I want to know his feelings or his imagination, as well as the image he puts in which direction the movie should come out. Source : Andre Aciman script writer According to Andre aciman interview with The guardian. When he started writing a script he thought "I was dreaming about being in an imaginary Italian villa overlooking the sea. It was a real-estate fantasy: a swimming pool, a tennis court, wonderful family and friends, plus the attendant personnel: a cook, a gardener and a driver. I had even picked the house from a painting by Claude Monet."

Software testing : Canva

Image
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.

Software testing: Yumpu

Image
  Today I have been experimenting with the Yumpu website for my main project. For my project, I am going to make a flipbook to showcase my work. The image I use to test the website are from my project. First, I picked 7 images from my project and then went to Jpg2pdf.com to convert the image to pdf because Yumpu needs only pdf format.  Then I opened the Yumpu website and logged in ready to upload the file. Then I selected the pdf file that I was done in the first step to make a flipbook. Then I got a flipbook with pictures of my project in it and I changed the title name to my name. Then I got a window like this which means I already publish my flipbook. In my opinion, making a flipbook is quite suitable for my project because I intend to make the project similar to making a magazine with both pictures and articles.
