Media and Design Ignite Presentation

Slide 1:Hello, my name is Autumn Richardson. I am in the eleventh grade at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber.  For my ignite presentation I will be talking about my Media and Design projects and some changes made to them. First stop will be my website.

Slide 2:For my website I decided to talk about my view of Philadelphia. I have never created a website before so this was definitely a first. The goal was to make an efficient website that included a project page, about me page, a resume page, and a welcome page. For my welcome page I included a brief description of what you would see if you visited my website.

Slide 3:Like I have said in the beginning the welcome page is one of the changes I have made in this project.  At first the welcome page was pretty dull and mediocre. I tried to use a live background but it was delayed and when the text moved and background moved it was too much and confusing.

Slide 4: So this project was not really successful because my goal was to make a better website that was more colorful and lively. That worked and attracted attention to those that visited my page. I wanted the website to look legit. Although I struggled with project one I did better with project 2.

Slide 5: This was my Quarter 2 project, this was the final project but I can reassure you that it didn’t look like that at first. It took much time to achieve this.

Slide 5:For quarter 2 the project I did was Graphic Design. The goal was to create a road sign that represents either a real or fictional situation or direction(s). Your sign should not contain words. Use images and symbols to convey your message.

Slide 6: Now, I had many complications with this project because at first I was using pixlr. Pixlr and I don’t get along. It would delete my work after I saved it, the over tools just sucked in general and this was my outcome using it. A hot mess, I couldn’t submit this and feel proud of it so I decided to use another website that could help me make a better picture while getting my point across.

Slide 7: This is a before and after as you can see using pixlr just really sucked so after using another webiste it got better and I submitted good work, or at least good to me.

Slide 8: The video can be a powerful messenger and a quick way to share a laugh, an idea or make a statement. The video was to be 1 to 3 minutes and follow the copyright laws.

Slide 9: At first I was confused I didn’t know what to do the video on. I like to draw, but I didn’t want to do that. I like to dance, but I didn’t want to do that either. I was pretty much lost up to the second checkpoint with no idea to create a video.

Slide 10: One day before class at lunchtime I was thinking what could I do because checkpoint three was due today. Then I had this idea what if I could do a news segment and it would be better if I worked with a partner. The video came out ok, but since it was so late and we started so late the quality wasn’t that good. I decided to edit the video over and make it better.

Slide 11: The picture you see before you is the a revision of the Website Project. The welcome page is one of the changes I have made in this project.  At first the welcome page was pretty dull and mediocre. I tried to use a live background but it was delayed and when the text moved and background moved it was too much and confusing.

Slide 12: I decided to make a new menu, change the background, changed the description, and color of font so that it could be more appealing to someone that visited my website. I chose to do this project over because I didn’t like the finished product. I also added another page to the website. This page is about the Video Project I did in Quarter 3.

Slide 13: So this is the before and after and there is an obvious change like I had explained previously. I feel more proud of this finished project because it looks more appealing than the last one. Also I corrected the things that brought down my grade.

Slide 14: My highpoint of the Media and Design class was creating a Graphic Design because in that project I reflected learned from my mistakes and fixed them. I received help from my peers that helped me make a better project and actually enjoyed making it.

Slide 15: An area of growth from the Media and Design class was making the video. I know which is ridiculous because in SLA we make videos for every class, but I struggled making the video and I still don’t know how to use the tools, but I did my best I wish I could have applied myself more and had the checkpoints turned in on time.

Slide 16: A skill or technique you learned this year that I could use outside of this class was being confident in what you present because if you’re not confident in what you have others won’t see it as good. Also I never knew how to make a website so if I ever have a business or some type of organization I can advertise it by making a website.

Slide 17: A project that you could have next year could be making a business and successfully advertising it, which may include graphic design, so like a sign, a website to advertise that business or item, and use the 3D printer to make a prototype of the item you will be selling.

Slide 18:Tip one stay on time, for class, for the checkpoint, and for the project. This is for all classes. Time management is extremely important.

Slide 19: Tip two think outside the box don’t trap yourself in anything the more you use your imagination the better the project will come out. Don’t limit yourself to what you're given, if you have the opportunity to do better do better.

Slide 20: Tip three remember what you are taught because you might have to use these tools later in life. Don’t forget what you learned in this class because something might be beneficial in the future, whether it was a project, a comment someone made, or even life lessons learned you learned in the class.
