For my final mashup assignment this week I decided to do another 5 star assignment.

A couple ideas come to mind for a potential last mission…
One idea that I have is that our secret …

Like usual we had to participate in three daily creates this week. However, that being said we then needed to find a way to connect them together. The three creates I did were; heart transplant, top trumps, and secret agent selfie.
If someone were to receive my heart they'd be …
This week we were asked to revise one 3, 4, or 5 star assignment we have created in a previous week. Once picked we needed to revise, improve, or remix it in so way shape or form.
With that I spent some time looking back at all of the assignments …
