Like sets and lights, costume design not only helps to tell the story, but also gives us insight into the individual characters (without them ever having to speak).  A character’s costume may indicate gender, position and status, occupation, occasion, and personality (modesty, flamboyance, independence, etc.) – the “essence” of that character.

For this Journal…

• find an image or link of a play, film or television show
• select one character
• and discuss what the costume design tells the viewer about that character

Remember, costumes involve more than actual attire (or lack there of).  Costumes also involve hats, masks, makeup, wigs, and accessories.  Review the Powerpoint notes on Costume Design to understand the objectives and goals for costume designers.  To get a better sense of how costumes “create” a character, watch the clip from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Effective information management and data governance are invaluable to an organization. For this assignment, first explain the concept of data governance and its importance within an organization. Then, identify two organizations that have benefited from implementing a technology that improved their data governance. These organizations may be ones you have personal experience with or that you have identified and studied through research. Briefly describe both organizations and then answer the following questions for each:

1. What technology did they implement?
2. Why did they choose that technology?
3. What business factors were evaluated prior to implementation?
4. What information deficiencies existed prior to implementation?
5. What benefits were gained after implementing the technology?
6. Do the benefits associated with the technology outweigh the costs?

Wherever you land, be sure to explain your thinking and provide goodexamples so your reader can appreciate where you are coming from.
