1 Second Tutorial Activity (Reproduce a printed advertisement)......

This is my second tutorial activity (Reproduce a printed advertisement). This week, I learn to reproduce an advertisement. Firstly, I searched for a printed advertisement from the newspaper. After searching for a period of time, I selected a printed advertisement that contains the most pictures, colours and texts. Then, by using PowerPoint, I started to retype all the information and texts. I used Wordart to design the important words such as "Sunday", "Super Special" and "Valid on 10 Jan 2010 only" in the advertisement. After that, I searched for some pictures from the internet. I used Google search engine to look for the pictures. I saved all the pictures and upload them into the PowerPoint. I continued again by changing the background colour of the PowerPoint. Then, I arranged everythings in the PowerPoint in order. Before saving it, I had a final touch up. I saved my PowerPoint as JPEG file format. Finally, I upload the advertisement into my blog for evaluation. Below is what I got. A printed advertisement that reproduced by me. So, now I'm going to answer some questions from the task. These are my answers: I get most of the pictures from the internet by using Google search engine. I used PowerPoint only when I reproduced this advertisement. I don't actually type very fast. I think that I am a moderate typist. I never use the help tools such as spell check and grammar check. Usually, I check all the spelling and grammar by myself. I will refer to the grammar books when I have some grammatical problems and I will also refer to the dictionary when I have words that I'm not confirm with their spelling. When I reproduce this advertisement, I used the graphic features in the PowerPoint to help me. The graphic features such as shadow, reflection, shape and so on really help me a lot. After I finished everythings, I asked my friends for their personal opinion. My friends really teach me a lot especially when I have problem to upload the advertisement into my blog. They taught me to save the PowerPoint as JPEG file format so that I can upload it. In my personal opinion, I think that I'm a moderate typist and designer. I really need to learn more and practice more in order to become a better typist and designer in future. So, I give myself 6 marks only. Thanks.....
