Week Five

Right now we are working on the photoshop project. I have spent the week trying to think of what my theme will be to tie my photos together. It wasn't until I started working on my Tagxedo image that I figured out what my theme was. I lost my grandpa this year, just a couple months ago, and I was out of the country when it happened. I didn't get the chance to go to his memorial with the rest of my family since I was still in Argentina, so I never had a chance to celebrate him properly. I feel like this project gives me the perfect opportunity to finally celebrate him. I had already made a "c" with my letter photo completely randomly and luckily that will be easy to apply to this theme. His last name was "Casby" and that is my middle name so it represents how we are related. Then for my meme I can either do something about baseball or sailboats because those were his two passions. I decided on my theme when I realized that I could use taxgedo to turn all of the words that I think of when I think of my grandpa into the shape of a sailboat. I think that Tagxedo is such a cool program. I didn't even know that it existed before this class so it is another great example of a great tool that this class introduced me to. I am very excited to keep working on this project.
