Florida Fun- Final Project

My project consists of an Instagram and a website. The Instagram is titled “summerfloridafun,” while the website is titled, “Florida Fun.” It took a lot of patience to create my project because I used Wix to create my website and this was my first time using Wix.
My goal for this project was to outline my many adventures I took while living and visiting Florida over the past three summers. The purpose was also to keep track of where I was and what I was doing and how I felt when going on these many adventures.
My process was a complicated one. It always takes me forever to get an inspiration or idea. My idea took me awhile to fully get in my brain. I know I wanted to expand on my location based narrative but I didn’t know how. I wanted to do something that meant something to more than myself and that would get people interested.
The technology I used was my macbook, Wix, and Instagram, along with Google. The three characteristics I used were location based, nonlinear, and hypertextual. The Instagram aspect of this project is mainly location based because I tag my location in every post. The title of my blog posts on Wix is also the location of where my adventures take place. Both the Instagram and the Wix are nonlinear because you can click on any post and you can read it, they do not go in any order. The third characteristic is hypertextual. Each blog post has a hyperlink in it that leads to the website that is being discussed in the post. 
            My inspiration for this project was my Uncle Danny. He lives in Florida and is always inspiring me to do what makes me happy. He inspired me to become a certified diver since he is a master diver and has his own boat.

            My other inspiration was myself. I want to show people that it does not matter where you come from that you can have big dreams and travel. I also want to keep an accurate record of everywhere I have been and what I have done there.

Favorite Method(s) of Procrastination

This week we had the option to pick between the two prompts titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" or "Chart your latest project against this shape. In what ways does it match? In what ways does it differ?" As per usual, both prompts sparked my interest but when it came down to picking one I chose the one titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" One of my most common methods of procrastination, like many of my peers, is my phone. Social media, texting, and music are my main problems when it comes to turning to my phone instead of my schoolwork or whatever else I am supposed to be doing. I would say my next most common method is food. When I am working on something I am constantly thinking about everything in my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I am constantly snacking and it drives me crazy. I should probably weigh like 50...

PostSecret

First, I want to start off by apologizing for this weeks response being so late. Last week was Thanksgiving (I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with family) and Black Friday. I spent my holiday working retail with little sleep so that is why this post is so late, please forgive me. This week, or should I say last week, our prompt option was a little different. We were given the reading assignment titled, "Who are the people whose digital presence or identity you most admire? Your favorite Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter feeds?" We then had to pick two of them and answer a few questions. The assigned prompt this week was titled, "Climb up your own creative family tree." This creative family tree's purpose was to show me what different social media sites and pages I look at and where I get my inspiration for my own posts. I found this tree to be very difficult and exhausting since I try to be original when it comes to creating my posts. I found this w...
