Research

I am still doing my research to get informations needed for my infographics.

New project - Infographics

In our IT class we have recently started investigating on infographics which is a great tool for presenting a set of information in an outstanding way.

I have completed my first assignment part a, which was to research how infogrtaphics are used and what type of ingormations they present.

My project

 This is the initial attempt of my project. I have got a picture of super market and a picture of a wild animal, a giraffe. I also got a picture of a dark supermarket store which apparently looks like it's deserted.
Because I had an apocalyptic art work as my theme, I put this two images together by using photo shop.I used the magic wand to crop out the giraffe and placed it on the supermarket background. But it looked very artificial and awkward at first. So I have blurred the edges and parts of this giraffe to make it look more realistic.

 

This is my final out come. tadahhhhh :)

 



Continuing IT project

Now, I will continue with my IT project again.

According to the project outline that I have set, my first task is to investigate famous places around the world and get the pictures of that place in order to use it as a background of my project, post apocalyptic art work.

So, today, I have researched about certain famous places around the world and got the images that I need.

Science fair works

Today in IT class I worked on science fair project. My science fair theme changed because our experiment failed. So I started a new one which is 'how can you memorise a car plate well. I did some research as well as collecting results from experiments.'

Science fair research

Today in my IT class I have done research using internet to find some background informations for my science fair project. It is about relationship of radio frequency and our health!!

Project plan

Today on IT class I have tried to look for a project that I could do according to my theme which is post apocalypse. Looking at the art works in the links of research that I did last week, I thought it would be really interesting to create an art work by myelf using the them post apocalypse.

<Project plan to make a post apocalypse art work>

- First by looking at the arto works I could tell that the art work was made by mixing together the real aspect of the world with imaginary features, which would be the effects of disasters that caused apocalypse. For example the staute of liberty buried down under deep in the sea.
-------> I would investigate places around the world that is known by many people
-------> I will then start to collect pictures of these locations that will be used to create my art work
-------> Then I will research effects natural disasters and disasters caused by human
-------> I will find a feature that, if added to the prior pictures of certain locations would make a disctinct post apocalypse art work.
-------> Photoshop will be used to add the features on to the prior picture

Change in theme

Change in theme.

I was doing some internet research and I realised that I was more interested in another theme, which was post apocalypse. This theme would be appealing to anyone nowadays.

This lesson in school I was basically researching about the learning path that I've chosen, which is making logos in different ways. I reasearched mainly how to use photo shops and I found really interesting and useful sites. :)
