Title A name given to the resource Chris Hondros Description An account of the resource Chris Hondros was a legendary photojournalist who was killed on the front lines of the Libyan Civil War in 2011. He shot dozens, if not hundreds of photos of active war zones, particularly in the middle east, and his photography made it possible for Americans to know the extent of violence and brutality which occurred in that region at that time. He was also an NC State alum. Journalists always talk about the "human thread" of a story. It's important to bring down the scale of something as huge and awful as a war so that people can connect to it on an individual level. It's easy for us to distance ourselves emotionally from these things as a coping mechanism, so photojournalists like Hondros work to prevent that. I chose this photo because it shows the extent of the danger Hondros put himself in to take these pictures. He stood in a burning building, photographing men with guns from inches away as they shot at one another. He has much more "humanizing" photos than this, such as his images of child soldiers, but this photo really showed how far he was willing to go for the sake of informing the public about what was going on in those places.

Title A name given to the resource Nike of Samothrace Description An account of the resource Despite its lack of a head or arms, this sculpture of the winged goddess of victory is one of the most famous sculptures in the world. As such, it is a part of most people's visual vocabularies. Interestingly, though, Nike, being a winged woman, is rather difficult to differentiate from a statue of a typical Christian angel. Most people would not even recognize her if she did have a head and arms, even though these were not the artist's original intention. Changing times lend the same image different meanings — however, Nike has managed to retain her original meaning by changing her shape. Losing her head and arms preserved her image thousands of years into the future.

Title A name given to the resource My first guitar Subject The topic of the resource Personal Objects Description An account of the resource This is a photo of my first guitar. It is an Alvarez Dana Scoop guitar made by the well-known acoustic guitar brand "Alvarez." They made these guitars from 1991-1994 so this guitar is older than me. They made them so they could compete with other guitar companies making 80's style shred guitars like Ibanez and Charvel-Jackson. All of them are made in Korea in a similar construction to the one I have. My mother got this guitar for me when I was in high school as it was affordable since the previous owner had not taken the best care of it. However, it was still playable and to this day I am thankful for my mother buying it for me as a gift. Regardless of how many guitars I've had, I still have have a sweet spot for this guitar and always will. Fun fact about this instrument; the cutaway it has behind the neck where it joins the body was made as a result of an accident in the factory. A worker was routing Alvarez's standard "Super-strat" style guitar bodies and when he got to the neck-joint a piece of the body flew off. Long story short, he smoothed out the gap in the body with the router and the company loved it so they made it and called it the "scoop" guitar. Hence the name "Alvarez Dana Scoop" The design of this instrument is made to be striking in appearance to get the attention of whoever is seeing you play music, it's also meant to be practical one can sit down and play it like almost any other guitar. It has a pre-amp in the wiring components to make the pickups active which helps them pick up more vibrations from the strings. This makes playing on the clean channel sound more clear and have more sustain with each note. The same can be said for the distortion channel as the active pickups make the guitar sound really heavy and "throttled out." It's a guitar designed for metal and solos as the Floyd Rose floating tremolo gives access to a "whammy bar" and gives players the opportunity to do all sorts of sounds on the instrument. Metal players will love this guitar as it looks and sounds the part.

Title A name given to the resource Halo 3 Legendary Edition Helmet Description An account of the resource I have been an avid player of video games for most of my life, and I got my start by playing Halo 2 with my dad. Those memories are very precious to me. I received this helmet from my dad when he won an online tournament in Halo 3. The prize was a copy of Halo 3: Legendary Edition, which came with that helmet. That helmet is very dear to me because it is a memento from the past of when I got to play video games with my dad.

Title A name given to the resource Fake Panda-shaped Succulent Plant Description An account of the resource I enjoy going to Dave n Busters and stack up tickets just to collect plushies and useless decorations. This fake succulent plant is one of my most favorite things that I have traded for because I have always wanted to have plants in my apartment, and have tried real succulents before and they always die (i’m a terrible plant owner). This thing is perfect because I don’t have to take care of it and it’s so stinkin cute! Pandas are also my favorite animals. I collect figurines also and this thing stays on my “trophy” bookcase!

