Week 5 - Reflection (& link to assignment)

This week, we take another direction by focusing on graphic designing. We designed a brochure (on 21st Century Skills) using Microsoft Publisher, and also the booklet function (under "layout") in Microsoft Office.

This is the main assignment. But before that, we learnt about 2D graphic editing software - the types (bitmap and vector images), and the different formats (JPEG, TIFF, GIFF, BMP, etc.)

We also learnt how to use Microsoft Paint, explored the use of Shapes in Microsoft PowerPoint, and used OpenOffice Draw (OSS).

Finally, after obtaining all these skills, we proceeded to designing the brochure and booklet.

The link to where we uploaded these materials is as follows:

Honestly, I enjoyed doing this assignment as I felt that it was an interesting one. And with the new implementation of KSSR (and soon, KSSM), our education system is moving towards that direction - towards Creativity & Innovation. Thus, I felt that this is a relevant assignment that could enhance that element.

Besides that, we had a lot of fun in designing different types of images - mostly through trial and error basis. We also edited a few images that we found online. Again, this is a very useful skill that we need, as we would certainly need to design posters, brochures, pamphlets, etc. for various projects in the future.

On the whole, we both have gained a lot of experience through this assignment this week. Hope more fun stuff is coming up! ~
