Image Visualization 1st blog

~First Week~

During the first week of our last mission for this semester in Intro Digital Media, we were given a theme called “methodology”. I find the theme choices really challenging because they are not the same as the first two projects where it was straightforward and relatable. It also took me a lot of time to decide which one I am going to do because they are all very specific topics.

However, I decided to choose the topic called Image visualization as it is the closest thing to my interest. I also paired up with two people from different groups such as, Vince from group 3 and Rob from group 2. I think this project will be challenging for me because we must create a video presentation which I am not very good at and I don’t have much of experience. Working with other people from different groups would also be challenging because we must find a day where the three of us are free to work together. I hope everything will be okay and we will get through this mission.

The more I learn about image visualization the more interesting it gets. While I was reading the information about this topic, I realized that there are so many different types of visualization such as the bar-code and film visualization. There was also an example about face visualization called Selfiecity where they create a series of selfie styles in different countries. I find it interesting, so I decided to create my images of two famous actors and actresses which is Margot Robbie and Robert Downey Jr. Vince decided to do his visual creativity images about famous locations in Dublin.

Me and Vince were also struggling on looking for our last group member because we couldn’t find anyone who wants to do this mission that we haven’t work with. Luckily, we were able to find another member which is Rob from group two before the first week ends. He decided to do his images about famous movie scenes.

Reflection in Blogging Presentation

~Reflection~

We did our blogging presentation yesterday for Introduction to Digital Media. Overall, we were happy with the outcome as we presented well, and we really did our best. I was also happy with our presentation because I achieve the goals that I wanted to acquire such as being more confident and comfortable talking in front of our class.

Working with my friends was handy because we are always together so we have more time to discuss our work and it was easy for us to communicate. It also helped us to avoid any misunderstanding as we already know each before the presentation. What I also like working for this mission is that everything was easy for me to do because I know what I’m doing, and I really want to share my passion to everyone.

Doing blogging for the mission was a really good experience for me because I get to share my hobbies and experiences to other students. I also learned a lot of new skills while I was doing this presentation for three weeks and I used those skills for my main blogs for college works and because of this I became more comfortable writing and designing my own blogs.

I also hope that our blogs inspired other students to start their own blog-site or just even gets inspired by our own stories and idea.

I also want to reflect on myself. During my first mission, I feel like I didn’t have more time to do my project. So, I decided to improve my time management in this presentation which I feel like I accomplished it. I also think that I put more effort on this mission more than the last the last one because I feel more confident and I also have an idea already on how to show my work that’s why I find it quick to do to my blog. I also love working with my group because all of us got to say our opinions and advice and I feel like I wasn’t the only one working hard for this mission. If I would given the opportunity to work with them again, I would gladly accept it.

I hope you guys like my blog for this mission! 

Blogging Presentation part 2

~Second Week~

There is a little bit of a problem because I am having trouble finding a good blog-site as some of them needs payments in order for me to use them and some are just too difficult to use such as Weebly. I was using it for two days trying to be familiar with its templates and layouts, but the instructions weren't clear enough for me. I hope I will be able to find a good blog-site tomorrow as we only have this week to get everything done.

Luckily, I was able to find a good blog-site called Square Space. This is one of the easiest sites that I have ever used throughout this project because both of its tutorial and layout was easy to understand and to get used to. Square Space also have some good templates that you can use, and it is also convenient for bloggers because you can also create multiple blogs with different ideas for example, business blog-site or just for your hobbies.

 

During our second week, we started to complete our slideshow by putting all the research information about the history of blogging and we also explore about famous bloggers. We decided to put famous bloggers in the presentation because we were interested to see how bloggers became famous by doing what they are passionate about and because my blog is also about my hobbies, it really inspired and helped me a lot on what to talk about.

We all agreed to split some of the task for the slideshow to finish it faster which was a good idea because it really shows that all of us are working together till the end. It is also going to be handy for us if we finish the slideshow earlier this week, so we have more time to edit our blog-site.

I started my blog by introducing myself and I talked about how I started to love art and who influenced me to draw throughout years. I also decided to create two separate parts for my drawing and photography images to have a clear and neat blogsite, so everyone won’t have difficulty when they visit it.

Me and my group meet up throughout the week to work together and to also talk about how we are doing for the presentation. Communicating with them every week was very convenient because we get to give each other feedback in we are having trouble doing our task.
