Aurasma Project 2

Create an Aura (or series of Auras) in Aurasma that is specific to a certain location: a specific room, alley, street corner, public site, etc. The trigger image can be anything you'd like: an image in a book, a poster, a family photograph, a found image (pre-1923?), a drawing, etc. The overlay you create should add a layer of meaning or content to the trigger image and the surroundings it is found in. 

When you have finished, post an image of your location to the blog. On Monday January 30, we will journey to each location to view your site specific Auras. Please bring the digital files you used to create your Aura to class, or feel free to email me the files in advance.

to view the below, may need to point your smartphone or tablet away from each image, before focusing in on the next one. so that it can "refresh."

note:
thanks Chelsea for advice on steps to make "private" auras "public;" her instructions appear below, following the ten images.
 

Beauty – be not caused – It is –
Chase it, and it ceases –
Chase it not, and it abides –

Overtake the Creases

In the Meadow – when the Wind
Runs his fingers thro’ it –

Deity will see to it
That You never do it –

— Emily Dickinson

on making "private" auras "public" —
from the Aurasma Studio web interface:

• go into the "my auras" area and select one aura at a time
• in the upper right hand corner select "edit"
• now you should be in the editor interface where you set your trigger and overlay; click the "next" buttons until you reach the screen where you can rename your aura
• click "share" (in the same row as "next" button)
• your aura should now be public

Emma Gallant Aurasma Project 01/18/2017

Okay, so my Aurasma is EmmaGallant and this is my trigger image:

In doing this I had troubles getting the image to upload correctly (it kept rotating by 90 degrees), then my overlay wouldn't upload. After I got that working, my overlay looked blurry, so I panicked, but it looked clear on my phone when I tested it. Then, it took me half an hour to figure out how to upload my name and image onto this blog thing because nothing seemed to work for me. But it's up now.

trigger/overlay experiment: images

aurasma=jaxcushi

this worked out.
