Scrapbooking Cluster

I found that doing the cluster for my project idea helped me to organize my thoughts a little bit. There are so many aspects to scrapbooking that you really don't realize until you map them out. Some of the parts are essential only to the actual hands on scrapbooking (such as the materials and space to scrapbook), while other parts represent the idea of scrapbooking (creativity, sharing stories). Most of the things I came up with refer to both the actual experience, as well as the digital one that I would like to create. For example, the digital scrapbooks will take time and creativity to make. The user will still be scrapbooking the same content, which will include the events. Sharing is one of the aspects that I plan on expanding on in a digital community. There should be a way for other scrapbookers to not only easily share stories, but to also share layouts and ideas as well. Some of the most important aspects of scrapbooking are to preserve and share memories, as well as to be creative and have fun. These are concepts that I will need to keep fresh in my mind as I work on this project, making sure to not lose sight of what scrapbooking is really meant for.
