E. Hersh Infographics

We had a really solid research process where we found a bunch of resources and interesting background to the Oklahoma Lead Contamination. However when we went to make our infographic, we started on the wrong foot, we drew ours. We were supposed to digitalize our infographic. So what went wrong for us was transferring all of our hard work onto the computer. Next time we should stick to the guidelines, however I think we successfully make it concise, informative and interesting to look at.

This Weekend

This weekend has been very exciting. About 6 of my cousins came over and stayed until Sunday Evening. On Friday I spent the evening cleaning my room and watching "Scream 4". On Saturday I went to Men's Warehouse to get fitted for my tuxedo. While leaving Men's Warehouse I went to purchase a water ice around the corner from my house. When I finally arrived home, I watched tv with my cousin that night until we decided to watch Scream 4 again. On Sunday I slept for majority of the day until that night when I'd awaken to work on school work.

These are my three edited photos. I took them with my camera phone that is 3.2 megapixels. I worked with different angles. The one of the flower was taken with my Photo Booth camera. I chose the flower one because it was given to me by it was given by a great friend of mine. The middle picture is the most recent. I adore the way the sky had a lighter blue creeping through the clouds and the buildings reminded me of Hawaii. The last picture was taken right outside of SLA. It had a nice glow from the buildings in the night.
