Odessa's GE

My project consisted of places I've been and places I want to go. I've never travelled outside of the United States, so a lot of the places I want to go is outside of the United States. A lot of the main places and such were based in New Zealand. I've always been drawn to New Zealand and it's always been appealing to me. I used a decent amount of image overlays in certain places. Every single time I did an image overlay I brought down the image opacity a little bit because I felt as if it made it look a little better. I used paths and such, although I felt as if using the path tool was rather pointless. I used to show how there is a walk-around-path around White Lake- which is a place I have been to quite a few times over the years.
I am personally the type of person that like to learn things on my own. Google Earth was pretty easily to learn. Google Earth has it's cute quirks, but I felt as if Google Earth was kind of poorly made. I believe there is a lot of potential to make Google Earth better. The image overlays were quite helpful to help portray a better visual. I don't like how Google Earth is so slow. It takes a while to load up and lags especially when zooming in and out. I give the program credit for making something like this, but I personally don't like it and I think they have more potential to create something a little or more better. I think I could have put a little more effort in my project, and I would have if I had more time. I've been out sick a lot. I honestly dont have much for tips because the program is pretty simple to understand and get used to.
