Creativity: Update 1

In today's class of Introduction to Digital Media we were given our first project which we must complete over the coming weeks. We had to create an animated GIF and present it in a PowerPoint presentation as part of a group project. At first, I was horrified at the idea of doing a presentation as I am not great when it comes to speaking in public, as I can sometimes get extremely nervous.


When it came to be finding the best people to work with, I was lucky as they were individuals that I've already become good friends with. Ron and Cian are very nice people and I know I can rely on them to get this project done the right way. Since we decided to go with an animated GIF for a project, I decided to take it upon myself to create a group page using WhatsApp. I felt this would be a great way of communicating since this is something, we have been using to keep in touch with others in our creative development class. This way we would be able to keep up to date with any ideas that might help develop this project.


We also arranged to meet up regularly during our free lab classes in Introduction to Digital Media. For this project we decided to focus on different aspects of animated gifs as we wanted to develop our own personal interests and add them into this presentation. I wanted to develop how animated GIFs are used in photography as this was something, I had an interest in myself and I wanted to learn more about this medium. Ron had a deep interest in Pop Culture, and he wanted to add a section on this in the presentation. Cian also wanted to develop an animated gif on his own personal interests of music. Planning the project this way was great as we were able to cover a lot of different sections about animated gifs. which was quite interesting and fun to do because we had a personal interest in this project.

Culture: Update 1

No sooner finishing the first assignment on creativity we ended up starting a new project on culture. This assignment came a little too quick in my opinion. Although, after reading the description of what we would be doing it seemed to have better topics compared to the first project. We had the option to choose from 12 new topics which had a lot of interesting elements to them. The two subjects that piqued my interest was YouTubeing and blogging. After further research on these two topics I felt blogging would be the better options as you're not limited in what you could do with this medium. This was great because I had two other friends named Keith and Wiktoria who were also interested in developing blogging as part of the project. This was great as I didn't have to run around looking for people to join a group. After we had formed our group, we decided on writing down a couple of ideas into a notebook. During our Introduction to Digital Media class we worked on furt...

Culture: Update 3

Looking back on what I've learnt from this assignment, I feel a lot more confident when it comes to presenting a PowerPoint presentation in front of people compared to the last assignment. I really think we all did a great job in our group and because of this it really shows in our blogging website. The time and effort we spent developing this project and meeting up to add more information into it was one of the best experiences I have had working on a group project. I really liked working with a good group of people that felt the same way I did about this project which really made this feel like a labour of Love. I hope we can find the time to continue developing this blog down the line. The only thing that I think we fell short on with the PowerPoint presentation was the fact we focused too much on discussing the concept instead of going through the process of making the blogging website and not the challenges we faced. We did create a nice-looking PowerPoint presentati...
