10/13/14 – Project 2 Presentations

I thought that today’s presentations covered a really interesting range of tools. The ones I was most drawn to were Creativisit and PicMonkey. I think those would be good options for me to look into using for my Project 3.  I was drawn to PicMonkey because, while I enjoy using photo editing software like Photoshop, […]

Project 2 Presentations Day 1

Maddi G’s presentation on Comic Master really intrigued me, and I think it’s the interface I would like to explore further.  I’d never really come across a website that allowed you to design a comic series before, and the site seems pretty straightforward and easy to use.  It’d be a good tool for an extremely […]

Monday, October 13th

I really like 750 words. It seems like an effective and user-friendly brain jogger. I might use it to jump start my writing if I ever entered a period of intense writing (as in trying to finish a long document). I liked the simplicity and I think it could be useful for clearing your brain […]

Creativist

I found this interface the most interesting. I think if utilized well in a presentation setting, it can really be useful in presenting in a creative way. I really enjoyed Jenna’s presentation and curious to learn more about this interface. I found it useful in the way you could create a slideshow on one of […]

Tools of Today: 10/13

Out of all the tools I saw presented today, I think SoundCloud would be the most applicable in my life. I have so many friends that use it and I’ve definitely downloaded files from the site before but I’ve never really gotten into it or understood the range of capabilities the site has to offer. […]

Blog Post for October 13

In class today, we started presenting the interfaces that we have been working on. I presented in the middle of class.  My presentation did not go as well as I was hoping.  The Visme presentation did not fit on the projection screen.  I did not say all the notes that I had on my notecards […]

Project 2 Presentations: Day 1

My favorite application was definitely 750 Words. I’m always happier when I make time to journal, but I’m pretty terrible at maintaining the habit. This site helps to solve that problem by creating a minimum and recognizing the user for doing it every day. The rewards may not mean anything, but they come with a […]

PicMonkey

From the presentation in class today, I decided that I think PicMonkey is something I would be interested in learning more about. The presentation outlined some major benefits of bringing your own photos into PicMonkey. I love working with photos (Instagram is my favorite social media app) and I think that being able to do […]

Application Review: 750 Words

What it is: It is a journal-keeping application that allows you to have a private journal with online submissions. Why it’s interesting: It is interesting because it is a reward-based journal keeping system that makes it easy to save and upload daily journal writings. The different ways that you can earn rewards, such as doing […]

Final Touches on Project 2

What I did: Today I added on to my blog more about the affordances and constraints of the site that I am using, Easelly. I also started on the PowerPoint for my project because I want to make sure that my presentation to the class is very organized and thorough. Why I did it: I […]
