With only a few days to go, describe the finishing touches that will make your Anthology truly unique.
There is not much more to do but I want to make my inspirations web especially good. I put a lot of my self into the decorating of my anthology because I love bright colors. I really hope that i can finish my cover page and inspirations web because I would like to finally turn my anthology in so I can be free of the work. Hopefully you enjoyed redaing it as much as I like writing it and that is all i really have to say. I added color and my thoughts so that is the finishing touches in my oppinion.
I just want to be done.
I want it to be marvelous.
I want my efforts to have paid off, but I know you don’t give points for effort, so I want it to be really, really, indubitably (sorry Trank :] ) fantastique (a little French for you).
So, final touches can come at 7 AM Friday morning. Right now, Tuesday night, at 10:22 PM, I want to be very, very done. And not have to worry about it. Ever, ever again.
ANTHOLOGY OF DOOOOOM is over (for the most part). All that I have to do is write my newly assigned post-script, type my last entries and make it pretty. I will probably be doing this for the next day and a half, and I’m pretty sure that it is going to turn out pretty good. If it doesn’t I will probably cry! I will be glad when this is over so I can get my sanity back.
I can not wait untill the anthology is over with! I have put it off untill the last two weeks and now it is crack down time. I am still working on it and it is Wednesday night and I still have to work on it probally all Friday to. But that is ok I will live. I just hope it is not too personal. Well yeah the “final touches” is finishing writing the project.
First off I would like to say that I am actually writing this blog after the fact which inevitibly is not a good idea. So what I can talk about the finishing touches that I added to the anthology last week. The real finishing touches were adding in some of the (black and white pictures) along with the section headings. What I feel makes this my anthology unique from the others is that it does contain no color. The last real final touch to it was making up a title (which I found in my preface while typing a sentence). Other than that I suppose my anthology is pretty generic.
Like Mike I am typing thias blog after I finished my anthology. But ,I can still mention some of the last minute details that I encountered.
The finishing touches or the “wraping papper to my anthology” were definitly more decrative touches. I had to make it beautiful. I added some more driesd floweers to it, and also I stamped a, and stamedsome more.(I had to stamp little tiny footprints at the bottom of each page, to hold the page noumber). Besides decoration, there were not many other last minute details
(surprisingly, my time ing was impecable). Or maybe it was because I had gotten anthology itis and had to take rtheh day off from school. Cough cough.
So, as Mike and Kaite have previously stated, I am responding to this blog after I have completed my anthology, but I can still remember when there were only days left.
Well, adding the final touches to my anthology, was the most difficult part for me. I thought that because all of my works, were written and typed, the final steps of putting it all together,and adding pretty colors would be the easy part.Well, I was wrong!!! From the time I got home until 2:30 in the morning, I spent cutting paper, gluing, and picking out the colerful paper as the backrounds. The really hard part was, the glue that I bought was not sticky at all. So not matter how much glue I used, I could not get my papers to stick!!…UGH!!….Well looking back on it, I am just getting frustrated, so I must go now!
As a few others have already stated, I am writing this after my anthology is complete.
Last week Wednesday, I came to school with the satisfaction of having my anthology complete. Little did I know, I have learned that you can never really be completly satisfied with the anthology. You will always think of something you could have added or done better. The english period that the anthology was due, I was adding final touches. I signed the end of my post script, an idea I borrowed from Taylor. I also noticed that I did not include a copy of my peer blog entry, so i also glued that in. I think the process of putting the anthology together and decorating my pages was the most exciting part of the anthology experience.
In retrospect, the finishing touches on my anthology were only partially finished compared to what I could have done. Maybe that says something else about me. Yup, that’s my cover. Truthfully, I wanted to do more. If i’d finished the “work” part earlier, I could have done more. Writng after it’s been done makes me realize that the anthology would have to be updated or outdated for it to be accurate. My finishing touches involved duct tape, blank sheets and sharpies (the marker), enough said?
Well first I wanted to make an MHCA picture page so i went online and got some action shots of us powerwheeling. The next thing I wanted to do was put some pictures of me and my dogs in there. my dogs are important to me so i thought they desearved to be in my anthology. I then just put some random pictures of bands and and people that mean something to me. I also went online and found my cover page picture. My mom also wrote something about my dogs to put in there but other than those things, thats is all the extra stuff I put in my anthology.
