A3 Submission Success!

Greetings fellow reader!

Today the blog stars was Matt B and me! (My third time!). The "Amazing Adam" and others pointed out that we used detailed level 3 English skills. Afterwards, we were set a visual challenge where we had to create three different representations of the words "consistency", "design", and "formatting". I used Photoshop and used my creativity to represent these words thoroughly. My idea was to implement what I had learnt previously (colour theory) into a manipulated image (a box), which is what the majority of the class did. I used the "Marquee Tool" from Photoshop to select specific sections for new layers and toggled the Hue & Saturation individually.

My Visual Representation of "Design".

Whilst the class was pursuing the task, Adam spoke to a few individuals including myself on certain topics. I was told that I had almost reached distinction in D1 in A1 and was therefore encouraged to do better next time. I became much more motivated with the will to achieve higher.

Eventually, Brandon was told to present the quiz he was told to create last week. However, he perhaps had forgotten and therefore was very unprepared. This led to many technological issues and confusion. Other than that, he re-used the quiz we each created last week about colour theory and quizzed the whole class. (The person with the lowest score is the one who has to create the quiz for next week). In the end, I scored a seven out of ten and Matthew Thorndyke lost the rock, paper, scissors game.

After a period of time, the "Amazing Adam" explained to us the pros and cons of proof reading our own or other people's work. As a result, we switched computers with a nearby student and proof read each other's work. I had very minor issues with just a few grammatical errors. On the other hand, I helped Jordan (who proof read my work) by listing some things he missed and needs to do. By proof reading other people's work, there is a "second mind" reading your work, according to the "Amazing Adam". Which means that they can spot out our mistakes that we believe is to be correct. This is truly beneficial.

After correcting our own work, we continued to finish our design logs. However, I had been proactive at home and had done a lot of work outside of the center, which means I am ahead of many others. This gave me an advantage to move onto further tasks. This includes putting my asset creations in PowerPoint and uploading my asset in a .JPEG and .PSD file format in the students write area. As a result, I submitted my design log and PowerPoint along with moving files across.

All Files Sorted

Overall, I was the first to finish therefore I am now currently writing this blog early. It was a quick day and this may be the first time I leave early. With the spare time I have remaining, I tidied up my folders and named each file appropriately.
