Jennifer This helped me create a focus in my theme...I ended up rearranging the order much more than I originally thought!!
 * Beatrice ||  || I have learned a great deal from this process and the idea of a story board keeps me focused and organized. Can't wait to be able to try it on a regular computer. ||   ||

Diane Kledzik: I like Kristi's idea of using post it notes once I get a picture or wording I want to keep. I kept rearranging words and photos and did a lot of erasing! It helps for me to have an idea before I go hunting for pictures. My original idea morphed into something I didn't expect.

Walt Smith: When I started, I tried to put my ideas down without a plan. The storyboard really put some order to my planning Return to assignment [|Return to blog]
