Week 8

I am not actually familiar with many multimedia tools. This class has been full of new and completely different modes for me. I decided to try an take a different approach for this blog post then since I don't have anything particularly helpful to add to the repertoire of multimedia methods. Instead, I tried to think of what I do in my life that represents multimedia. I started with the concept of photoshop since I work with images much more often then I work with audio. Something that I am constantly looking at and occasionally posting to is instagram. This is a form of social media that ties together images, text and even video sometimes.

Within instagram, what I like to do is create collages of multiple photos, possibly add a filter and mess around with the look of the image and then add a caption that captures the concept of the collage. Some people also choose to use hashtags to emphasize their feelings about the picture that they have just posted. Its a way of sharing photos with your friends though multimedia.

  1. I thought this was a really neat, creative twist on the blog assignment. Instagram is a great example of how multimedia is used on a daily basis. Plus, the picture of the dog is really cute :)

  2. Cool idea for the blog! I use Instagram and Facebook so much that sometimes I totally forget that's multimedia. But nice pictures!
