]]> Today we began working in class on our second project.  I choose to interrogate the interface visme.co a presentation platform.

What I Did Today

I had already started creating an infographic, but switched to a presentation because it will be easier to present.  I outlined my presentation and created the basic slides and headings.  Working with visme.co to create the presentation gave be a better understanding of the platforms affordances and constraints.

Why I Did It

I decided to start working on my presentation, so that I would have it done in time to present.  As I explained above, I additionally decided to use the platform I am interrogating for my presentation to help me understand the website more.

]]> As a follow up to learning about memes last class, we spent today learning about their animated cousin the GIF.  After watching how to make a GIF of Carlton dancing from a Youtube video, I was instructed to create my own.  So, I simply complied as Michelle Tanner would.  I created a short GIF of young Michelle Tanner from Full House saying one of her most famous lines “You got it, dude.”

I used the Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ff6ghp7iTA and simply added “gif” between www. and youtube.com.  Following the prompts I created the GIF below.

Created GIF

Let me know what you think of it!
