I was having a lot of trouble downloading Inkscape, despite extensive trouble shooting, following tutorials, and a trouble shooting thread on Reddit. I kept running into technical difficulties so I decided to try something else. I downloaded an app called “iDoodle” on my iPhone and tried drawing circles and arrows onto my different photos on the app, but they looked a bit messy and unprofessional. I looked up how to insert arrows and circles on Microsoft Word and found that it was relatively easy, so I chose to use Microsoft Word. I found a picture of the campus map on google by searching “Umass campus map.” I found a picture that was already cropped to a fitting segment that included the Student Union and the Biology Computer Resource Center, so I chose to use this image as my part A. I pasted it into a Word Document. For part B, I pasted the picture I took of the Student Union, and circled the pot that I found the spider on by clicking “Insert,” “Shapes,” and then “Oval” on Word, and then unfilling the oval so that it was just an outline that I could place around the pot (rather than a solid oval that would block the pot.) I changed the color of the oval from white to red. Next, for part C, I added the picture I took of the pot for reference. I added two thick red arrows pointing toward the precise location of the spider web on the pot, in between the two ridges where it was nestled. I added the arrows by clicking, “Insert,” “Shapes,” and then “Arrow.” I changed the font to red and the size of the arrows to be thicker. Lastly, I added the photograph that I took of the spider itself. I created another red oval and placed it directly around the spider, but I manipulated it by dragging the edges with my cursor so that the oval was more of a circle, which was better suited for the shape to put around the spider. I then created a textbox in the upper left corner of each of my images, filled in each textbox to have a solid white fill, and typed “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D,” respectively in each box. I bolded the font and made it size 48, then put a space before each letter to center the letter in the text box. I took a screenshot on my MacBook (pressing Command+Shift+4) to save it as a PNG.