Title A name given to the resource Carter Finley Subject The topic of the resource Special to me Description An account of the resource Carter Finley stadium is a special place to me. I have grown up going to games every Saturday in the fall with my family. We arrive when the tailgate lots open and enjoy our time together grilling and playing corn hole getting ready for the game. Although Carter Finley has changed over the years with additions, renovations, and upgrades, Carter Finley is still a special place to many people. When State fans think of Carter Finley, they think of all the memories they have made whether big wins or tailgating with their friends and family. Football and tailgating is a social thing at State and brings people in together. Even though the stadium, the team, and the fans have changed over the years it is still Carter Finley.

Title A name given to the resource Fiat Spider Subject The topic of the resource Automotive Description An account of the resource This is a Fiat Spider, a car that was made from 1969 until 1984. It's an iconic Italian design by Pininfarina, a renowned design house responsible for many other memorable automotive and industrial designs. The basic body design remained unchanged for many years, and it was a very popular car in the US. It featured a 4 cylinder engine that grew from 1600 cc to 2000 cc over the life of the car that was in later versions quite reliable. Unfortunately safety laws in the 70's required 5 mph bumpers, which impacted the look of the car - so earlier versions are more valuable. I had owned a series of "boring basic transportation" cars, and managed to save up enough money to buy one of these. It was somewhat true to its reputation in that the car was not 100% reliable, but it served me well. The only recurring problems I had were the notorious rust and some electrical gremlins that I managed to tame. The defroster was pathetic, but it worked (sort of). However, it was a blast to drive, and looked great. I actually ended up owning two, the first was a dark green that was the first car I owned that I was in love with, but it was totaled in a wreck. I bought another one which was a newer model that was a light metallic blue, like the one in this picture. I have owned other cars after this one, but none have had the same impact that this one had on my life. I go on ebay and shop for them every once and a while, wishing I had a garage where I could keep one, safe from the elements.

Title A name given to the resource NC State Prague Institute Subject The topic of the resource Designed Object Description An account of the resource This is the courtyard of the NC State Prague Institute building. I studied abroad there summer of 2018. One of the four walls is a living wall covered in ivy and the other three are glass with artwork etched on it. The floor is stone and there are tables and chairs with umbrellas. A tree grows in the middle. This space is meant to be open and inviting and foster discussion and connections. There is a connection to nature while still feeling connected to the vibe of the city - the stone floors accomplish that. The tables invite conversation, which spark friendships. The glass walls make the space seem open, while muffling noise for those in class in the rooms around the space. The umbrellas on the table make it a much more all-weather space, it can still be used if too sunny or even raining. The tree in the middle represents growth, which is what administrators hope students who attend the Institute achieve.

Title A name given to the resource Spotify Subject The topic of the resource Website Design Description An account of the resource This is a screenshot of my Spotify homepage on the web browser format. Spotify focuses on maintaining a very streamlined design for their site and makes navigation very simple. The tiles for your recently played and heavy rotation playlists are large so you can easily find the things you listen to consistently. The tiles also have distinctive images so you can find what you are looking for quickly. Playlists can have four album covers from the mix on the tile or can just have one large image. On my homepage, the Binge Mode podcast has a bright pink image on the tile so when a listener looks for it, it stands out even more and is easy to find and play. The Disney playlist tile image also changes as new music comes out so that it shows the most recent and trending soundtracks, in this case, Frozen 2. The side bar also has a running list of your saved playlists so that you don't have to click through different areas of the website to pick a playlist you haven't used in a while. The dark grey color palate gives a calming effect and helps the playlists stand out so that there is not too much color for the user to take in while they are looking for their music. The play bar at the bottom of the page has large enough buttons to be easily clicked but not so large to be invasive on the rest of the page. The grey buttons will also turn green and have a circular symbol, the color of the Spotify logo, when they are clicked. In this image, you can see that my shuffle is on because it is lit green and has a small dot underneath the symbol, likely there for users who are green colorblind. The tile of the playlist will also have a green pause symbol in the bottom right corner while it is being played on the bottom bar so that if you are browsing, you can pause your music from multiple spots and so you can see what you are listening to.
