2-21-17 Canva V. Lucid Press

I thought lucid press was easier to navigate and use personally. Pros for lucid press are: it was easier to upload my own pictures and they had a wide variety of layouts for each different thing I had to make. Pros of canva are: It had a perfect layout for me and i just had to fill in my own info and I enjoyed the color scheme that was already presented. Cons of lucid press are: it was a little difficult actually figure out how to save my new documents as pictures and some things weren't accessible due to me not having a paid account. Cons for canva: some of my pictures weren't able to be inserted on the document and there weren't as many options as Lucid Press. I think lucid press did the best job of offering trendy, aesthetically appealing documents while it still being a free service! I was able to do pretty much everything I needed to do without paying a cent! Overall, I'm very much leaning towards Lucid Press as my favorite. Lucid Press kills the game! Proud of them.

2-27-17 infographic reflection

Infographics are fun and pretty simple to make! I definitely enjoyed making this more than a power point or prezi because it's more fun to play around with the different options for graphics and it's less word/information heavy. I'd probably use an infographic to spice up a project where power point might really be the norm so it would set my project apart. I used piktochart and has a very easy time navigating my way around how to most effectively make my infographic. I would definitely use this site again if i ever decided to continue down the infographic path.

infographic:

An infographic is a graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends. It's purpose is to display information in a more effective and visually appealing manner. Infographics are typically more pleasant and readable than just a report or document. The information best displayed in an infographic would be statistics. It is very easy to represent stats and numbers with graphs, pie charts, and other graphic devices! Like I said, due to it's visual appeal, an infographic would resonate well with any crowd! People would much rather look at something colorful, interesting and attention grabbing than just a boring ol' word doc! It gets your message across because people will ultimately be more interested. Personally, I'm very passionate about intersectional feminism. So, I might choose to use a word doc depicting statistics of inequality and oppression women face all around the world on a daily basis! This will help raise awareness in a fun, light-hearted way.

2-9-17 Kids These Days!

"Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these these today?! Kids! Who can understand anything they say? Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs! Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loafers! Kids! You can talk and talk 'til your face turns blue. Kids! But they still do just what they want to do. Why can't they be like we were: perfect in every way? What's the matter with kids today?!" - Bye Bye Birdie

This song speaks volumes about the atrocity that is a modern day child! What wrecks! They are selfish and entitled and the generation who raised them to be that way should not take blame whatsoever! Nor should the society that taught them ever standard they know! Millennials are responsible for the ultimate demise of the earth; you know it, I know it, everyone knows it!

2/6/17 Collaborating Remotely

It was challenging, at times, to not be able to communicate face to face with one another. Despite the strife, I think my partner and I really persevered through the struggles and hardships we faced. I can't really imagine doing this a lot because it's pretty difficult especially when you're not able to get in contact with the person through email, phone, etc.
