It’s almost three a.m. as I begin this blog. Early this evening I returned to campus, to begin Project 2 all over, a task I completed, minus the captions and intro, by ten after ten o’clock.

Like everyone else I’ve had a very long and busy day and I am tired, but mentally I am scheduling  the next day’s/actually today’s events… return to campus… try and put the finishing touches on this project, add those captions and the intro, classes, blah, blah, blah!  Look color anything I say with the fact that I am tired…I need my sleep!!!

So I will get to the point, this is a project I

could have spent loads of time on if only I owned a Mac. I enjoyed developing the concept and laying out the images. The software does a lot and as usual I want even more! I want to be able to scale my images to a greater degree and more easily, though I was able make token adjustments to them.  I want all the background colors available in every style of book. I want to paste in text, change my font, both of which are more than likely easily done but, I have not figured it out yet. I want to layer text over an image, if it can be done, PLEASE show me how. And most of all were it concerns this project, I want an exemption from the “clear and sharp image” requirement as I was dealing with many photographs taken in the 1930’s. But my biggest complaint is not being able to use my own computer.

I warned you I am cranky when I am tired! Mental Note: Add to tomorrow’s schedule write a better blog.
