Final Project

Memes - The Visual Language of the Web


Safari:


Individual: 

I found making memes to be interesting. I didn't find it difficult at all and thought it was quite entertaining. I used makememe.org which I liked because it was easy to learn.


Infographics - Do They Help Explain Complex Concepts?

Safari:

Individual:

I found making the infographic to be my favorite. I really enjoyed using Piktochart and I really like how we got to choose the topic of our choice; it made it more enjoyable. I found out who the has the most World Series since 1950 which was cool to me because I never really thought to look it up before.

Animated Gifs





At first I was so excited to find out we were making gifs but wow.... I don't want to say it but I will.... I disliked making my gif. It was close to the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I didn't use Gimp, I used gifmaker. I spent so much time on time on it and I still feel as if it's not right. I don't see myself making anymore gifs in the future but I definitely want to take the time to learn more about them.

Typography and University Branding



Safari: 

Individual:


Making the Lower Thirds Branding definitely took some time for me. I was still getting used to Gimp and how everything worked. I was very frustrated at first but then when I got the hang of it, it was actually pretty easy. I highly enjoyed the project and getting used to Gimp more.


Video Portfolio





Making my Powtoon was my 2nd favorite project of the class! I really enjoyed figuring out how everything worked and once I figured it out, I didn't want to stop. I was very comfortable with using the website and I will definitely use it in the future when needed!



Altogether, I learned A LOT! I didn't even know half of the information I had to use before this class. I will definitely take what I learned and apply it to what I need in the future. It's nice being able to know how to make infographics, memes, gifs, etc. Using Gimp definitely helped me learn a lot. I would like to get more used to it because I can see myself using it in the future!
