Hmm more information presented

Gd day

Well after Tuesday's class I have come to the realization I have so much more elements that can and should be added to this artifact, to attain the required. So when I got in last night and played most of Bro Val songs to get the feel of all his messages in song. From Stay up Zimbawe, to Life is a Stage. 

Also I want to add another element of Alternative Publishing like drawings(not the best asset I possess). 

I love doing this project especially seeing i have such love for the artiste and his contributions to society(in song especially)

Hopefully pretty soon I can get the opprtunity to head to S. Grande to meet the artiste

Nothing too heavy

Today I intended to head to S/Grande to visit Bro Valentino, but due to unforseen issues I will have to post pone that visit. Maybe next week Saturday(seeing that is the only free day I have to do anything), to take some pictures and chat even. I am soo excited about this artifact.

The begining -Bro Val

Well it has begun.. My assignment/artifact was not a difficult one to come up with, especially with the constant reminded of its Alternative Publishing style and elements or content. 

After receiving great reviews from my prior final year project(A 30 min Radio Documentary on the Calypsonian Brother Valentino) of the HND Dipolma, I thought why not expand on the piece (which encompasses elements of Alternative Publishing- as such a piece has never been done on a Calypsonian in Trinidad and Tobago). 

Currently I am leaning more so to doing a Fan-zine on the artiste, however honestly another part of me is drawn towards a Bro V website. I may just stick with the 1st idea. 

This zine will contain, information on the legend, photos of the most recent visit to his home(showing displays of his awards and other congratulatory items), it may also contain an area where other fan or even fellow colleagues can tap in and place comments etc pertaining of course to the Calypsonian.

Anyway it is late and tomorrow's another day...so until my next entry(which may just be tomorrow)..this is where I say good night.
