American Red Cross audio PSA


This is our PSA for the American Red Cross. This audio PSA was originally intended to be a video, however Mike and I decided that it was more powerful as a podcast due to poor lighting and background. Mike and I created a new campaign for the American Red Cross in an attempt to increase blood donations. With the campaign we created, donors would be able to track their donations to see the cause that they impacted. This effort to increase donations is called the " Be a Hero Campaign". The logo we used is property of the American Red Cross. Music is credited to Explosions in the Sky and the song is entitled " Your Hand in Mine".

Skrillex

In the wide world of electronic music there are hundreds of thousands of people fighting to be on top. Eectronic music is becoming more and more mainstream and therefore more people are creating it. Top electronic artists like "Bassnectar", "Pretty Lights", and "Deadmau5" can hardly keep up with the demand for their music. With so many people trying to get a peice of the pie you can't be just another face in the crowd.

Skrillex is an electronic musician that has only been around for 4 years and previosuly sang for a famous emo/hardcore hand called " From First to Last". His music style has changed just as much as his fanbase however he is only increasing in popularity. Rather he is Sonny Moore, the frontman for "From First to Last", or an electronic musician named Skirllex, he has no problem making music that people want to here. His image has went from emo punk kid to a rising D.J. in only a few years and has not let his confused image stop him in the slightest.
