My class and I have been talking a bit about mashups in our Museum Interpretation and Design class as we try an figure out all the possibilities we have when approaching a virtual exhibit. One student, on her own initiative, came up with a great new logo for Mashups. She titled her post with the image she created as follows: “A Little Fun with Photo Shop (ie I was bored.)” I am never that creative when I am bored. In fact, the intersection of boredom and creativity might need to be re-examined after this little gem!
