Media Fluency (Revised)

Posted by Nasya Ie in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on
Tech Project (4)
I have improved my newer and better slide. I have learned how to make my slide better than my first slide. My first slide is way to cluttered and because of that there was way to much to see and can't focus on one thing. I have taken away a lot of photos and made it a bit more simpler. 
The changes I have made to improve my slide is I made my title bigger and the title is in the middle, so it can catches people's attention. I made it a bit more organized and simpler. I have made some of my photos a bit bigger and I have deleted some of photos. I also have changed that background, so it won't look to plain. 
The research is important because we need the knowledge to do it correctly. And I hope I have made my slide is way better that my first one. 

Thank you, Nasya

After getting feedback, I did my best to remake my slide that will be simple and easy to look at. In my previous slide, I wanted one of the pictures to “bleed” but it did not work very well. That was one of my main key points. In my revised slide, I added an image that had a “bleeding” effect so that my slide can pop. My other key point that was for both my previous slide and my revised slide was the font. The font was to make the slide stand out more. Also, it will be easier for people to read when they pass by. You should research because you will have more knowledge before making.

Karen Ossowski Reflection on Media Fluency

second tech slide Karen ossowski (1)

During this project i learned about different kinds of slides. You can do different colors, hence the title, moving pictures or videos, and about the different shades you do in different lights. For example, in the daytime or bright light, you should do duller or darker colors. However if you are in darker light, you should do brighter colors.

In my new slide, i didn't put too many words in and i put more visual stuff. I still kept the books but instead i put multiple books. I also changed the background to a very light gray and put a darker border of gray around the pictures.  In the slide that you see the title is supposed to be all on one line, but the size of the image messed it up.

During this project, research is very important. I say this because without it we wouldn't know what we are doing. If Ms. Hull didn't set us up to fail, we would have failed on a very important project. In the beginning when i did my research, i didn´t know how important it would be. If we didn't do research, we would have done a mess, colors would've been all over the place and we would bleed everything, etc.
Hope you like this slide better than the other one. Thanks for reading.

Media Fluency: New & Improved

According to the feedback I got. I learned that I have to keep my pictures color backgrounds similar to the rest of the pictures. In my “Fashion designing” picture, I had a tan background, unlike the other pictures which had a white background. So, I changed the picture with another picture that is also associated with fashion designing, and with a white background. Another thing I learned was to make my type really big. I made it 24 size, however there was some people that couldn’t see it, so I change it to a 36, so people could see it clear. Another thing I changed was the theme. My theme had a light pink background, with a couple squares + triangles in the right top corner that is indigo & dark blue, and the picture with my name on it, was cutting through it. So I change the theme and I don’t have those square + triangles on the top corner, so instead I have a pink & purple background. The top is pink, and the bottom purple, and I placed the 2 pictures of my passions in the bottom, and the picture of my name, and the “All about me” text above it. The last thing I changed, was the location of the “All about me” text. I placed it above the my name picture, instead of the bottom. Because according to the feedback I got, my name should be under it, so it could be read as “All about me: Amira”. Research is extremely important in the beginning of the project, because I learned lots of things that helped me understand what to do, and it came to a good result.

What I learned from doing this assignment was that when making a slide your things should be centered and should have a theme that is going to catch the viewers eye also it should not be sloppy. For my second slide I decided to just start all over because I felt I could make a better slide. For my new slide I made it plain but something that would catch the viewers eyes. Also I made sure it was centered and nothing came off the slide. It is important to do research before a project because you wont be able to meet all the requirements if you don't do research

I learned a lot about the size of text and the importance of the color of the slide. I also learned that it it good to have blank space. I also learned that you don’t have to fill the whole slide with words and that it bores the viewer. In the end I decided to change the picture and take it out. There was no point in the picture because there was no color coordination with it.

Reflection: After I analyzed everyone's slide I created this. I learned that it is good to keep everything spaced and clear. What I changed drastically is taking out all the words and describing them in pictures. Research is extremely important because the slide will be so much better because you will know what you are doing.

I lI I learned that color is really important and so is the structure of your photos. You need to make sure both are clear and pleasing to the eye. That why I changed the color of my title and changed its positioning. I also played with where the pictures as well to make sure the weren’t going off the slide. I also got rid of some photos because I thought there was too many and that they were distracting.

