Assignment (3 stars) This was one of my original assignments, and is one of the assignments that I plan to incorporate into my final project.

Well it has been an interesting endeavor to say the least.  After frustrating myself trying to learn how to do something new, I took the advise of a fellow classmate who commented that I should look back at what I had already done and build from there.  That was very helpful and my story idea developed … Continue reading Week Fifteen Summary

Since I really appreciated when I found an assignment with a tutorial I have included one for each of my assignment ideas. Edit a magazine cover in a fun and interesting way. Cerate a comic strip using an online software program. Hope these are helpful to someone else.

Making a comic strip using an online software can be fun, but challenging.  I made one using bitstrips.com.  Here’s how I did it: Choose create strip, select the number of panels layout, then using the tabs across the top of the screen to chose a scene first.  I selected a three panel strip and inserted a … Continue reading Second Tutorial Idea

  I wanted to do this one because it was one of the first assignments I did for the class, and it didn’t turn out great.  I hadn’t learned paint.NET yet, so I did it in ms paint.  Looking back it seems like such an easy assignment, and I think it would have been a … Continue reading Mocking Up A Newsweek Cover (VisualTutorials737)

I chose this assignment because in looking at the instructions, it seemed a bit rigid, so I wanted to offer some alternatives.  I like the idea of several versions of yourself sitting in an office interviewing each other, but why can’t they be in space?  Or on vacation?  I took three different generations of myself … Continue reading How To: Multiply Thyself (VisualTutorials943)

I spent all day yesterday trying to find some software that would allow me to do something different for the final project.  It was a big waste of time.  I spent all day signing up to use software that I could not figure out how to navigate only to have my mailbox fill up with marketing … Continue reading Final Project Idea

Trapped, I struggled to learn how I might…reach out again to this world. I have taken the liberty of…recreating one such attempt. As you may […]

Well so far I see four people have posted ideas for their Final Projects.  So I gave them each a shout out but since they seem to know what they want to do for their project I didn’t have any advice for them. I have been struggling this week to figure out what to do. … Continue reading Week 13 Summary
