As I worked on my mashup I decided to put my thoughts on paper first. I sorted through my thoughts by listing whatever came to mind down and sorting through it later. After fifteen minutes of deep thought I then began to sort through what I had to make sense of it all. It's kind of like when you begin to draw a picture. You take the colors out first of what you'll be using, and then you make something out of those colors.
Overall I felt my strategy was successful and effective. I was able to get my mashup done in a timely matter and also feel rally confident about it. I felt that since I spent a lot of time thinking of ideas and items to put in my mashup, it made it easier for me to create the final product. If I could change one thing about my mashup it would be to find better images for love. I couldn't find images that expressed love without a story behind it. I searched for an hour for the images I had and I still wish I could have found better ones even though I like the ones I have.
What surprises me the most about my thinking is how organized and step by step it is. I had a list of tasks I made and a clear set list of ideas. I wasn't all over the place with my thoughts and made sure I went down the list of tasks instead of just jumping from one to the other. I felt that showed a lot in my final product because each step introduced the one after it. What I like about my thinking the most is this organization. I've worked hard to train myself to think this way and I'm glad it is finally coming through in my work. The one thing about my thinking I would like to improve is my timing. I want to be able to complete and think of things faster. If I could retain more information and be able to recall things a lot more easily then the timing of projects, similar to the mashup, wouldn't take me hours to complete. But even with hours of hard work I am very proud of the product I have produced.
