Sunday Funny 1:My badge

The Badge

Badge Assignment:

I believe that the places you grow up in are an integral part in the development of ones identity. For me, my parents work in the public health sector, so their jobs has brought me to live in countries like the United States, Switzerland, and China. The flags are a reflection of the places that I consider home and the places that have made me who I am. Living in various places exposed me to different cultural views and has molded and shaped my identity as a person. The three equal images of flags represent the three places that I equally feel are my home and a large part of my identity. I specifically chose the images of flags because I felt that the consistent sky blue background looked appealing. I had quite a-lot of trouble completing the assignment. One of the biggest issues that I still have is adjusting the badge to fit its proper dimensions of 300 pixels wide by 250 pixels high. Whenever I tried to rescale it, it would squeeze the size of the badge thus making the division of the three flags uneven and unappealing. I am also having particular trouble in creating a link from my main site to the blog for my english class.

Sunday Funnies 1: Badges

Stinking badges? badge

Due: January 20

(Note that these Sunday Funnies assignments will normally be due on Sundays. However, given that we’ve just started and Monday is a holiday, I’m giving you until Tuesday to make your badge and get your course subdomain published.)

First, read this Domain Documentation page on creating your own badges. We’ll talk some in class about Creative Commons licensed images.

Then create a badge for yourself. Start by choosing one or more of your own photos as the basis of the badge, drawing something yourself and scanning it, or finding one or more CC-licensed images on Flickr that you can modify. Make certain to keep a note for yourself of the URL for the photos you use if they are not your own.

Crop and otherwise edit the photo(s) in a photo editing application (like Photoshop or PicMonkey). You can create a layered or collage effect, if you’d like. Add your name on your badge in such a way that it’s legible. You might also include your domain URL, but that’s not required.

Your final badge should be 300 pixels wide by 250 pixels high.

When you’re done, load the badge into your Media Library and publish it to your site in a blog post. Include information and links in the post about the source(s) for images included in your badge.

Write a brief paragraph about why you chose those images, what aspects of yourself and your interests are represented in your badge, and/or what difficulties you faced in creating the badge.
