and it went like this:

Liz wants to do her final project as a series of illustrations with several animations for a short story that she is writing for another class. We talked about different styles of illustrations that she could do – comic books, animated .GIFs, straight edge, etc. I suggested that it would be ideal to post her actual story online so that her illustrations would come more alive. I suggested possibly using a template that looks like a book turning pages, however I told her that I don’t know if one exists outside of flash. 

then we moved on to…

My project. I told Liz that I want to do a series of vintage instructional videos titled “so you want to be a barista?” The videos would be comical looks at making beverages and the process behind being a barista. She suggested that if that was too much of an undertaking that I could just make a series of ani.GIFs like my Making the Rosetta post. I actually really like her idea because making the .GIFs would use video recording, editing and photoshop. I could also do one funny instructional video about making the perfect milk/espresso which is necessary for making latte art then create .GIFs of my best latte art. Great great suggestions.
