We’re nearing the end of the learning project assignment, so I wanted to create a way to display my favourite photographs I have taken. As I was searching for a website to create a portfolio, Adobe Portfolio popped up in the search. Adobe Portfolio is a user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing platform where you can create an online portfolio to showcase your work. I should have read some reviews because after spending a lot of time creating my portfolio, I realized that…

The end of the semester is upon us, and the curricular requirements of documenting my crochet journey are coming to an end. I’m so glad I had a reason to finally get into crochet! It’s been something I have wanted to try for a while and this was the push I needed to actually start.

My last update on my crochet project! Last week, I levelled up from cute, round stuffies, and started working on a collared shirt/sweater. I had my front and back panels complete last week, and talked about having to unravel and redo the project a few times. This week, I sewed the two panels together for

What I am learning that I didn’t assume at the beginning of this, is that there are quite a lot of free resources online for teaching ASL! With this website: startasl.com, I love that is has this getting started video for all the people starting to use the site. Learning a new language can be quite daunting on its own, let alone trying to navigate through the websites you’re trying to find to learn said language with. I feel like…

CapCut is a video-editing website I found to document one aspect of my learning project. Part of photography is showcasing the photos you’ve taken, and one way to do that is through videos. The inspiration for my video was the paper flipbooks you drew as a kid and flipped through quickly to “animate” it. I started by scouting a location and using my sister as a prop (she consented!). Next, I adjusted the settings on my camera. It was a sunny…

Part of photography is learning how to edit the photos you have taken. There is an editing tool called Snapseed for practicing editing. As I was getting ready to use Snapseed, I learned that the app is not supported on Macbooks, which I hoped it was. I wanted a tool I could use on my Macbook so I would have a large screen to stare at. I later found that you can download an Android Emulator and then download Snapseed….

So you’re probably thinking, is getting a DSLR camera worth it? Or can I just use my cellphone? Well, I can’t speak for Android phones, but my iPhone can take some pretty decent photos. However, something sparks my creativity while holding my DSLR camera, but I appreciate the convenience of my iPhone. A cellphone camera automatically adjusts, and you can take a photo at a whim. With a DSLR camera, while you can use the Scene Intelligent Auto, we are…

Hi everyone, welcome back to my crochet learning project blog. I have an awaited update on my crochet blanket, but it’s not what I hoped to give. After the previous weeks of my project, which were going great and looking like the attached photo from week 9, I had an unexpected issue. When I moved…
