In the library session<\/strong>, I realized that I ran into some problems with my plan to make a billboard. In my last post, I described the purpose of my billboard which was to be a translation of my researched paper into a multimodal form. Problems arose because I am not tech savvy in the slightest.<\/p>\n

My initial attempt was to make a project that could be easy to make. Which for me meant that I try my hardest to ensure that my project created with as little technology was possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In class, I found out that my plan to tape and cut out printed images onto a poster-board would not look clean– or good for that matter. I faced the inevitable… I was to use the dreaded technology. For some perspective, even the idea of making blogs was scary to me because anything on the computer, I hate.<\/p>\n

Then I got some help by the Camtasia instructor to help me with Photoshop. My plan was to put two images on one screen with a background; easy enough?<\/p>\n

Then, the instructors face was as puzzled as mine when I described the objective. She looked at me with doubtful eyes and said, “Yeah, Photoshop isn’t my expertise.” My hopes of making a billboard model online were fleeting. She continued “I don’t know how to use this at all.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a few minutes of mindlessly clicking buttons with me, the instructor excused herself and onward I trekked into the unknown world of Photoshop.<\/strong>\u00a0I cut out a photo online, made “layers”, fought with the vertical vs horizontal orientation and so on.<\/p>\n

But to my surprise, after the thirty minutes that felt like a lifetime, I made a billboard ON PHOTOSHOP.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although, there is no way that I could retrace my steps in doing so, but I did it. In the mean time, h<\/strong>old the applause <\/strong>because\u00a0you will see the finished product in my next blog post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
