April 28: Emerging Tech 3

Hello again, it's Al here:

For my grand finale, I have chosen to create a photo album on Mixbook, highlighting some silly adventures of my friends and family. I had a lot of fun making it.

Mixbook is a web-based application that allows the users to create their own custom photo albums for whatever they like. They can customize the layout, themes, photos, captions, and do just about anything else they like. After the album is finished, it can either be posted online for free, or for a fee the user can have an actual album printed out exactly the way it was made and have it shipped directly. Mixbook allows users to upload files from their hard drives, as well as a variety of websites such as facebook and photobucket.

Mixbook is very easy to get started with and use. I didn't even need to watch the tutorial. All you have to do is simply upload your pictures and click on whatever you want to edit on each page in a similar fashion to powerpoint. I used a bunch of pictures of my friends and me living our silly lives. This is a great app for anyone who wants to create photo albums, and would save a lot of money if they wanted to create a cost-efficient album for something like a wedding.

Here is a link to my album:
