ONLINE SCRAPBOOKING - SOME TIPS TO GO ONLINE WITH SCRAPBOOKING
Article by: Abhishek Agarwal Scrapbooks describe things about our lives
(Agarwal) Scrapbooks were made to describe the
individuals imagination (Agarwal) Though in the present day the same can be done
online Allowing people’s work to be posted online There are almost100,000 templates which can be
downloaded, helping the users use more than one or two templates when making their scrapbook (Agarwal) These templates show the persons interests and
personalities Most sites, like smilebox offer these templates free
of charge!http://www.articlesbase.com/scrapbooking-articles/online-scrapbooking-some-tips-to-go-online-with-scrapbooking--739862.html
REFLECTION ON SMILEBOX/ ARTICLE 1
“Initially, scrapbooks were made considering the individual's imagination.” (Agarwal)
Three “a-ahs” Online scrapbooking has not changed the ideas and
traditions of “cut out” scrapbooking, but has simply helped the production time when you are trying to decide about what layouts seem right.
All websites that offer online scrapbooking are different and can help you decide how and what you want your scrapbook to be like: this helps with people’s different personalities.
Online scrapbooking is so much cheaper than going to craft stores and getting your material.

“A Gift” The author (aspnes) says that a tribute with
photos is the same meaning as giving someone a gift.
Like the service of picaboo, Anna Aspnes used the application and wrote this article about her experiences in making a tribute book
She gathered her images, and made sure each image had a “story” to go along with it Anna mentions within the article that, “The
photos obviously play an integral part in a tribute photobook but equally important are the words you will choose to go with those images and the stories you will choose to tell.” (Aspnes)
CREATING A SUCCESSFUL TRIBUTE BOOK BY: ANNA ASPNES

REFLECTION ON PICABOO/ARTICLE 2
“A tribute could span years, decades, or even generations, and the book provides sufficient space to tell those stories in whatever voice you choose.” (Aspnes)
Three “a-ahs”“Images tell stories”- I always thought of
images this way, but looking at it through an online advancement perspective, I can see how well images look and how more crisp they make the story that is inside of them.
Converting images to black and white or sepia, can really change the way you look at a picture.
People’s perspectives are laid out in the pictures that they take and share with others.
VECTOR MAGIC: 3RD ONLINE SCRAPBOOKING EXAMPLE
Vector Magic converts bitmap images to crisp clean vector art.
What are Bitmap images? Images that are described by pixals
What are Vector images? Images that are described by shapes, such as circles and
squares.•Why use Vector Images?• In most aspects vector images are used in graphic design, and
are used for when pictures need to be printed out, because to the human eye the picture may look fine on the computer screen but then be all pixilated when it is printed out.

VECTORMAGIC BETA ONLINE VECTORIZATION
BY: STEVEN CLARK At Stanford University Artificial Intelligence research
project made a website called VectorMagic. This allows the whole world of online communicators to
convert raster images to vector images in a far better way than previously done before.
Some statistics showed the “differences between the input bitmap and the re-rasterized vector result is 100% for VectorMagic, 215% for Corel and 255% for Adobe. While color identification errors are 6% for VectorMagic, 66% for Corel and 50% for Adobe.”(Clark)
REFLECTION ON VECTORMAGIC/ARTICLE 3
“While colour identification errors are 6% for VectorMagic, 66% for Corel and 50% for Adobe.” (Clark)
Three “a-ah”This statement above was so astonishing,
and really proved how technology is emerging everyday.
All images are made of tiny pixels that when printed out look very distorted.
Vector magic as seen from the statistics is the best way to make a clear picture look its best.
CONCLUSION By seeing the different kinds of online
scrapbooking one can apply what they have learned manually to what they can now do online, for cheaper and more accessible.
By reading the articles found within this presentation one can see the proof of just how easy and reliable using the internet for creating photo pages and different layouts can be; and want to try to make their lives less complicated; which is what this process is all about.
