Putting together the pieces

After changing my project idea a few times, I am pretty happy with the way the final product should turn out. Within ThingLink the project is looking pretty good, and I’m excited for how the class reacts when I present it. I’m trying to narrow down the links I share within the design so that […]

Friday Work

Today, I inserted my graphic into ThingLink, and began working to insert actual interactive content into the piece. I’m having a little bit of a hard time, because the graphic is so large and the interactive software will only zoom into the middle of it, but I’m sure I can still get it to work. […]

Revision Plan

I couldn’t get any of the websites to work without paying, so I decided to use Powerpoint to present my information in a storyboard format. Today, I just added photos to the storyboard. I want to be sure to include and introduce all of the main characters from the movie in the storyboard in a […]
