<![CDATA[Process Reflection]]>So, as I am writing this I’m also in the process of finalizing my e-Portfolio and basically everything else that I need for this class before 11:00pm tonight.  Let me just say, this isn’t exactly an experience I want to have again.  I have pretty much been working non-stop all day on everything, and that comes after a night of almost no sleep.  It was not a good decision on my part to put this much at the last minute and I am finding that this whole re-mediation process was a lot more work than I originally expected.

Having said all that, however, the actual assignment itself is one I liked.  I got to revisit a work that I was very proud of and basically re-imagine ways to present it.  As a visual learner, having the original assignment presented in this way was a lot nicer and more appealing to me than just walls of text.  I haven’t actually done something like this much in college (or really, high school either) so I’m learning a lot of new ways to be creative when it comes to not only finding good images to represent data, but also ways to actually present the data in a way that is appealing and logical.

I found that having the outline (which isn’t something I usually do for visual work, to be honest) was actually really helpful.  Whenever I forgot how I wanted something arranged, I would refer back to the outline and use it to remember exactly what I wanted, instead of just winging it.  The process as a whole has been stressful, but that’s primarily due to the way I chose to allot my time on it.  Overall, I really like this assignment, probably more so than the other Gateway course assignments.
