Unit 14/5 1CD - Evaluation
- How useful was your research into publishing, and real digitally published products? Did this help you with written style, layout, content, mode of address?
- Evaluate the process of originating, pitching and amending your ideas. Did peer feedback help? Teacher feedback? Which changes did you make?
- How successful was the drafting and re-drafting of the written pieces? How well did you use written style, language, mode of address? Give examples from your written pieces.
- Evaluate the pre-production portfolio- did that help you organise time, models, and resources?
- Evaluate your skills in image manipulation (Photoshop), photography, graphic design (Illustrator) and Desk Top Publishing (InDesign). Use technical language and draw on examples from your work.
- How well did you store your written material? For example did you take hand-written notes / electronic; name it appropriately using various formats; back up your work; upload; reference sources / check for copyright.
My research into publishing and real digitally published products had helped me because it had labelled out each specific thing I needed to include in my article, so when I searched for specific websites talking about specific London foods, it gave me all the information needed such as; type of food, restaurant, location, reviews, pricing & times (also the same for tourism) and this had really helped me for my own article, because I then knew what I could include, and give all the new tourists the correct information too. I also searched for article layouts and their written styles, and this research helped me a lot too, because I deciding between doing it formal or humorous, and either double page spread or single, and since I had created like a guessing game, the double page spread one seem really useful for my idea, as I could fit everyone on it nicely, including the game too and searching between different articles with different written styles, helped me choose which one I feel like will get the most attention, and would be good for me and therefore, I chose to do it as humorous as it appeals more to audiences, and makes reading easier and fun. This also goes along same for the mode of address, because it helps me contrast between the written style towards the audience, and how I can also engage with the audience, and I've made the game to engage them, and used English language such as rhetorical questions etc.
With pitching, originating and amending my ideas, I did it successfully because I had made rough copies, and then mock ups of similar article styles than I got my teacher and friends to look at it, and got good review, but people said include more information, add the actual article and pictures. I wrote up my two articles, and my teacher checked them and then I got feedback saying it just needs some amendments things such as; rewording, removing some sentences, fixing some punctuations. This helped me create a good, clear well written article, so when I implement it on my double page spread, it will look professional and will be considered as a proper, professional article for people to read.
With drafting I had made two different styles of adaptations on my article, so with my food one I had made it so it fits two different audiences of age; elderly, younger etc. And then I had made a humorous style one and then I made another two, more formal and a shorter one, this is so it fits other age ranges, such as elderly, teenagers, children, & adults. But in the end I chose to create it as humorous style and aim it adults, and families. I also ensured I used correct language, and that my chosen written style actually follows that style, and finally, the mode of address fits the correct audience of age range too. So overall, I think my drafting and re drafting was successful, because I didn't need to really redraft again and again, I just needed to choose which one I wanted, and fix up some errors as a whole.
The pre-production portfolio helped me organise my work & resources properly, and help me have set time with completing all my work, because it listed out step by step of things I need to complete, and what I've completed and then I can evaluate how much time I've used for what each specific areas, and therefore, if I need to adjust my work pace or my time limit on each area. It also allows me to having everything I need in one area, and ensure its all in order and whether if I need it, I can come back and fourth to it easily.
My skills in image manipulation are good, because I complete my article and edited everything in Photoshop, I know how to use Photoshop well, and I used all different type of tools such as; the magic wand tool, gradient, eraser, lasso, resizing, overlay, and text features like stroke, gloss, curved text, bold, italic, different font styles and applying gradient colours on the font too.
I believe my written material was stored well, because I write everything up on Blogger and save it as a draft so I can come back next time to it, and since it's on my Gmail account on the internet, I can access it anywhere at anything, and complete it away from college too. I also store things on words, so the written material on blogger, I copy and paste it on to word and check everything it well (punctuation, any mistakes etc) and then I save that on the school folder in specific folders label under; unit 10/4 1CD and then another folder with another label of ;Written pieces. This helps me ensure I can keep my material safe, and organised in one area, making it easier for me to go back to next time. Also, with writing my material up on blogger, I save it often to ensure it doesn't get deleted if anything happens.
