]]> 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.

]]> Today we officially started Project 2.  At the beginning of class, we raced to pick our topics from a list of suggested applications.  After sorting through the sample of applications, I decided to focus my attention on Piktochart, PicMonkey, or Visme.  When Piktochart was chosen, I decided to select Visme as my topic for this project.

Visme is a application that combines information, graphs, and artwork to convey content to an audience.  Visme can create content in a variety of manners specifically focusing on presentation, infographs, animations, and banners.  I was drawn to the multiple applications that this product provides.  The introduction video, shows the versatility of the site and provides an array of creative ideas for sharing content.  I appreciate that Visme acknowledges there are several ways to address and engage with an audience to share content with them.

I’m sure I will be writing more about the platform, but check it out at http://www.visme.co/.
