Hi there!
I had decided to focus on homesteading for my project. This would include:
*Homesteading and its definition/purpose
*Acreage/Zoning/Fencing
*Poultry: Hatchery vs. Chickens
*Beekeeping
*Crops
*Canning
*Profits
However, after viewing some of the Articulate Storyline examples, I am thinking of something that relates to government and my current content:
Election 2016
Crime Scene Investigation
Felonies/Misdemeanors
I think I may work a bit for each for our Articulate Storyline mini-assignments and see where I can be the most creative. According to the constructionism article that means I am following their approach of "learning by making". Instructional/Graphic design is somewhat new to me so I am going to approach it as baptism by fire and jump right in.
I started the Design Basics reading after "completing" my first GIMP file, which was quite the experience. Hopefully some of the things I read can help guide my next photo.
*Unequal spacing- I love this element because visually I don't always like things to "match"
*Associating messages- I like this idea in work but I will have to find something with which to work. Finding a picture and coming up with ideas is a bit of a struggle for me right now.
*Short attention spans- something has to quickly grab my attention or I move on to something else. I hope my work in this class is eye-catching and continually improves.
Many of these design elements seem to be present in infographics which is why I think I find theme so aesthetically pleasing.
