MAKING….

Over the course of the semester WANDER WITH LUCE has produced

• Three videos posted on IGTV and YouTube
• Posted twenty four posts on Instagram
• Gained nighty seven followers
• Interacted with my users through Instagram stories and polls

Each post I’ve been iterating based on feedback from my users, so I continue to produce content that will give them more value.
I still post “duds” from time to time, but I see this as a learning experience to see what is working for my users and what isn’t.

I’ve had a lot of #FEFO moments, but that’s part of the journey. And at times I’ve felt as though my Digital Artefact hasn’t always had the T in #FIST. My DA to a degree has been weather dependent, and with my initial expectations of creating five videos over the semester, those expectations weren’t really ‘Tiny’. I’ve learnt to iterate my Digital Artefact and work with what I had and the time I had. At times a put a lot of pressure on myself to produce what I initially set out to do, however with the feedback from teachers and users it helped me understand that iteration is good and prototyping is a necessary tool in developing a Digital artefact. I’m thrilled with the progress “Wander with Luce” has had and will continue to have.

Over this course of this semester, I’ve learnt a lot I came into bcm114 not knowing what I was doing, and in such a short period I’ve learnt so much about what I love doing. It’s crazy before starting my DA I’ve always wanted to produce content and videos but never really knew how to go about it/didn’t have the courage to put myself out there online to be judged/criticized. But at the end of the day if you’re doing something you love and are passionate about it doesn’t matter if EVERYBODY likes it matters if it makes you happy and you enjoy what you’re doing.
If WANDER WITH LUCE brings joy or teaches something to even one person, then that is enough for me.

I started ‘Wander with Luce’ because I wanted to share the places I visit around the Illawarra and South Coast and show people places to visit/ hidden spots people may not know about while in the area. I wanted to encourage people to get outdoors more and explore what this world has to offer, if they aren’t from the area, get outdoors and explore their local area.
I feel as though I have started to achieve this, and I will continue to do so.

WANDER WITH LUCE series of the Illawarra may be coming to a close. Still, I’ve already started thinking about the future and based on feedback from my users; my next instalment will be a series of hiking ad exploring my hometown of Newcastle.

Stay tuned for this next chapter, and I hope you have enjoyed this adventure with me it’s been an epic ride.

Until next time
