Revision Plan

Here is the link for my rough cut: http://etherealariel.weebly.com/ (I’ll probably do some work on it today or tomorrow, though, so it could be updated by the time you look at it!) Both of my partners provided really good feedback. Trent suggested switching my menus to have the “Who Am I” menu appear above “The Story.” This […]

More Work on Project 4

Emily — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 15:56:25 +0000

“The What” for Project 4

Emily — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:02:08 +0000

The Story I’ve chosen to do Project 4 on the Hans Christian Andersen (original) version of The Little Mermaid. I will be focusing on the whole story, as it’s a fairytale and not terribly long. The Remix I want to tell the story from the point of view of Ariel if she were dead (because she […]

Overview of Project 4

Emily — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 15:54:49 +0000

What Makes A Good Remix A good remix keeps most of the qualities of the original story, and incorporates them into very unique and visual projects. The remixes aren’t too long – I was interested in most of them for the duration of the presentation. Good remixes also add very unique details to the stories […]

Why I Found It Interesting I found Fetchnotes interesting because I’m an avid notetaker and this seemed like a good way to stay organized. It seemed pretty simple to use and I think I would enjoy the Twitter-esque layout. How […]
