For my archive project, it was on the Webrecorder.io and it was towards my obsession of a media marker known as Nicholas Sparks. I love to read which is why I am an English major and why I chose him as my obsession. Yes, he is an author who writes love story, but he has a way of creative things and making them real. He has been writing for about 20 years and just celebrated that. He has a way with words and makes to think what he is thinking. Sparks bring you into a whole new world of imagination.
With the archive project, we are looking at Nicholas Sparks and getting to know him better and see why he is one of my obsessions. The archive project allows you to see what I found about him. You get to look at his website he has and see how it shown. Then with the website you get to look at his biography and get to know him a little more. For example, where he lives, all the books he has written,and the books he wrote. With this, any information you find has been saved while your recording. Then we went to Wikipedia to find more information about Sparks because his website only gives a taste of what he is about. With Wikipedia, you can see how old he is, if he has any family, any children, if he is married and more. After that, we went to google and looked at images to see what he looks like. The images allow you to really see what he looks like and gives you many options. Then we went to to Barnes and Noble to see all the books he has written with the little summary about what the book is going to be about. We particularly look at the book The Choice because it is one of my favorite books and it was just made into a movie.
Then we go to the twitter, login to your account, and we look at his page. We search his twitter page and look at what he tweets and see what his twitter page is about. Obviously, it is going to be about all his books and anything he has coming up. Then we go to YouTube and look at a video where he does a interview. The interview is about his books and how he comes up with the ideas. Where he gets his inspiration from and more. After that, we go to his Facebook fan page. See what he posts and anything other people post. Then we got to my email to see the narrative that I made for the recording on google docs. Last but not least, we go to Tumblr and look at the post called archive project.
This project is pretty cool because while your searching everything is getting recorded and doesn't get lost. You don`t have to retrace your steps because everything is rerecorded right there for you. You get to look at anything you want while recording and it will be saved. People should know more about this and can actually use it for projects. This can help anybody get the information they need. It is a different way of communication and it tells a story while you are recording.