The Taste of the Future Slide (1)
This revised version of my first slide, is what I'm now happy with. It represents everything that should be included in a ad. Recognizing my mistakes I changed just a few things from my original. I changed the size of almost everything. The bowl was one of the major size changes because the feedback I got before, also it made sense because the size of the vegetables should be life like, but big enough to catch the viewer's attention. The middle part "of the" font was changed to a very contrasted font. It was also moved in between the top font and bottom and separated to not look like one word. This is so important to not confuse my viewers. I learned the eye most diffidently can be caught with some, but important critiques. When researching the format a graphic designer uses be sure to input them in a order that flows with your slide. Flowing is important because if your viewer can't collectively move through the ad. in a ongoing and non-confusing way then your ad. is unsuccessful.

Revised Slide (Black Holes)

Black hole Edits
                                               Revision 
My original slide has been now well edited with best of my abilities, I put everything I can out there.During this project I learned that you can never be trouble free while presenting even if you are so confidant and nothing can go wrong. You must come up with your own way of doing things. I learned that the only way to get rid of butterflies is by going all out and to do your best. I made the changes I made because it was crapped and words were everywhere. I had lot's of contract but didn't know if it was going to be appealing to the audience, many times like Ms.hull said"People will judge you for the smallest of things. I decided to get rid of one of those quotes I had and then enlarged the quote I didn't erase. I slightly moved the word "Black Holes" up so I wouldn't create a tangent. I also made these changes because I wanted to make the design more appealing to the viewers eyes. Research is very important so that you know exactly what you are talking about to the teacher and the audience. If you do research you relieve the stress on yourself as well, it also opens your mind to learn new things about the world because it's impossible to know everything. Even the most intellectual people if you look at it have only made one big discovery and leave everything else to the hands of the next generation of homospehians and that discovery get's more complex as the years go. I have learned so much about presenting because I push myself to the limit. "Don't ever give up on what you already started someone must finish the job."

My New & Improved Slide

Posted by Micah Jack in Technology - Freshman · Hull · c1 Band on
Tech (1)
I learned a lot about making detailed and intentional points through simple images in media. I liked learning how to get a clear concept across with not a lot words.
I made changes to my second slide, trying to do a better job of using the rule of thirds, as well as getting rid of all tangents that existed. I also changed up my images to make the slide look a little crisper.
Research is very important especially in a new concept like this. When you go up in front of the class I think it's important to look like you know what you are talking about as well as to backup your decision making with research you did.

Slide About Me (1)

In this new slide I enlarged my top text and made it a more contrasting color (Red). I enjoyed viewing this slide better because it it more organized and clear to read. I learned how to create something visually pleasing and legit. The research is important so that you know where to place, contrast and enlarge.

  • What you learned
- I learned that I have to make sure that my letter and words stand out so people can read it. Also, I need to make the picture to not touch the side of the slide.

  • Why you made the changes you did to your second slide
- I made sure people could see the words that I typed, so I highlighted it with a bright different color to show them. 

  • How important research is when beginning a project
-It's important because you need to make sure that you have most of the things and tips that they give you.

Through this assignment, I learned how to take a whole bunch of information and create it to be one slide with one point. In the beginning of this assignment, I thought I had to include a lot of unneeded information, but I just had to follow exact directions. I also learned how to contrast in color and at the same time, make the color fit well with following colors displayed as well. I learned how to involve different colors, texture, and value to the slide. There was also a good amount of variation of brightness. I had some rhythm which is the principle of design that indicates movement. I also learned how to follow the requirements correctly. In this case, I decided to make it visual, have one slide with one point, make the font bigger, and contrast whether it’s in shape, color, or size. Another thing I realized is that the slide should not be overwhelmed with information. This should be a billboard with certain qualities of a street billboard. The main part of this assignment allowed me to follow directions. I should do exactly what I was assigned to do. I made a couple changes to my slide. My classmates had gave me critiques in order to improve my slide to meet all of the needed requirements. This may be difficult to do at times, but it’s always good to get suggestions and feedback in order to do better. I was recommended to play with the spacing, color, and size of the words on my slide. On this second slide, I tried to do exactly that. This preparation for this slide required a lot of research which is the most important part. It’s very crucial to follow exact directions when it is given to you. If you don’t do the correct research, you could possibly be doing everything completely wrong. I learned the importance of research and doing exactly what I was asked to do.

Reflection of my slide

Posted by Georjelis Rujano in Technology - Freshman · Hull · c1 Band on

I learned about design with the designs and how they have an impact in your slide with everything you put in, that’s either words, phrases, pictures, etc… And I learned different terms to describe somebodies slide or whatever in the future we are going to do. The changes I made was because I was able to take in the critiques from my peers good and bad to fix my slide. For example the tensions I had with my pictures with the borders of the slide, and balancing the negative and positive balance in my slides with the heavy pictures. I centered my phrase to make it more straight up to view and easily to read, my peers recommended this change and I agree with them. The research was very important so you know how and why you doing what you doing, for example the tension was a common problem and balance with the positive and negative sides. Putting the pictures right so they correlate with the other things on the slide was a big part why we did the research first.

