Assignment #2: Image Assignment

Example #1: PhotoFunia

I used PhotoFunia for my first example. My image came from a photo I had taken while in Washington DC. This is called the Three Colours and I used this to show how an image can be used in a setting such as an art museum. I did not add any special effects to my images.







Example #2: Fun Photo Box

I used a second website call Fun Photo Box, which is very similar to Photofunia. I selected this layout because I liked the old-age look and the other objects in this image. My image came from photobooth on my computer.








Example #3: Yearbook Yourself

This image was developed using Yearbook Yourself. This website allows you to upload your image and put your face into a yearbook picture from any year you select. I selected 1992 for my sample. I picked this year because I thought the hair was outrageous! It is hard for me to imagine myself looking like this! I really enjoyed this website and will go back to play with it again I am sure!

Assignment #1: Three of my Favorite Websites

1. http://www.groupon.com/

This website I use for finding great deals for our family! I bought a yearly family membership for Reiman Gardens in Ames for 60% off! I've also used this site for gifts (massages, dinners, movies, etc.) for family and friends.

2. www.facebook.com

I am a facebook user! I use this to stay connected to friends and family. I also like to post pictures to share and play some games on facebook. Facebook is now also used as a professional venue for organizations like National Business Education Association and the Iowa Business Education Association.

3. http://www.go2web20.net/

I use this website ALOT to explore new web 2.0 tools for my multimedia class, computer apps class, and desktop publishing/web page design classes. I can usually find something new on there each time I go and explore!
