Planning stages for my project


 Planning stages for my project

health and safety issue standard health and safety issues apply wich are no eating and drinking in a classroom

the resources i will need are a computer with photoshop, a colour printer and a camera

the space/ venue for this will be somewhere that we know would be doing work example music hall or class room

it would only take us a few minutes to get the pictures buit the longest parts will be actually uploading the pictures from the camera to the computer. and

first we we need a template for were the photos text the headings etc would be placed in accordance with what we have done

I will be responsible for they layout of the poster here are a few ideas. that I will suggest for  our group to do
A good poster usually makes you look at it awhile here is an example of one that was used in the past it makes you look longer than usual


after agreeing on the template i will look for some cleaver posters that have already been created and use them like a baseline so i have an idea on what i want the finished product to possibly look like

  

the main thing people focus on are the things that are just off centre as it gets your attention the most most good ad companies use this princable these days. As back then companies were unable to use pictures of the specific product. so they had to resort to cleaver advertising


i will then go around with jodie who will be taking pictures to help decide on what they should be and if thy will fit into the poster when we put everything together


here are some of the pictures that Jodie has taken and i used three of these in my poster that i have created with help from Jodie
















i have put it into photoshop to finish

Review of my Supervised Leadership Project

The software that i have used is adobe Photoshop to put the poster together and chrome because i needed use of a internet browser. the crew in this project are Jodie and me. it took awhile to finish because more pictures were needed to be taken..

I was responsible for making the poster choosing the layout of how it looks.
I decided that i would put a liquid blue effect as it would help the content on the poster stand out. I also put a few pictures onto the poster to show some people working in the course

How well I worked with others
there was three people in my team me Jodie and James. me and Jodie have worked well together. James has not been in since the first week of this specific project. so had to come up with the plan etc between us. we worked well together because the work that we were doing was put into a public folder so if one of us were not in the other person could easily get the work that was put into the public folder

this is the finished product that we have finished.together I would be  responsible of how the poster would initially look meaning the title the text background color how to make the pictures that Jodie would take stand out.etc while Jodie was responsible for going out and getting/taking the pictures needed for the poster.

To be in charge of this project felt good because I could have the layout how i wanted it instead of having to deal with someone else idea that i may have disagreed with it but still using there idea.

it was good working with Jodie because she wanted to go out and take the pictures and I wanted to do the layout we both decided to do what we were good with so we quickly decided what we were going to be doing and got this specific task complete quickly.

we set out to make a good quality poster together and i think we manged to do it do a good standard so i think that me and Jodie managed to work well as a team and made a good poster.

It was really easy for us to work together because we worked live in a classroom. We did not have to leave notes on what to do for other members of our team.

Peer Review and Reflection
i am pleased how the poster had turned out because i didn't expect it to be good so it turned out better then i had originally thought that it would

here is the finished poster that i used photoshop to make my poster

Below is a link to my online wall on padlet where I have uploaded the finished poster for feedback from my peers, showing that I have shared the work with others. I have also included my response and review on these comments.
