IPhoto Project Review

 
1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting.

 

2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?

Swing side view, stone archways, window, dining candle, twisted slide, and several others. The reason I searched these is because I thought out what I wanted to use for each letter and then I would search things that would work as that letter.

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I learned how to use IPhoto to make a slideshow, and I used my photoshop skills to resize and touch up some images.

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.

If I went on a vacation somewhere and I wanted to show everyone my pictures when I came back, all I would need to do is put them together and add a song and its done.

5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?

I definetly enjoyed this a lot more then the cut and dry ones because it lets people show their personalities and interests.

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?

I cropped a lot of images and did some touch ups on others to transform them into something different than the original product.

Charity Letter

For tech apps, I had to write a business charity letter and merge it with a contact list from excel so here's the followup questions on it.

1. Take a screenshot of your charity letter and add it as a picture to your blog posting.

2. List the name of your business and its charity.
My business was Caterpillar and it's charity was the YWCA.

3. How did you get the audience’s attention in the first paragraph?

My approach to getting the audience's attention was to come straight out and state the facts and tell them what I'm asking from them.

4. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I learned how to use Microsoft Excel a little bit better, and most importantly, I learned how to merge business letters with contact lists.

5. What was the easiest part of this project? What was the most difficult part of this project?
The easiest part of this project was probably making my contact list. The hardest part was coming up with a charity and writing the letter.

6. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation other than writing a charity letter.
 If I'm ever working for a business and I need to send out a letter to several people, this is a quick easy way to address them all at once instead of making a document for each person. Another case would maybe be if I'm inviting people to a gathering for a birthday or something, and I want to make each letter addressed to each guest, all I have to do is merge them and I'm done.

7. Did you learn something new during this project that you did not know before?  If so, what? 
Yes, I learned how to merge letters and how to change the template on Excel so it's in an address book format.

M&M Chart

Here's my M&M comparison chart that I made in tech apps.

About Me

I would like to learn how to use PhotoShop and other programs that I've never opened and are currently taking up space on my mac. I think that communicating with me about grades is best done through email

I think this picture represents me because I like ties and I have a lot of them in my locker.
