It became much easier and quicker then to access the tools where I was used to finding them and finish the job.<\/p>\n<p>However, even before I had approached my computer to make a start on Wednesday, I&#8217;d done some background reading about Julia Child on the iPad, and had a number of possible titles and &#8220;critics comments&#8221; bouncing around in my head that were looking for a home on the poster, so I was certainly motivated to push on and get the poster done, rather than leaving it unfinished.<\/p>\n<p>So Although this didn&#8217;t wind up going exactly the way I originally envisioned it, I learned a lot along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than extending this post, I&#8217;m going to write up the details above as a quasi-tutorial, using the following headings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Working Backwards<\/li>\n<li>The Benefits of some Research<\/li>\n<li>The Plan<\/li>\n<li>Finding The Resources and Nixing Some<\/li>\n<li>Creating My Way Forward Until I Stopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>But this Daily Create was fun.<\/em> It needs to be a full blown ds106 assignment. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, January 23rd, the prompt for The Daily Create was just too good to ignore.
