FAVICON FRANCHISE! (CONTEST)

Lately, When I get bored, I go to this website called Favicon Generator. It's a really cool sites that allows you to create favicons easily. A favicon is that thing in the top-left corner of the browser. For me, it's a cookie. Anyway, I've been messing around when I get bored, so I decided to post them on my blog. HERE THEY ARE! Hold on to your seat:




Post witch one you think is BEST! Will post new blog post to give the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place favicons a chance in the spotlight.

My Visual Poem

Hello and welcome to an ALL NEW PROJECT! This project is for a visual poem that I, alone, have been working on. My poem is about the morning. Things that happen in the morning, and things that wake in the morning. I also went to the beach in the morning before school started, and filmed the sunrise, and got a time lapse. All the film was taken by me, and so was the editing. I believe the visuals really "bring out" the meaning in my words, by visualizing what I'm saying. You can view the finished product right there. Above. Trees and stuff. Can't miss it.

There are tons (well not literally, videos don't have weight...) of special effects that I stuffed into the video. transitions, music, text, backgrounds, sound effects, and a few others. I believe this makes the video look more professional, and really express what I'm trying to say. The transitions also help make it not look... well... jagged like a broken rock. And I really like the text options. They're really cool. And I also (lastly) think that the beginning kinda redish-orangeish-yellowish bubble-like things, along with the blurred text and ocean background sounds, makes it really a feely sorta thing. I think the effects were really fun to play with.

In mostly all of these paragraphs I've talked about how good the poem is, but there are a few things that could be improved on. First of all, the timing is a little off. This is because the transitions were taking up a little of the video, and I didn't have enough video to go around. Second of all, the "In the morning" in the beginning of the video was slightly cut off. But that's all I can think of for now. Overall, I would say I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Critique the video for yourself. I don't know how, but there's gotta be someway to message me of YOUR critique of the video. Figure it out. Also, below, there is the plan that my poem was based off of. Read it if you like. I don't care.

See ya next time!
