My Summer Image Collection

Here in my Image Collection:


I did my Image Collection with a "Summer" theme. I decided to do the the summer theme for a couple reasons. One, its my favorite season, two my birthday is in July, three it's the season we are in, and finally its a fun season with good images. For my own personal digital picture I chose a picture from my cruise on spring break this March 2010. When at the beach I have a weird thing about loving to take pictures of feet in the sand (weird, I know). So I chose this image first, and I also chose it to be my album cover! Second, I found this pretty, tropical picture of a rocky beach with waves crashing on it. It really couldn't get anymore "summery". Thirdly, for my free web-based image I searched "summer" on Google Images. This picture of a sunflower with a beautiful blue sky came up and I really loved it. Next, I for my screen shot I found a icon image collage entitled "summertime". I took a quick screen shot of it and felt it was an OK image. And finally, I used a fun image I wrote/drew of the word "summer".

This was a fun project, seriously, I actually did like it. I think that I liked it for a couple reasons, 1 because we got to select our own theme and 2 because I enjoy pictures and scrapbooking and this is kind of like scrapbooking. What do I not like? I hate having to resize and change resolutions of pictures. I see why its better to have a selection of pictures that are all about the same size. But I'm not very good at it so it kind of takes a while! Overall, fun/interesting project.

  1. Thanks for sharing! Although, I am missing your original "artwork" scanned image??

    The uniformity of sizes makes for a more visually pleasing slideshow. The compressing to 72-96 dpi is essential for quick uploads for digital storage, such as in the PLP. You will be happy you took the time to do it!
