Week 1

I found this template aesthetically pleasing, and the background of a map is something I identified with immediately. There was a large selection of templates, themes, backgrounds, and pictures to choose from which to choose, and after previewing almost each one, I settled on this. However, that was not the end of my process, I still needed to test each color out, contemplating with each one how that would fit my subject matter, which is hardly relevant at this point in the course.

As I proceeded through this process of selecting a template, I realized that I was going to have to overcome one major obstacle if I am going to be successful not only in this course, but social media in general. That obstacle in particular, to make everything "perfect". Looking back at the very few times that I attempted to post on FB or applied a filter and caption to a photo on Instagram, I would either give up, or spend 15-20 minutes completing it, and still finishing below my expectation.

With this realization, consistent practice through this course, and desire to apply this to my work, I'm hoping that I can get past this obstacle, and hopefully learn from it.
