| 11. Description of Example and Its Use in the Library: |
The collage of photographs, as seen in the example of my library’s youth services department, can be used by librarians for advertising purposes whether it through online or print media. Collages can easily be printed to make eye catching posters, displays, and marketing visuals for in-house use or community outreach. Additionally, collages can be embedded into blogs, Facebook pages, and websites for added visual appeal. |
| 12. Description of How the Example Capitalizes on the Tool's Potential: |
I created two collages to demonstrate the difference between the original photographs versus those which were enhanced. There is an endless array of editing tools which allow for a variety of backgrounds, sizes, captions, frames, and overlays allowing for a truly customizable look. |
