You can all access to one document and edit at the same time. You can edit any where as long as you have an internet connection (if you don’t have internet connection you are not able to access).

Fireworks

Fireworks is a software where you can edit pictures and create banners. You have a choice of editing a picture that you already own and import in on Fireworks or you can start from scratch and create an original piece of graphical art. In our ICT lessons, we have done three different projects.

Remastering the Masters

Blue ProjectI did the Personal Homepage Promote. We had to make a page where we had to include pictures that represents yourself. During this project I learned further more about masking in Fireworks. it was very easy once I got the hand of it. Also adding effects on images and making it transparent. I learned how to mask by watching the video on the Atomic Learning website.

Remastering the Masters

Pink ProjectI did the self portrait in my Pink Project. My job was to collect a picture of myself only and create a portrait of me. I used the skill masking and making transparent alike the previous Blue Project. I learned these technique by asking my friend and watching the video. I learnt more about collecting images and I learned that collecting images from Facebook isnt a good idea because it gets into bad quality image.

Remastering the Masters

Yellow ProjectI did the School Homepage Banner. We had to make the

banner form few frames where we had to calculate the speed for each frame. My main skill was to convert the .png into .gif. I learned this technique by going on Atomic Learning and watching the video appropriate.

Apology: due to technical problem, the banner isn't possible to play.

30 second Ad

We made a 30 second advertisement of our choice with a partner using the software; Audacity. We had to record our voices and then edit, add music effect, etc... Make our ad exactly 30 second. Then we had to upload as MP3 player. My partner and I did an advertisement to Winter Choco Pocky and collected royalty free music download page.
