Infographic

       I chose the topic of make-up and shoes. I thought this was a fun and creative idea; also when thinking of my idea, I had a ideas on how to form infographics from many of the items. This project was actually really fun and I'm glad I got to do it because it made me think more creatively. My favorite graphics are the one of Jessica Biel and the mineral make-up. These were my favorites because the Jessica Biel one required my to cut two of her faces unequally (17.6%, 82.4%). It was kind of hard, but I thought my end product was worth it :) I also liked the mineral make-up graphic because I found two different ways to portray the percents in one infographic using two images. This also made me be more creative. I liked my project idea and I think that's what made it more fun. All in all, I think this is a good project for future classes.

EMBER

A car crash? Let's make a little more trouble...
     Quinn Anderson ducked behind an alley to transform into Ember. Shedding her day clothes, she revealed her black and red suit, complete with an emblazoned double infinity sign. Taking a running leap, she flew into the air. 
     Forming her hands together, she made a fire ball. Hovering between her hands, she looked around for the perfect shot. The passenger had already evacuated the car...darn...
Fine, let's make some fireworks...
     Ember flung her arms out, unleashing the mega fire ball, creating exactly what she'd hoped. Beneath her, shrill screams of fear erupted. 
     After about 5 minutes of watching the chaos and adding a few more fireballs, look who turns up....Slashingo.

UPDATE:
SLASHINGO
FLYING ABILITY, PART LIZARD, EARTH-BASED, INVISIBILITY
ENEMY

*whistle* "Hey Slashingo! Up here!"
Slashingo, seeing Ember, shoots up and immediately shoots venom.
Ember dodges to the right with time to spare. 
"Is that all you've got?"
Slashingo shoots again, missing Ember again.
"What do you want with these innocent people, Ember?" Slashingo says, his voice laced with poison. 
"Oh, you know, just had some free time before my next commitment....kinda bored to be honest," Ember says with a smirk.

After some more fire and poison battle, Ember's hit.
"Ughh, " says Ember as she's thrown against a wall.
Slowly prying herself off, and covering her bloody right side, she says, "Was that really necessary?"
Touching her hair, she says, "And in my hair, Slashingo? You should really know better!"

Summoning a giant fire-ball up into the night sky, Ember sends it down onto a skyscraper, causing chaos everywhere.

"There! That should keep you occupied Slash!"

Slash, torn between what to do, takes the "high road", and goes to help the innocent civilians. 

Ember, still in pain and bloody managed to dart in and out of the alley to grab her stuff. Despite being indestructible, recovery still took a while. That night, Quinn Anderson, returned to her human state, made some plans to deal with Slash....once and for all.
