Student Showcase | Big Picture Living

Where to Begin

Big Picture Living builds on the tremendous work Big Picture Learning students are already doing around lifestyle and well-being. This page will help spotlight student work to recognize their transformational impact, inspire others in their efforts - and prove to the world what is possible. Here you will find student projects around the six measures.

Social Media & Creative Projects

Rileigh Addington

Instagram Campaign

"When creating these I was trying to come up with a simple way to showcase each measurement, without making it seem overwhelming or too much to accomplish. I also added some positive side effects of the measures so people knew the benefits of each."

Angel Feliz

Poster

"While designing this I was thinking about its usability. Making it accessible for both social media but also, so it can become a poster if needed. People don't usually stop to read something with a lot of words on it, so creating a hook would catch someone's attention then lead them to want to learn more through the QR code. "

Sasha McCloud

Informational Drawing

“This drawing shows the effects of sleep deprivation - 6 hours or less. When you don’t sleep, it is harder to retain memories, you will get more irritated and have mood swings, and you are more at risk for heart attack or stroke.”

Timmya Howse

Benjamin Johnson

Script for a IG Series

"I could see this miniseries on Instagram mostly talking about latest news on eating healthy or could just be helpful tips on how to eat healthy. I hope this helps and if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer any of them."

Big Picture Living App

Big Picture Learning is in development of a mobile app for students. Working in conjunction with the Big Picture Living website, the app will provide an easy way for students to:

SELF-ASSESS & MANAGE their own lifestyle choices, and to build individual and group work with their schools and communities using research-based information from trusted sources such as The American College of Lifestyle Medicine

SHARE and post information of their learning and work around lifestyle and well-being

RESEARCH by gathering personal, school, and community data to drive community advocacy and policy change

CO-DESIGN and help management of the website and mobile app, including the development of social media tools that allow students to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate with professionals, communities, and one another

The service will be aligned with BPL’s other platforms—ImBlaze and Alumni Tool Kit—allowing students to learn about and pursue internships in the medical, healthcare, and wellness sectors and allow students and their advisors to collect post-high school graduation data that informs their healthy lifestyles.
