Final+Project

For my final project I made a scrapbook of the trip I went on in April to Europe. I used www.picaboo.com to help me create it!

1) What did you enjoy about this process? 2) What did you not enjoy about this process? 3) What did you learn about the area that you chose? 4) Where would you use this in your life? 5)On reflection, what do you wish you could do differently?

1) The thing that I really enjoyed about this process was that as soon as Mr. Young said pick a topic, I knew I wanted to do something along the lines of Europe. Another thing that I really enjoyed was that when the idea of Picaboo came up I was already familiar with the program, and a scrapbook was the "bright idea". I Enjoyed going through all of the pictures again and picking the ones I really like and coming up with the really cheesy captions. Looking back on the book now, I realized how much I actually like to travel, and that is now another option after graduation for me, to go explore the world.  2) The things that frustrated me the most with this project was that when I wanted to change a picture to another picture it would sometimes put a totally different picture. Another down fall to the pictures were the mutilations that were made. The site would change the size of the photo and make you look fat, and short, or just cut you out completely.  3) The things I learned about scrapbooking is that it cannot be a rushed process because with the Picaboo site you cannot go and fix what you want after you order it. You let your emotions choose what you put really, and the imagination to place what where.  4) My scrapbook will be used to show friends and family all about my trip. As of Picaboo, it can be used in special moments in your life, you can make cards, collages, cups, ect. I am definitively thinking about making another book for graduation. Other ideas include, weddings, family trees. It really depends on your imagination.  5) I wish the book didn't take so long to order. I could have gotten so many more pictures from friends. It didn't come to my mind until I ordered it that I forgot about getting pictures from Chaydin. Overall those I am still very happy with the out come, I have been getting compliments on it, and getting asked "How'd you do it?!". That makes me feel kind of special because I get to introduce something new and cool to someone else.
