WOW! This project was overwhelming to say the least. I haven't ever felt this frustrated when doing anything and the times I was having fun disappeared all too quickly. Throughout all the struggle I did gain valuable knowledge about what I am able to use in regard to images and how hard it is to find relevant material for topics such as these. Through the help of Dr. Asher from the library I found some images from artstor that were gone the next time I tried to copy them and the little issues kept coming after that. I had a sweet musical rhythm set up that I couldn't find after trying to acquire sound with my slide show. Because of my lacking knowledge I'm going to give this a second shot and use the slide show program with one of my friends' class presentations to try to enhance it. He has some images trying to promote a company and I mentioned briefly what I was doing so now he thinks I'm an expert. Inside I'm laughing hysterically, but of course I kept nodding in agreement.
This project definitely stretched the boundaries, but now I see the value behind websites like these. If I ever need to use items/images avoiding copyright in other classes I will know where to search. I was hoping to get more creative with my mash-up, but wanted this project to get over with due to lack of original knowledge and not feeling like I enhanced the professor's work. I hate it when I know what I need to accomplish and how to get there, but small things derail me and keep me at square one.
