What I Did: I continued to work on my project throughout the break. I decided to pick Prezi as the outlet for how I share my work to the class. I have a newspaper set up for the Prezi and I am incorporating a newspaper type of feel to the project. Why I Did It: […]

What I’ve Accomplished – 12/1

I’ve come a long way since starting this project. All of the illustrations have been re-created for the story in Photoshop. It is set in NYC at the Bronx Zoo and numerous places around the city. I just have to upload these images into iMovie and do an audio layover for the story. It’s essentially an […]

Blog Post – 11/21

What I Did So over break, it was pretty hectic for me. I was choosing a different direction and stressing out. I created a script for Max set in Central Park (NYC) and the other one was at the Bronx Zoo. I really liked both and went back forth until I finally chose one. I […]

Blog Post for December 1, 2014

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! Since our class last met, I have worked lots on my third project! I recruited my friends at Virginia Tech to share images of their food with me during the week of class before break.  I began editing the images for Instagram and uploaded about three dozen post while I […]

December 1, 2014: What I Did and Why

Monday, December 1st

Today I created a document that will help contextualize the information for the final product. I have about two more pages to create before I’m completely done.

Why must my files be so big?!

What I Did I waited on the rainbow wheel a LOT (my files are giant, so I think that I’m frustrating the computer). On a more productive note, I set up the layout for one spread and got about halfway through a second in InDesign. This entailed selecting a background color and inserting placeholder text […]

Project #3 – Update 12/1

What I Did Today I spent my class time writing my reflection memo. It was fairly easy to come up with the content, but I was very thorough in my memo, so it took the whole class. I loaded my presentation and examined it as I wrote my memo to ensure that I did not […]

In Class Work

Today I mostly worked on getting the images I plan to use for each character’s Facebook profile picture.  This was kind of a tedious process, because I decided to do this part last.  This involved just looking up scenes from the movie on Google Images and saving the images of the characters as a jpeg […]
