Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?
I did get my pictures taken yesterday, and I thought the scavenger hunt was different than just normal class sitting at a computer all hour. I think we are going to edit photos and learn how to take long shot and medium shots ect.

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain.

I know how to take a picture and how to edit pictures on an app on my phone. I know that there are different types of cameras and cell phone cameras aren't always the best quality camera. When I take pictures I use my cell phone, or a digital small hand held camera. I own a digital camera that's not my phone but I don't know where it is.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

Over Spring Break I went to Denver to see my dad. We went to the Imagine Dragons concert and it was amazing. It was the best concert I have ever been to. The music was great and we were sitting in a suite so we didn't have to worry about lines for food or drink. We also went to Voodoo doughnuts. Its a bright pink doughnut shop in Colorado. They had really unique names for their doughnuts, and some very inappropriate ones as well. We explored some new Mexican restaurants and I got to meet my knew baby twin neighbors. I watched Frozen for the first time with my three year old neighbor and babysat. We drove home nine hours and it seemed like a thousand. The rest of my spring break was waking up going to swim practice, coming home from practice, eating, sleeping, and watching Law and Order SVU. Swimming wears me out and my sleep cycle is really messed up.

Prepare yourself... I want you to really THINK about this blog post. I mean really use your brain. What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What impact can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

The significance of an infographic is to understand a whole tons of information like in a normal paper and transforming it into something eye catching and colorful that intrigues the reader and makes them want take a moment and read what information is on the inforgraphic. It uses icons, pictures, color and eye catching images to attract readers. They make understanding a whole lot of information easier and quicker. I personally have learned more about some global issues through reading my peers inforgraphics. They are fun and easy for someone to make their own. When information is paired with information it gives the reader a visual so that they can picture what the information is telling them. Readers can get a visual and can understand statistics and little bits of information easier than having to go through and read a whole paper.

Inforgraphic

March 4, 2014

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.

i would chose inforgraphic. Infographics are more fun to create and you can make it your own with color, fonts, and pictures. A paper is boring, and it is harder to make it unique unlike the infographic.
