Digital Romanticism: A Pixlr Remix of "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog"

So, I have really been enjoying a new digital tool.  It is called Pixlr.  Pixlr is like an online Adobe Flash version of Adobe's Photoshop.  It is quite as nice, it doesn't have all the stuff photoshop does, but it has all the basics.  If you know how to use Adobe Photoshop, using Pixlr is almost the same.  If you want to learn how to use Photoshop and are a BYU student, BYU provides free online training at http://www.lynda.com.erl.lib.byu.edu .

Anyway,  check out this cool picture that I made with Pixlr!  In my Digital Civilization class we are preparing for the night where we will showcase our final projects.  In class we had a discussion about what we would name the evening presentation and also how we would market it.  Well... this is my idea...

Showcase evening name: Education 2.0: Teaching and Learning History Through a Digital Lens
Target audience: Other BYU students, BYU teachers, family, and friends
Marketing Strategy: Flyers/Posters to students of the above image with additional information, email to Honors Students, Advertise through the Center for Teaching and Learning, and word of mouth/Facebook.

What do you think?  Ideas?  Comments?

I plan on putting the time, date, and quick explanation  in the dark rocky part at the bottom of the image.
