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.
Thanks for sharing your project ideas. I absolutely agree with you that the assignment and project in this class could be regarded as the use of learning by doing approach. And we expect you can build the connection between the knowledge you acquire from this class and the thing you have been interested. I would like to add some comments on the “associating messages” you pointed out. You are so right at finding a picture and coming up with ideas are difficult. But, if I have some ideas and just need to find a picture. Here is what I have been doing. I go to Google.com and type in keywords like Homesteading. Then, I search the keyword by “image” and I can some picture relevant to “Homesteading”. Perhaps you already know that. But, I am just sharing and hope you may like it. Thanks
