Midterm (Visual Digital Storytelling)

Our new type of assignment which is called the "Digital Storytelling", is a new way for students to submit creative work online. It allows anybody to look at posts that other students worldwide post, for each different assignment. For each assignment, people can vote and rate how well and interesting the assignment is, out of 5 stars.

There are different categories of Digital storytelling assignments, and the one that I find most interesting to work on was "Visual", therefore I am going to explain about the visual part of this assignment.

Visual assignments asks people to complete the assignments mainly focusing on images and something fun for people to look at, examples of assignments :

1. "Find Yourself" - This assignment asks to find your name around your environment and post images that include you name in it. It can be either your first name and or your last name. Here is an example of a student blog who completed it.
Find Yourself

2. "Cropped Signs"- This assignment asks to find signs that are taken by cameras and are cropped through cameras. Then blog about how the cropped signs differ its meaning from the original signs. An example of a student blog who completed it.

3. "Common everday object" - This assignment asks to take pictures of common everyday object that you see around you, and then to manipulate the colors of the photos. An example of a student blog who completed it.

As you can see, anybody can view and look at other students' blog posts and look at different interpretions and ideas for each assignment. I personally think that it is interesting to 'look at images' rather than reading long writings about random topics.

Finding funny logos such as these are interesting also and can be fun to find.



This visual assignment allows people to pay more attention to the environment and take pictures of them and also precisely talk about them. It also builds up your knowledge about images, cameras, angles and colors.
