Want to display creative work in the Tufts Community? The Digital Design Studio at Tisch Library is seeking submissions for our annual art showcase! 

Do you want everyone to know about your favorite show or how you rank animals on a scale of “ew” to “I’d die for you?” Bring some friends & tell us about it in a not weird way at all! Slide decks welcome.

Feel free to present on any topic (silly or academic) during this time. Giving presentations doesn't have to be anxiety-inducing. This is your opportunity to practice public speaking by talking about what you know best!

Snacks & Drinks provided.

Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Join us on Wed.

We will also view the virtual event hosted by the Library of Congress that will run concurrently during our transcribe-a-thon.

Need a brain break? Come learn how to animate in Adobe After Effects using shapes and found images. At the end of our time we’ll compile everyone’s animation into one video to create a collaborative loop. No prior experience required.

ArcGIS StoryMaps is a digital storytelling tool that allows you to combine interactive maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia. With the rise of geographic information systems (GIS), accessible online tools and modes of publication, digital mapping has become a powerful tool for underrepresented and marginalized communities to tell their own stories, resisting colonial narratives and visualizing erased histories. With ArcGIS tools, communities can combine oral histories, archival documents, and interactive tours.

In this workshop you will learn basic video recording strategies and editing tools.  We will use the Video Recording Kit which has a Sony a6600 mirrorless camera and Adobe Premiere Pro but skills are translatable to other cameras and software.  We will cover basic media management, recording and editing techniques, and saving your files.  We hope by the end of this workshop you will feel empowered to check out media equipment and know more about resources available to support you during your next project.
