I have never blogged before this moment, so this may or may not be any good. The same goes towards being a maker, which is an entirely new concept for me. Does it count if I do art, and creative writing? Because that's what I am going to stick to for the time being as my path of making/creating.
Today I ended up decorating the cover of my day book (I'll include a picture later), and at the beginning I was truthfully stuck on what to do. I haven't had that problem since Ap Art, and deciding on concentrations. Eventually I started to flip through a magazine, and was lucky to find a page that was filled with "word art". I tore the page out, found another page with some interesting art on it, and moved on to some color paper. Cutting the pictures and paper into angular boxes, I started to overlap them, creating a design, and went back and outlined the boxes with colored markers. At first I really hated the design, and thought it was going to go south quick, but I angled some more pictures, and went outlining crazy with the markers, turning it into a startling success. At least it felt startling when I looked at the finished product, wondering how one earth I managed to do a cover that I would be proud of.
My Opinion on "Making"
I really don't have one yet. I'm still trying to figure it all out, I believe I have the general scope down, but it's all kind of daunting when ideas are pushed onto me. As far as I'm concerned I make stories and art, and that's as far as it will probably go, so on the technological aspect of making my future isn't looking too bright.

It is nice to see that you have found a making medium that you are comfortable with. I believe that is one of the most important parts of being a maker, finding the best way you can express yourself and mastering it.
then make the best stories and art possible to exspress yourself. i saw your g+ maker project drawing. it was realy good! FYI i sit next to you in class
I really like what you did for the cover of your day book :) I think it was a really creative to use word art. I also agree with you about not really having an opinion on making yet. I think it is something that we will figure out as we go through the class. Also I think I sit in front of you in class :)
