Effective+Visuals+-+Picnik

=This is an example of creating Effective Visuals with the use of Picnik. Picnik is photo enhancing web-based software. It can be found at [] =

====Enhancing photos was a completely new skill to me. As I worked through this activity I had a lot of fun experimenting with the various tools in this software. I realized that there is so much that can be done to photos to make them more effective in a presentation than to just use the original. It makes it more meaningful when you spend the time to change it! As this was a completely new skill, I had no prior knowledge to work from except for my knowledge of working with many tools. Some of the controls are universal but a lot of them I had to experiment with in order to create the effect that I wanted to achieve. To overcome the challenges with this tool, I spent quite a bit of time with "trial and error". Once it was completed, I really did not have to change anything. This new skill will help my students in the future by letting them see that they don't just have to cut and paste but can change an image to make it more suitable for their own projects. ====
