Interesting Web Sites

I almost forgot about this task (and I wasn't the only one) but this one was about linking to websites you find interesting. I guess thats a bit obvious, however this task was like a recap from the previous task we've done before with the vegetables (that feels like ages ago now).

The top image is the homepage of the presentation, showing you the various different images and websites you can access. All you do is click on one of the images...

You are then directed to a different page with a bigger version of the image. Click it again and it should open up your internet brower...

And there you have it!

Quite easy to do, huh? Hyperlinking in Microsoft Powerpoint is more easier than it may sound.

Posters for ITQ Info Promotion

I was able to complete this task before my work experience (boy, haven't I been busy?), and I was very happy with how it came out. These were posters I made for this course, I worked with two other students in my class for this task. I did most of the poster work along with someone else, and I must say that she did good.

These posters are still hanging up right now on display, its a weird feeling when you see your work being shown in public (well, its only on a red board in some third floor hallway... but still).

Oh and by the way, I did all this in Serif DrawPlus X2. A very handy piece of software indeed.

Paint the Wall!

This task was a little different from the others, since it involved maths and stuff. Unfortunately for me, Maths isn't my strongest point but luckily the tutor tried his best to help me out with understanding it.

All we had to do was to answer the questions (well, we were handed the answers, however we had to do it in our own words) and create pie charts on Excel. Originally I was going to do the second picture in Excel (the one in the second pic) but I had problems with that. Instead, I used some text boxes to make the squares and simply changed their colours. Sneaky, aren't I?

Even though maths is something I'm not good at, I at least learnt something from the task, and thats always a good thing!

Crop and Change

Another simple task I had to do, but its more of an example. This task is for one of my tutors to show that I can do cropping and other various things. I also needed to show the details of each picture, like the file size and name.

File Name: yellowflower.00

Image Size: 2304x3456

File Size: 1.65MB

What I did to it: Nothing, this is the original image.

File Name: yellowflower.04
Image Size: 2304x3456
File Size: 1.52MB
What I did to it: I added a halftone effect to it, along with a motion blur, and some greyscale.

File Name: yellowflower.03
Image Size: 1746x1746
File Size: 896 KB
What I did to it: I cropped it to make it look more appealing and it looks like it stands out, almost something you may see used for a poster perhaps.

ITQ Newsletter

This is a newsletter I had to do as some form of learning on how to layout newsletters appropriately, with the right fonts, sizes, and images. You may have notcied that the text is a bunch of gibberish, which it is, its just random text to fill in the void of the newsletter. I needed to do two pages of it and I found it easy to do despite some errors on fonts and sizes (which are now fixed).

Logos

I had to do some logos of different things around the college, mainly subjects like sports, art & design, hair & beauty etc (eg, the pic above this paragraph). As I was lucky enough to know how to draw most things for over a decade, this task was really fun for me! Here's all the rest of the pics I had done:

You must be asking where I drawn all of these pictures... well, I drew them all in Serif DrawPlus X2. Also, all these pictures were drawn by mouse, and not a tablet pen (which I tend use more for digital artwork).

The software was surprisingly easy to use, despite not using a mouse for digital artwork for quite a number of years now so I'm proud of how it all turned out. I wonder if these'll be put up around the college? Haha, I have my doubts but it could be possible, along with other peoples logos.

Party Plan

A simple task I had to do, it was to plan a party and time each step roughly and how long it will take. Theres not too much to say here apart from being a fairly straight-forward task, it was fun whilst it lasted.
