Laura's+Project+2+Reflection

In approaching this assignment, I assumed it would be easy. Instead of writing a full-blown paper, our task was to create an argumentative based website with pictures and videos to prove our point. This was harder than I had anticipated. With the whole new component of using a website called Wix, my process slowed drastically. If you are planning on using Wix on any type of project, I suggest that you spend a decent amount of time playing around in the site before you begin (don't wait until you are ready the throw it together!). I started a week in advance of the due date and was able to produce 8+ webpages. Although Wix is very straightforward, it does take time to adjust to using the site.

In reflecting on this project I can tell you that once I got set in Wix, everything flowed together quickly. I had so much fun with this "paper" because our aim was not to write a "paper" in the first place. It was a much needed relief for my mind and a spark for my creativity. After I was comfortable with the site, I gathered many visual elements to back my argument. Research was a big part of my process, so I also spent a lot of time snooping the backgrounds of the video game characters I chose to talk about.
