2.1 I can review the on-going use of IT tools and techniques and change the approach as needed
When you was a year 7, what piece of software would you usually use to make posters?
I used paint.
What have you used for the posters(Imaging Software) you have made on this course?
When i came to small heath school i started using fireworks 8.
what things can you do better using this new software?
I can do more stuff using magic tool and fill category which paint does not have.
Name your 1 favourite tool you have been using in this new software and WHY it is so useful.
My favourite tool is the fill category tool because i can could design by posters background and make eye catching.
In Imaging software what was wrong with a particular image that you cut out from another picture in order to use?
the original picture had a background that never matched the colour scheme i wanted so i use the selection tool and magic wand to delete the background on the original picture.
What did you do in order to get a cleaner cut?
I used the eraser tool to clean the image.
Why is it important to get a clean cut?
It is important because it makes it look in a good quality.
When you saved your poster originally the poster size was quite big(file size). Why was this?
The poster size was big because the quality was high.
What did you have to do to reduce the file size?
I saved the image as JPEG format which compresses the file and reduces quality. This also means it reduces the file size.
Why was it better to reduce the file size of the poster?
So it saves more file size and the webpage can load quicker.
