What I Did: I completed working on project 4. I edited all of the pictures I needed to edit and the website looks great!

More Work on Project 4

What I Did: I went in and edited some of the text in the images. I also re-sized the images so that they all somewhat matched. In addition, I created a few more memes to make the project complete.

Why I Did It: I edited the text so that it was more clear to the reader, I re-sized them for design consistency, and I added more memes because I wanted the website to look more full. I’m very proud of my end product.

Revision Plan

For my revision plan, I am going to re-edit some of the text in the photos that I have created to make them more legible. I’m also going to create a few more meme’s to make my site look complete. Here is the link to what I have for my project so far https://sbgameofthrones.wordpress.com/. I am almost done with this assignment and can’t wait to show the class my finished product.

Project 4 Continued

What I Did: Over the past week, I have begun to edit my photos that I am going to use for my project on picmonkey.com. I’m pretty happy with the results i’ve been getting.

Why I Did it: I used this tool because I am comfortable using it from the first project and I think it has exactly what I need to make this project work.

Mock-Up

What I Did: I finished my mock-up outline of my project and added most of the images and captions I am going to use for the final version.

Why I Did it: I did this so I could get a feel for how the layout of the webpage will look.

Here is what I have so far:

Project 4

sarahbvt — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 14:18:00 +0000

What I Did: I started thinking about ideas for the caption of my photos and started selecting a few photos that I’m going to use for my post secret project.

Why I Did It: I began this process because I wanted to make sure I was able to come up with creative enough captions, which luckily it all worked out and I think my project will turn out better than I had imagined.

My timeline:

Project 4 Ideas

sarahbvt — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:38:00 +0000

The story I am proposing to use for the project 4 assignment is Game of Thrones. It’s a show I am very into and I think it has rich material I could draw on to make for an interesting remixed story. I would focus on the main highlights of what has happened in the story overall, not just one portion of the story. I either want to remix the story as a Post Secret or an Emoji story. Here are some references I will use as I’m working on my project: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Game_of_Thrones_Wiki, http://postsecret.com/, and http://www.popsugar.com/tech/Funny-Emoji-Texts-35465201#photo-35465201.

Exploring Remix Examples

What makes a good remix: Ingenuity, creativity, and usage of new media can really make remixed stories successful.

What makes a good digital story: Incorporating images with texts seems to be the key to making a good digital story.

Stories I am considering: Mulan, Cinderalla, or Game of Thrones.

Based off today’s presentations, Thematic was my favorite tool that I saw. I found it very interesting because I am really into photography, so it’s right up my alley. I take a lot of pictures when I travel, so I would definitely use this tool to tell the story of one of my trips through images.
