My final project will be based on the topic I discussed this week during my MOS interviews: the tanning tax. In July 2010, a 10% tax on indoor tanning beds went into effect. Ever since, the Beach Tanning Centers in College Park has lost a significant amount of customers. Owner Scott Magnus was forced to lower his prices in order to draw in more customers. To make matters worse, many of the new apartment buildings in College Park have installed indoor tanning beds for their tenants to use for free.
For my project, I plan on interviewing Magnus, as well as some of his employees, about how the tax and the installment of indoor tanning beds have impacted the business. I also plan on interviewing some of the salon's clients about their opinions on the tax. I will construct graphics using FDA's literature regarding the implementation of the tax. As a former intern of FDA, I will try to conduct an interview with an official. This will be majority of a video project, but I will use some audio recordings from my MOS interviews. I will try to incorporate some pictures as much as I can.
