Almost Two Months

It is when people say to cherish every moment with your child, because they grow up so quickly. My sweet little Mason, is now my sweet big Mason. Watching him grow these past (almost) two months has been nothing but amazing.

Course Reflection

This class has been so much fun; and was by far the most enjoyable class I had this semester. My knowledge about digital media has expanded a lot over this entire course. I learned multiple new online digital media websites to create my own works of art that I am sure to use some of them again. Some of the websites I plan on using after this class is Pixlr Express, Flame, and Tagxedo. Pixlr Express was very easy to use and I loved the fact that it was completely free, yet still had several editing options. Flame was just very neat and I enjoyed playing around with it; would love to take more time on the website and really learn how to use all the features. Finally, Tagxedo was also one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of word art and 'word clouds'. Some day I would like to create one and have it printed and framed for my sons room.
Something I improved on was my knowledge about creating and putting and video together on Windows Movie Maker and adding my own music to it. I found it rather enjoyable and was happy with the outcome of the video mashup I made. It was also really neat to learn because my brother makes and creates a ton of video/movies at BGSU... so it was neat to see part of what he does to create those films.
As far as my future career goals, I have not yet determined what I want to do with my communications degree; but I am sure several of these assignments will be great to know how to do and they all really helped expand my knowledge on how to create pieces of art and how to make them appealing to the eyes.
Overall, I really enjoyed this class and kind of getting to know the students in it. I hope one of my classes next semester is this much fun.
