so i have used image editing software frequently for minor works, such as birthday cards or raw image editing, but i have never created a major project digitally. this should be an interesting assignment since i am totally software savvy but believe myself to be artistically challenged. it is said somewhere that as we age we progress in most things we do. it seems that my artistic skills as well as mind set have declined from my younger years in which i was known as an artist.
i did not understand the assignment at first since i could not make clear how to make an argument out of a piece of art and especially a collage. after the example that was shown in lecture, i "re-realized" that all pictures and art are arguments. pictures are a 1000 words right?
i have not yet decided or even brainstormed any ideas for a topic; not to mention my argument. this is an open assignment which makes it flexible and invites more interest (if i am wrong and we are given a topic already someone please let me know). this should also be interesting since i have never used images or pictures in an English class before.

From what I understand of the assignment, I think that we just find pictures of what copyright means to us. I'm excited to try to make a visual argument instead of having to write a paper!
I agree that it is kind of hard to understand what a visual argument might be, since we are so used to making our arguments through papers. But I think the assignment is pretty open-ended, and as long as we create some kind of statement with our image, I think we will be meeting the requirements.
