1. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?
I searched things like "letter m, a, r, y, etc."

I learned how to use iPhoto to make a slideshow and edit photos.





3. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.
In case i need to make a slideshow for a class or if i need to fix something in a picture.





4. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?
I liked this project tons better because everyone's was different.  With the other assignments, everyone's final product looked the same but this was more personalized.
5. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
I used mostly my own pictures and music that I already had.