Throughout this project I learned the many new things about how to work on a slide/billboard. I learned to highlight important words to catch the viewer’s attention. To not have any pictures touching the edges of the slide.

I was able to get good feedback as well. I was told to have the background changed because I was almost like a picture so I just put as the Puerto Rican flag to make the background look better. I changed the placement of my quote and my picture as well. I always made my quote stand out more.

The only changes that made were at the bottom of my slide. I attached the arrow line to the female cartoon fighter. This adds significance because the quote has to do with the fighter. So now people understand that they are together to finish a story. The story is that there’s only one winner in the end so that’s why there’s only one fighter. A fighter must never give up and keep going. So that’s why the quotes goes with the female cartoon fighter.

Some things I learned is that there is a guideline to follow in creating a visual display. To make sure you take take all the rules into consideration when creating a billboard. Another thing is you must not to clutter your space with many things because then your audience will start to lose focus of the message you want to get to them. Lasly, things I took away from doing this project was that not everything is going to be perfect you wanna play with it. Also things like color choice, empty space and tangents are like a no no when creating a billboard.

The changes I made I feel were all necessary for my process. From looking at my old slide one can tell that I started fresh and used nothing from my old slide. Being that I wanted someone to see this and know exactly what my billboard was about I decide to have less things. The big change I made was the fact that I added a border so it emphasises the picture in the middle. I also decided to change the gymnastics move that the girl was doing. Being that my slide now is very basic I decide that I would use this picture to show the complex within the slide. The last change I added was playing more with the empty space.

It is important to do research  when beginning a project because it gives you a sense of knowledge on the task at hand. In doing this project it would not be what it is today if not for research. Also in doing this feel like research helped me to put my thoughts all together.

1.I learned that my slide didn't have a good contrast before but adding shade to the picture made it better.
2.I out the myself in the middle because I wanted that word to mainly be viewed by the eye. I put the other words on the sides but not too far for the density of the space.
3.I realized that research is really important because the words you use to explain your slide are important and unique in how you pick them to exactly describe how you made your slide.

Media Fluency: Reflection

Posted by Mariel Bonet-Lopez in Technology - Freshman · Hull · c1 Band on
I learned that you should be very careful with the design. For example, in my last slide it wasn't properly centered. In this one I made sure everything was even. That's why I put the pictures where they are so it would be well centered. I also learned not to add so much text. I decided to focus on the visual aid because of this, which is why I added pictures and had less words. In my last slide I feel like the color pink didn't really fit me and made the slide more childish, so I had more empty spaces and chose white for a more mature theme. I tried to separate the colors within the pictures because 2 were colorful and the other 3 were black and white. This is why the color is more to the top and the non-colorful is towards the bottom. I did a lot of research before starting which helped me plan out my thoughts well but I feel like if I would've done more research it would've helped me to be more organized.

Reflection on Media Fluency

I learned that my slides shouldn’t include the “price” when it’s not useful, like here, or a product argument, like here also, because that takes some place and we need the letters to be the biggest as possible. Also I feed a blank on the corner, between the image and the corner, so the whole slide is more “united”. But, all in all, the people of my group found it alright so I didn’t have a lot of stuff to improve. I learned that my slide needs to be very very polished to be really clean, visual and sweet.

This is my new slide after receiving well-spoken critiques. The biggest change to my slide was the background because my previous one wasn't interesting. My new background contains various blue colors to compliment the font while not stealing all the attention away from the words. My second change was the amount of words I had in my poem which I reduced by half. The reason for this change was due to the fact that the poem was too long to keep anyone's attention which was said by the audience. I learned that so much idea and expression can be told by one well designed slide. Doing research is very important on a project because knowing what to do and how to do it will make things a whole lot easier. 

Reflection on Media Fluency

Posted by Mary Lamb on

Through this project, I learned how to take constructive criticism, and some common elements of design. I also learned how to better critique someone’s slide. I made a lot of changes to my slide, but I think the essence of what I wanted to get across is still there. I kept my name really big because I  wanted it to pop. My name is a big part of my life so it seemed only fitting that the eye was drawn to it. Before, my slide was sort of all over the place, with things here in there with no real purpose except to convey my interests. I did not use my space effectively. My new slide is much simpler, with the text at the bottom and one interest of mine in each column following the rule of thirds. I tried to even out my spacing. The green and blue sections are used to draw your eyes to the text. They cut the page in thirds as well. Overall, I just wanted to make my design more purposeful the second time around. Research is very important when beginning a project. If you do not research, you will not be able to back up your opinions with facts. Research is about being prepared to show what you learned.
