6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?

2. All the photos where mine so i did not have to search anything.

3. I learned how to edit pictures and that u can make a slideshow from iphoto and not just imovie and powerpoint.

4. Well, you could get photos together and give this as a gift to a brother or sister on their graduation day.

5. I like this assignment more because we had to take the photos ourselves and i think it was more hands on.

6. Well I took all the photos my self so i didn't have to use the copyright law. The music was already uploaded so it was free to use. I edited some pictures and cropped them so the letters were more visible to see. 

All and All I thought this project was fantastic!! :D

About Me

In this class I hope to learn alot of the tricks of the mac. I am really not that familiar with the mac laptop so I am not really sure of everything you can do on it.
I would like to be communicated about my grades through email or NetClassroom. 
I choose this picture because I love Starbucks coffee and iced tea is my favorite drink. :D
