]]> While looking at the four websites that interrogated an interface, I learned many things that I did and did not want to do for my own creation. Below, you can see what I’ve decided:

Yay

On my interrogation, I want to include navigation tools to help my audience read through my essay easily. I want to include hyperlinks so that there are multiple ways to figure out what I’m talking about and to provide extra assistance. I also really want to include my own experience with Masher on the page so the audience can see what I did with it and refer to it as they’re trying to figure out the application as well. It’s also important to include some contrast so the essay isn’t completely boring and deters my audience from reading my essay. I can do so through the use of color, headings & subheadings, bullet points and images.

Nay

I really don’t want to write huge blocks of text because it’s not easy to read. I also want to avoid overusing pages and images so that the whole document becomes confusing and distracting.

]]> I chose to work with Masher because I like to work with pictures and put them into videos. It was my third option, but I think it’ll be a lot of fun to work with because of the multimedia aspect it has.

In a nutshell, Masher is a free tool that you can sign in using your Facebook or you can create an account. According to the website, Masher allows you to “Mix your photos, music, text and special effects to create professional looking videos in minutes.”

Masher will be a great tool for me to learn how to use because I can create videos and make them look professional which will be useful in the future if I ever need to do that for work.
