Capstone Reflection

I learned a few things from the couple of the capstones that I looked at. I learned a lot from Even Roberts, who did the concept of the iFridge. I thought the idea was so cool, but it wasn't just that. It was also how he presented it, especially the new knowledge that Apple had come out with an app that helped you make an ebook. I thought it was so cool what you could do in it, not just words but also pictures and animations as well. It's $5.00 if I found the right thing at the App Store so maybe I can play around with that a bit for my own capstone, though I'm not totally sure for what or why. He also taught me some things the iPad can do, I had just recently gotten one and was still pretty new to its features and uses.

I also learned from Samantha Tarkington, the presenter that did a comic. She was the only one that asked me what exactly I was doing for my own capstone when I asked her the last question about advice. Like I'm planning to do she worked on a story that was old, and dear to her heart. Because of that it made things harder, especially getting things up to the expectations that you have for something so dear to you. I might not have as much of a problem that she had since I'm using words to describe things, which is open to interpretation, while her drawings are not, they simply are what they are.

I also went to see Zachary Paquette’s, he was in my capstone group and had an idea somewhat similar to my own. Seeing how he presented his gave me an idea how I could present mine without having to worry constantly about someone coming up and taking my stuff, because I would need to at least include my or a computer for display as well as my iPad, since I have every intention on making my website interactive so it switches well between at least computer and tablet.
