FDR and JFK Were Around Then?

Visual Assignment 2! This one was great. Just the assignment itself was hilarious because i love both historical figures and disasters. What mostly attracted me this assignment was the whole idea of cropping. I get the hang of cropping when i completed the “Me and Bae” assignment where i cropped …

Mirror Mirror

Ah, GIMP, we meet again. For my first visual assignment, i wanted to parallels because that was one of the things we discussed in the live tweeting which i blogged about here. The visual assignment was created by the man himself, Groom. The basic idea of this assignment was …

I had seen the episode before, which helped tremendously in following the story, but without sound I would’ve wandered away from the story.  The live tweeting …

For the Journey to Somewhere visual assignment, I decided to get nostalgic, and tell the story of the study abroad trip I took this summer. The assignment said to use Google presentation, but I decided to use Knightlab’s Storymaps. I had used this website for a previous project and …
