The New Downtown: How 15 Seconds and 20 Years Changed Downtown Santa Cruz.
by Elizabeth Shemaria
This multimedia package was published with the Santa Cruz Sentinel as part of their online coverage of the 20-year anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. A story was also written about this project.

This look at how downtown Santa Cruz, California changed after the Loma Prieta Earthquake was reported and produced by me over five months, as a master’s thesis project. Specific skills I used:
• Audio, video, photo and print reporting.
• Editing and production of all text, photos, videos and audio slideshows.
• Coded the entire Web site in Flash AS2.
• Graphic design in Illustrator.
