Conclusion

In Conclusion, anyone can be a storyteller but it each has his own way in telling that story because we are all unique.
I enjoyed my Journey in this course, looking forward to learn more in the Digital Art and Design advanced Course.
Hope you will enjoy my blog and stories.

VoiceThread Project

With the voice thread project, I have developed my learning skills, using new software and each time creating a new idea and a new way in presenting that idea.  It was a bit difficult to choose a subject for this project and I have faced few problems in following the steps in the tutorial.  But all went well at the end.

Folding Story

What I enjoyed the most was the folding story project, in which each one of my classmates had to come up with a line story so we can all continue in creating a full story.  I call that brainstorming, where we each say an idea that can be developed by a group of people.

Artifacts






Now you have read my words in the wordle project, and saw some pictures.













So here the time to watch my artifact project in which I have introduced you to my best friends with whom I have spent a long day enjoying Bchare a Lebanese Village in my country Lebanon.

  So I wanted you to follow me in every stop in this road trip creating some visual effects and a cool style in editing.

Better Place, Better Mood


After all the stress I have been through in my work, and being away from everything, I came back to home safe I found nothing better than nature to be in a better mood.

I missed Lebanon nature, relaxing and cool weather.  In this project, I also wanted to reflect my emotions artistically. 
And that way I would introduce you to the Lebanese Land.

Wordle


During this semester, I had a job opportunity abroad.  I am sound designer; I create sound design for movies, documentaries, advertisement… I like my job and I enjoy it a lot.  I have spent around three months away from my family, friends, bed, car… and all these feelings and emotions were translated into the wordle I have created for this class.  I have selected these colors because that how my mood was.
It is hard to leave all things behind and meet new people and live with them and get used to them and understand them. 

Introduction

"Story is the song line of a person's life.  We need to sing it and we need someone to hear the singing.  Story heard.  Story told.  Story written.  Story read creates the web of life in words."
