ds106assignment.
Who put her in charge?! For this assignment… we were instructed to take a photo from The Big Picture page from the Boston Globe. Next, we were then told to lay some typographical text elements in a way that changes the message. I sat with this photo for a while (it was my favorite & so very cute!) and I thought about the message I was getting from it. A little girl conducting a group of adults who are playing instruments. Therefore, the message is that she would not be standing before these adults if she was unaware of what her job entailed. SO… this leads to the text that I choose to use that changes the meaning. “Ah.. 5, 6, 7 & 8……Oops. I already forgot”. In my opinion this cracked me up because if you have ever spent any time around children (all I do), it is comical how their little brains work. They have the most incredible memories for certain things (recalling specific things). Yet, when asked to repeat something right back (what I can infer from this picture, that’s what they were most likely asking her to do) they struggle with completing the task successfully.

This website was called, “Pixlr Editor” (you can find it here: https://pixlr.com/editor/ )From here, I was able to add text to the image. After I typed out the text , it was easy to move the text around the image to place it directly where I wanted it. Once I was happy with the final image and MEME, I clicked ‘save’ and it was on my desktop waiting to be uploaded for this assignment!
