Comp 1

Composition one was very interesting. Most English classes are all about writing papers and analyzing someone else's work. It was a nice change to be able to create something of my own and analyze my process and the final product. The fact that we were able to intertwine art and language in an English project rather than create another 5 page plain text paper is what made this project so enjoyable. There were, however, times when I felt incredibly stressed doing this project. The biggest problem was trying to tell a story with such a limited number of words and images. After completing this project I am anxious to move on to composition four. It will be really interesting to see the differences in creative process that a larger assignment will allow for. Composition four will hopefully make it easier to tell our story since there is more space allotted. I'm excited to use comic life and create something using software that is new to me.

  1. I agree, I'm very excited to work on composition 4. I think that project will be my favorite out of all of the ones we have to complete. I'm a big fan of graphic design, so using comic life will be a nice change from the photoshop programs I've been accustomed to.

  2. I also agree, I thought it was very difficult to tell a story with a limited number of words and images. I think that composition 4 will help solve that problem and be enjoyable at the same time, and I am also looking forward to using the new(to me at least) software of photoshop and/or comic life.

  3. I also also agree. Composition 1 had been the most exciting and fun project I have ever had in any English class. Comic, somewhat feels like video, is so much more reader-friendly than hard-text book; so composition 4 will most likely be the #1 in everything I have done and will be doing for English classes. But, before that there's composition 2, which feels like a pain...
