Power Point

A lot has changed in Power Point since the last time I used it, or maybe it was because I was using a mac...either way, I had to rethink my strategies. My problems with making the Power Point was that I didn't know how to customize each page so that they could have a different look, so they all have the same style. I did manage to make variations but they're still basically the same.

I feel as though I didn't display enough work from Computers which I thought of as the highlight of the presentation. It makes sense though, because I've gone to high school for four years and have only been at Tyler for a semester.

I'm really excited to see everyone's work and for people to see my work. It will be interesting.

Routine Book

As far as my book is concerned, I'm initially pleased with myself that I worked through the process of actually making it a reality, getting the materials and the money and the images (I had misplaced my flash drive). Seeing the final product pleased me though. It had the look that I was going for, and enough information to show the viewer that this was a real study.

If I could do anything differently, I would probably have a little better quality pictures for all of them because for some I didn't figure out until late on how to get a better quality print. There were also some inconsistencies just due to the lack of materials.

The piece itself is an exploration of coins and displaying their beauty as artifacts, sculptures, and little windows to history and experiences. My materials were chosen to enhance that goal. Overall, I think it worked out nicely
