What I want to take away...

This class has definitely taught me a lot. I have learned to think "outside the box" when it comes to text... when I write, I no longer am simply writing.... I am composing something. I feel like more of myself becomes visible when working with animated text, and I can personalize it more and evoke more of audience response. I feel more confident with my own works that I have written, and I am anxious to show them off to everyone! It's not simply presenting someone with something that I've written... It's showing them a piece of me. At times it has felt a bit scary. When I show my pieces to others, I become very protective of it, and seeking feedback makes me scared that they will judge what I have done in a negative light. (But, when thinking about it, isn't that true for anything you invest in?)

This class has taught me the importance and necessity of revision. I alwaysalwaysalways think that I need to revisit what I've written/done/ composed after taking this class.

This class has taught me to have fun with what I write. And even in the anger and battles with my computer and the flash program, I've learned how to do that :-)
