Infographic





Our team info graphic is about the movie Les Miserable because it was a common movie all three of us enjoyed.
We decided to use a long vertical design because the information will look more organized and the readers will be able to understand the graph easily. We chose a dark gray background and white letters in order to emphasize the writings of our info graph. Since this movie itself is very  solemn theme, we thought darker tone background would be more appropriate than a bright one. Since the movie was about the happenings during the French Revolution, the dark grey colors represents the dull and dramatic mood of the movie. The other colors provided, such as green and gold also are symbolic for the money and awards that this movie received.

We also tried to put various types of information rather than just making a list. We added pictures and a video so that the viewer can visually see the data also. The pictures added are pictures of the cast of the movie Les Miserable and the writer of the novel. Not many people are aware of the fact that Les Miserable was derived from a book and later on a musical. That is the reason why there is a lot of singing in the movie.
The video is the international trailer for viewers who did not watch the movie. The international trailer itself shows how much this movie was globally watched and loved. 

For more information, visit the references on the bottom of the info graph and you will be able to enjoy more fun facts about Les Miserable!

Multimedia Tools

So far after using several multimedia tools I have found some advantages and disadvantages. The factors that I liked about multimedia is that I can communicate easily with people and it is much easier talking with one another on web rather than in person. Also it is easier to find the information and pictures that I need. I am amazed by the fast advancement of technology and the fact that our lives became so convenient. The negative effects of multimedia are that internet has no boundaries and therefore exposes all of my private life. In other words, everything is very public and open. It is sometimes difficult to post my thoughts and pictures due to the fact that everyone might be able to see.
Out of all the tools that I used so far, I think I enjoy using Instagram the most because I enjoy taking pictures and sharing them with other people. Blogger was also interesting because it was a new experience and I was able to express things about myself freely. I already have a blog called weebly but I think blogger is also very simple and satisfying. Since I like instagram I think Pinterest was my favorite multimedia tool that I would like to try again because the range of pictures was unbelievable. The variety of pictures were so diverse that I could spend hours on Pinterest by searching my favorite things.

Self-introduction

Hello :)
My name is Yerim Kim and my english name is Aimee.
As you can tell from my name I am Korean but I studied in the states for a few years so I am capable of speaking English. Currently I am a freshman at Hanyang University in Seoul and my major is the Division of International Studies.
My hobby is traveling and taking pictures of the places I visited.




These are a few of the pictures I recently took when I went to Changgyeonggung Palace. This is the big greenhouse within the palace and it was really pretty.

I also enjoy watching movies! I like all kinds of movie genres except horror movies. A few weeks ago I watched a movie called Kingsman and it was really good. I'm not a big fan of action but I have to admit that this movie had some great action scenes.
