The iconic quote from him is " Only photography has been able to divide human life. into a series of moments, each of them has the value of a complete existence". (Eadweard Muybridge) Many people have said that photographs will be the the one and only proof that the event actually happened. After I read his quote it reminds me to think back about a time when I take a photograph it means I want to keep that moment forever as a memory through photo and I hope every time when I come to see that photo again it will make me feel the motion and feeling is happen in that day again.

Software testing : Canva

Today I am testing canva website and I am going to try a magazine template.  First of all. I opened canva website and then I log in with my google account.      Then I searched in the search box for magazines. Then after I searched that it will pop up a new window with a blank paper on the right and for left side is templates to choose.   I chose this template because the promotions of images and articles fit quite well with my work. After that, I tried to put images from my website that are free copyright images from unsplash. I clicked upload on the left hand side and then upload images from my computer. To sum up, after I tried all 3 programs: Flipsnack, Yumpu and Canva. I think all 3 programs have different advantage such as canva website it doesn't need to convert images to pdf before put on the programs. So I decided to make my online magazine on the canva website.
