Bonjour, this is my User Manual Reflection:

 

For the final project I was very excited to get working on it, I really enjoy writing and find it as an amazing way to express myself because of this I found it really easy to complete my user manual. It all started with getting to know who I was as a person (which I kinda took as a joke at the beginning) but as a weaved my way deeper into this project I realized that learning about myself was actually very interesting because I was learning new things about me that I surprisingly didn’t know before, guess I just needed to flip over a few more stones eh?.

I learned knew ways of presenting and editing in apps such as keynote and pages. It really amazed me on what keynote can do because I thought it was just a app for presentations, but in reality its so much more. You can do things like instant alpha, add voice recordings, and add different borders, shapes, and cutouts to a page. Pages on the other hand I never really used as much as keynote. I find it very handy to use and I really liked how it related to keynote in the sense of having the same little fun features (instant alpha, cutouts, etc.) I found these handy because it made it easy to insert photos and not have to edit them outside of the app. I also really liked the accessibility to change the text size, realign the page, and too make the text bold, slanted, or underlined all at the bottom of the screen. I found both of these really helpful in creating My User Manual and My Memoji Laptop.

Speaking of My Memoji Laptop, with the User Manual we also hands to create and design a the Memoji Laptop I was really exited for this, I knew the type of stickers I wanted on my laptop and what they wanted to represent. This is where keynote comes into play, we used it to create our Memoji Laptop with the help of instant alpha, borders, and insert photos (using safari and myself as main sources). Most of my stickers at the beginning where all hand drawn by me, but as the feedback of my peers as well as looking at others heavily influenced my choices and made me change the design of my laptop. I added some images from safari mostly memes and funny photos but with that I needed to get rid of some of my original stickers to give up some space for the newer stickers. I am really happy with that decision because it let me add more stickers that are more personal to me and that really show off me and my personality in the best way possible.
