My Life Project

I did my My Life project almost all at home. I had a hard time finding pictures as my family doesn't take that many and we have mostly school pictures and pictures our relatives sent us. Since I was sick I wasn't there for the explanation of the project and I didn't get some of the details correct. This resulted in a rather jumbled and incomplete understanding of the project. I did make do with the few pictures I was able to procure and attempted to make the best of it. Since all but one picture came from my home albums I had very few sources.

Genome Project

For the Genome project I chose Steampunk. I started by going through YouTube recommendations and finding songs I may have not heard before. I then narrowed down the list by selecting those that fit into the genre and chose the widest possible spread between all  edges that can encompass the genre. I then sampled the songs into an iMovie and found a music video and cut it and sampled it in while ducking out the music. I compiled all of my sources into one page and made it a picture. I did this with all of my slides to easily acquire "unique" backgrounds.
