The Road to my Final Potfolio

For my final project I used Tumblr, which was a bit difficult to get used to, having not used Tumblr much before. I edited my short story which is the text I used for this project, though I still have a bit more editing to do as I am never happy or satisfied with my own writing. My story is about a girl who dies and what the afterlife is like for her. There are two main characters in the story, Edith and Ashley, and the story has a great deal of dialogue. I made the layout of my blog something with a magical feel to it. It has a lot of gifs and pictures of the sky, foliage, and weather. It was difficult to decide when to pause and put a gif throughout the dialogue, but I decided to add a gif each time a particularly good image is described or a emotion is felt by the main character. I also added music to my final portfolio, which was not something I had originally planned. I am still editing my story and I'm sure I will make some more changes, but so far I am very happy with how it has turned out.
