What steps have you completed thus far?

The step that I completed was all of my blog entry and brainstorming how my project is going to look. I also found some pictures,graphics and cartoons that I might use in my project.

In what ways could your work be improved?

One way my work can be improve is by finding more cartoon as well as trying to come up with better saying inside of my card because to me it doesn't relate to the consumer and its not very creative.

The grade I would give myself for criteria F is a 4 or 5 out of 6 because I did all of my blog but somewhat I didn't get what the blog was asking me to do and I try to be creative with my saying, my consumer and my pictures. I have a positive attitude in technology by not disturbing the class.

I work to the best of my ability because I try to make the poster come alive and I try to find the prefect color as well as image that can relate to the title and the definition.

Blog Entry # 1.13 - Create Evaluation (E)

One problem I encounter I was trying to be creative with my poster. I fix this problem by highlighted the title of balance with green. One new technology skill I learned during this project was highlighted my front and coloring the front with one color. I would use this skill in my English class because we somewhat design poster all we might use PowerPoint. I would also use it again in technology in case we are dealing with adobe illustrator.

Blog Entry # 1.12 - Investigate Design/Plan (E)

One change that was made in my final posters was background color and front color because in my sketches I had different front color and background color. I couldn't use rainbow as my background color because too many colors are destructed and I couldn't use my original front color because I needed the front color to match with the background color. there were changes but I think I handle it well.

Blog Entry # 1.11 - Investigate Evaluation (E)

I added some ideas from the other posters (successories) into my own poster by using black as my front color not my background color. I also use big letters for my titles just like the other poster and i added times new roman as my front. However, I added my own style to all of my posters. Basically I had more of my own design and I use a little to the successories posters.

Blog Entry # 1.10 - Product Evaluation (E)

I can improve my project design by adding different front and trying to add two color and not one color because I want my poster to come out nice and not too plain. Another way I can improve my poster is trying add more pictures that matches the color of the poster, as well as coloring the front.

Blog Entry # 1.8 - Final design (D)

The front I use is new york time and script because the front went with my poster and we didn't had enough time to work on it plus I'm looking for a good looking front that everyone can read.
The "Balanced" poster was the best design because I added more color and the picture looks great. My layout choice was finding color for all of my poster and trying to make my poster come alive with the picture. I will create these poster by trying add color ans a front that look nice and it's easy to read.

Blog Entry # 1.7- Design Specification

Blog Entry # 1.6 - Design Brief (A)

I am going to design and make a voting policy because sometime my groups will argue about how they want their poster to look like, and taking a vote will break up that argument so we could continue to work on the rest of the IB learner profile.Taking a vote would make us continue working on the other IB learner profiles and not waste time in one IB learner profile.
The design would basically help me and my group make correct decision of what were going to write, how were going to take pictures and not wasting time in one subject. I have been told that a majority vote will end with discussion of the type of thing we want to make or solve.
This method is rough but also easy and it would function for a group of people working on something.
