Fitness plays an important role in my everyday life just by keeping me active and busy. Whether it be physically working out by lifting weights and running or developing healthy eating habits by not eating foods that could potentially be very unhealthy for my body. Fitness to me is more than just a hobby to do for fun, fitness is an activity that could impact personal lives or even others for the better.

I personally know what motivated me to start getting into the fitness lifestyle and the benefits that it would give me just by continuing along with staying healthy and fit, so for my audio story I wanted to hear from another person’s perspective on what brought them into the fitness lifestyle and hear what goals and results they expect to see themselves with.

Having an interview with Evan Slate, a 23-year-old, Junior at WSU, it was nice to see where he started from and what motivates him to achieve the goals he set for himself later in life. Hearing the goals and routines Evan has for himself and the way he goes about with his fitness journey, it was noticeable to me that there were many differences between the goals I had for myself and what he has for himself. I went on to ask Evan the same questions I personally asked myself when I first being getting heavily into fitness to see how similar they would be or compared how different they are.

After recording the rough draft and having my peers listening to it as well as critique it to help me improve my adobe skills, they suggested that I fixed some of the cut clips to make the interview sound smoother and have better flow rather than some of the words cut off and skipped into the next subject. So, what I did for the final draft was uncut all of the clips and cut where it would have a better transition to the next question and answer.

I hope you all enjoy the final audio, as you hear the behind the scene story of Evan Slate.

The main objective of my story of getting more deeply involved in fitness comes from my background of being heavily active in sports and weight training. I personally know what motivated to start getting into the fitness lifestyle and the benefits that it would give me just by continuing along with staying healthy and fit, so for my draft story I wanted to hear from another person’s perspective on what brought them into the fitness lifestyle and hear what goals and results they expect to see themselves with.

I believe it is important to hear from another perspective on why they do or chose to do the things that they do because not all reasons to those actions are going to be similar to one another. Something that I am destined to do as I continue on with the fitness journey is to motivate others to join along and help them when they don’t know where to begin.

I come from a very big family and I was the first to begin playing sports. Once I started playing sports I knew it was important to be the healthiest I could possibly be. If that meant I couldn’t eat fast food when the rest of my family did, then so be it. I had to go down a different path to set that example of if you want to look right and be healthy, you have to get rid of bad unhealthy habits.

So far in my journey I have impacted multiple people’s lives helping them get where they want to be cause they have witness seeing my results and it has pushed them to also follow along. So, having an interview with Evan, it was nice to see where he started from and what motivates him to achieve the goals he set for himself later in life.

Final Logo Project

The design process to my logo was to incorporate the first initial of my last name with the text “sports performance” outlining or over it. In the initial draft logo project, I was looking to use more of the adobe illustrator tools and shapes to create my logo but found it more difficult to come up with a 3D letter to symbolize “Barefield Sports Performance”. With the critiques and help from my peers, I decided to use the text tool and insert the letter “B” and make it into a 3D letter itself with a shadow drop and different text font. The revisions to my final logo post consisted of having the “Sports Performance” text at the bottom of the letter so that it did not seem to be congested with the main focus of what the logo is. Some things that I also incorporated into the logo was a brief description on the left-hand side of what my logo’s purpose is and what the business is meant for. My original idea to the logo to make it known the purpose is for sports performance was to have the background of the main logo be something like a football to make it look as if the logo was printed on the side of a football. Another alternative to the logo was to include some kind of imagery of workout equipment like a barbell. The final decision and touches that I made with my final logo project were creating a unique 3D letter and have the description at the bottom of the letter to make it more readable. I was inspired to add more detail to the design so having the word descriptions included next to the logo helps give a better understanding to those looking at the logo and answering any questions they had about what “Barefield Sports Performance” is.
