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?

     Yes. I took about 15 pictures with my partner, Maupin. It was pretty fun running around the halls taking pictures. I think we just need a variety a photos to edit and mess around with. But I didn't what some of the terminology meant like "canted."

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 don't know jack about photography. I have never really been into taking pictures, I rather just live in the moment. When I do take pictures I use my phone because it has a pretty good camera. I think it's a waste of money to buy an expensive digital camera when I can use my phone.

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!

    Spring break 2014 was great. I got to go to British Virgin Islands in the Carribean with my family. We stayed at the Marriot Resort it was really nice. The food was delicious, we had the all inclusive meal plan so I was able to eat as much food as I could handle. My brother and I made a lot of sandcastles. Then, me, my brother, and my dad went on an island tour and saw a fort.

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.

     An infographic combines information with images in an interesting way. People are not robots they want to see things. The graphics help engage a person like a cover to a book or a movie poster. When there are pictures along with words it helps the reader better understand the data and facts in front of them. If you have a picture to draw a reader in it keeps them engaged. Pictures also can change their attitudes when the see a picture like a dying child in Africa.

Infographic

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

            I would rather write a paper because it requires creativity just cold, hard facts. I was not blessed the creative gene that went to my sister, so I write papers when I have the choice. Also Piktochart is a pain because I have never used it before.
