Letters and Numbers
For this project, we had to take pictures of raw and manmade letters over the winter break
(SORRY HARBECK, SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH IT. ITS NOT LATE.)
Here are the instructions for your Letters and number assignment.
- Have a post with the snapwidget showing all letters and digits manmade and raw.
- Have a slide deck with the letters one per sheet (there should be 4 rows of 7)
- One slide has a picture of each letter so it is a total Alphabet. Please leave the first and last letter blank. Then move the first row and last row to center properly on the page.
- Title the post Letters and Numbers Slide Deck
- Label the post letters & numbers, Harbeck, cropping,
The more you do the better your mark. Minimum in this slide deck is 40 sides. Make sure to have everything you need. See me if you do not understand.
Batch Converting
In Irfanview please batch convert your square cropped images to 3 by 3 inch squares. Up the DPI to 300.
The library computers all have Irfanview that works. Batch converting them is an important step in making good slides for this presentation.

For this project, we took pictures of letters(raw and manmade) during the winter break. I cropped the pictures and put it in a slide one by one. It was hard to find raw letters and it really took time to make it.
Man Made
Raw
Over the month of December, we were assigned to look for things that looked like letters. We had to find manmade and raw letters. We then created an Alphabet Book.

For this presentation, you will see all the letters in the alphabet that I took pictures of during the winter break. I batch converted the letters so it looks the same and nice. In two slide decks, one will have man-made and the other will have raw.
We had to take pictures of letters that were man made and raw. Then we had to crop the pictures we took and make an alphabet book.
ALPHABET CHALLENGE
During the winter break, our class was challenged to scavenge for objects that resembled letters from the alphabet. I felt both thrilled and frustrated all throughout the hunt for the letters. Thrilled because I had something to occupy myself with through two weeks of nothing to do. Frustrated because I often found myself not knowing where to find any of the characters. (there was one instance where I desperately tried to make an edamame bean pass for a letter, my attempts were unsuccessful.) This assignment truly challenged the way I perceived objects and how I can make them look a certain way.
