25 million square meters of billboard fabric waste is generated annually in the U.S. While billboard vinyl can be recycled infinitely, they are still dumped into landfills and never break down. Since billboard vinyl is specifically designed to withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions, upcycling it when it reaches its intended end of life can create incredibly durable apparel products, limit landfill waste, and reduce pollution. Still fascinated by billboard vinyl after the semester ended, I decided to actualize my digital concept by purchasing a billboard. Times Square draws inspiration from 1960s styles, specifically the paper dresses, the space race, and mod styles. Featuring an A-line silhouette and color blocking, the dress leverages unique properties of the vinyl and transforms the wearer into an advertisement, reminiscent of Times Square itself. This dress not only highlights the potential for creativity in sustainable design but also emphasizes the need to reduce waste in the fashion industry. Through this dress, I hope to inspire others to think outside of the box, reconsider how they view the materials around them, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Title A name given to the resource Midnight Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Keys, Allison Abstract A summary of the resource. This garment, Midnight, was created from scratch, inspired by the American performer and icon, Ginger Rogers. Starting from initial inspiration drawn from her movies, dancing, photoshoots, and incredible fashion taste, I began exploring silhouettes from each decade Ginger thrived in through draping. I landed on a 1930s length and fit that emphasizes her sophistication and elegance through a sleek navy material enhanced with sheer embellished bell sleeves with a faux fur trim and added flare for dancing. Each of these features honors a different aspect of Ginger's inspiring personality that I felt connected to - elegance, sophistication, timelessness and youthfulness. When conceptualizing a new creation I strive to design a piece that aligns with the overarching theme, idea or person in question but also with my personal design aesthetic. After bringing my design and idea to life I hope the viewers are able to feel and understand the sparkling and inspiring presence of Ginger Roger, and even inspire them to embrace their own unique style with confidence.

Title A name given to the resource MANifest Destiny Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas, Tyler Abstract A summary of the resource. This project is a part of a larger work that explores masculine vulnerability. Through this project, my goal was to capture and investigate the contrasting nature of the vulnerable man. College is the first taste of independence for many young adults. For this reason, the time young men spend at college are significant, as the relationships they build tend to be the most genuine and heavily relied upon. When these relationships are not formed, there can be dire consequences. Manifest destiny is a phrase that summarizes men’s desire to forge their own path to success. Some would suggest that the desire to avoid the formation of deep relationships is inherently masculine. As a result, men often self isolate. In my photos, I capture both sides of this coin, capturing soft flesh and thick skin; cold stares and pain-afflicted eyes; the broken and the healed. This is the masculine experience.

Title A name given to the resource Black Utopia Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Davis, Trinity Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource A Utopia is an imaginary community or society that possesses highly desirable or near perfect qualities for its members. In my work Black Utopia, I imagine this condition for women in my community. Inspired by artist Tyler Mitchell, my photographs describe self-love, empowerment, and intelligence. I am pushed to create lyrical, poetic, almost sculptural works, which foreground the elegance I see within the African American community. Knowing that a Black Utopia will never be obtained, I am inclined to create images with a futuristic, almost unsettling touch. Many of my photographs block or restrict visual access to the portrait subject by way of nature, referencing the impossibility of Black Utopia. I am highlighting African American women in a way which uplifts and counteracts negative stereotypes placed upon us by mass media. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Behind the Curtian Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Acton, Hunter Abstract A summary of the resource. I have always thought drag was a beautiful art form, but I didn’t know much about the process that went into its creation. In our current political climate where gender expression and performance are being criminalized, I wanted to bring the viewer behind the curtain into a drag performer’s personal space where they could see the creative aspects and artistry of crafting the persona. In Behind the Curtain, I explore the intimate parts of drag to capture not only the performer but also their environment. For this project I took inspiration from many sources including the photobook of Jess T. Dugan’s, Look at Me Like You Love Me. In this book Dugan combines portraits and still lives to tell a very personal story about relationships, solitude, family, loss, healing, and the transformations that define a life. I employed Dugan’s technique to include still lives of the drag performer’s room and the aftermath of the performance. Like in Dugan’s work, my photos capture the direct gaze of the subject, creating a connection with the viewer. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Tiger Rapture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tobias, Cal Abstract A summary of the resource. The great sportswriter Steve Rushin once wrote a column, titled “Wrigley Rapture,” a beautiful first-person account of a Chicago Cubs day game at Wrigley Field, during which he hears this interesting exchange: A cell phone bleats behind first base, and the shirtless man who answers it says, "What? I can't hear you. No, I'm at Wrigley, watching these *&@#%! losers lose." But the complaint sounds insincere, halfhearted. Some are used to watching their team lose. Mizzou men’s basketball fans, who were treated to a 25-win season last year and an NCAA Tournament appearance, now are forced to endure a 14-game (and counting!!!) losing streak. If someone calls a Mizzou fan who is at a game, and the fan answers, “No, I’m at Mizzou Arena, watching these *&@#%! losers lose,” would it be insincere or halfhearted? Perhaps the losing has gotten so bad that the fan would be truthfully answering, meaning every bit of what he says, unlike the Cubbie fan. Those who, like me, who have watched every excruciating game, know what has taken place. We have seen the players lose hope. We have seen the coach cuss and scream in vain. We have even seen the mascot– joyous Tiger that he is– join in on the misery. In this photo series, gathered by me at the arena as I cover the men’s team for the sports blog Rock M Nation, I explore the experience as close to the action as anyone can get– as a credentialed press photographer on the court.
