the grande finale

Well this will be my last post for this subject. It has certainly been unexpected but interesting. When I enrolled in this subject I was under the impression (and was told) that it was about websites and that designers would be teamed up with 'coders' and they would work on creating a website together. What a shock it was when I found out that it didn't really have anything to do with creating websites at all! However, I was interested in learning how to make a podcast and I have learnt valuable skills and about various applications along the way. I'm glad that we learnt how to use flash, because I really wanted to learn how to use it but was rather unmotivated to do so outside of class and I didn't really have time. At least with the flash lessons, I did learn more about making websites so I am pleased about that. It was interesting to see what people's interests were, regarding online multimedia in the presentations and in a sense it was a way for me to get to know other members in the class, whom I normally wouldn't talk to because I don't know them and they're not in any of my other classes.

This subject has certainly opened up avenues that I would like to explore including itunes, garageband, audacity and flash. I'd also love to check out websites like deviant art and myspace in the holidays and see how I can benefit from them.

Tomorrow is the day that all of this is due and once I hand in my CD, I will know that I am much more aware of the online multimedia that is out there and will participate in it more in the future. Chow!
