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!
