Reflection: My Campaign Ad

What I got out of the campaign ads was I took the colors; red, white and blue. I had to make it as an American theme and something I want to make with. I decided to make a muffin with fireworks and flag on the background instead of showing people running for president. I thought that it was random that i chose a muffin. I was probably just hungry.
I used Photoshop to make my piece. I wasn't very good at using it but it turned out good. I had some help with it too! The tools I used was I think the stamper, to cover the text in the picture I used. I also Layer Masked it to make the picture blend together.
One picture was with the fireworks and a muffin with a flag I liked put the fireworks in there and it seemed to fit the American theme with the 4th of July when they have fireworks. One had different fireworks it also looked nice with a different kind. The other is just a plain chocolate muffin, I liked because you see more of the deliciousness of the muffin.

Webbies~!!!!!!!

1. I thought that PostSecret was successful because I thought it builds a community. Having people share their secret and out on the public sometimes touches you and it's interesting.
2.I think it was nominated because a lot of people post their secrets and a lot goes in there and checks it out.
3. It's pretty cool because people send out their secret and it comes with pictures and art, which makes it affective.
4. They make a really good connection with the audience because everyone contributes to giving their secrets out and sharing with other people.
5.I guess i would use their site as something i could create art with since they have a lot of that with the secrets they put in.

What is a Blog??- Article Response

1. Something that stood out to me about the article was that you could use blogging to talk about a topic and tell almost anything about what you think. And that you can share whatever with people all over.
2. Jarret says that blogs are published documents, and can be shared with anything about anyone 's comments.
3. I guess blogs are different from a web page because it's a person's comment, and people just go in there and take a look. there's probably not much of a comment that you can put in there.
4. Blogging have to do with empowerment because you can talk about an issue and if there are enough information and facts that defends what you think, it's less likely people will agree to what you think about.
5. Blogging have to do with relationships because you can share and discuss each others beliefs and thoughts about a certain topic.
