Birthday Party Invite
This was first unit we did (Microsoft Word) and the last little assignment we got was to make a birthday party invitation. I used Microsoft Word for the basic stuff like typing out an essay and such. While doing this, I learned how to add in different backgrounds using colours, gradients, pictures, etc. I also learned how to add custom fonts from the Internet. I enjoyed making the invitation because I got to make it hockey themed and have it take place at the Winter Classic. I added a snowy background to represent the "Winter" part of where it was going to take place. Then, I added a custom font called "Frosty" because I thought it would go along with the winter theme as well. I finished off by colour coordinating with the text and adding some pictures. I think it turned out pretty good for being a beginner!

Technology Devices
We used excel to make graphs for our surveys; this was a partner assignment. The topic we picked was "how many pieces of technology do you have in your household". Then, we surveyed about 50 people from our different classes. We learned how to make graphs in excel, which made this whole assignment a lot easier. We entered in the data for the different surveys we did and we saw the results right away. Take a look at the slideshow for the results!

Business Card
We used fireworks for this assignment and it wasn't something I used before. It reminded me of Microsoft paint, but better. During this assignment I learned how to use Adobe Firework. I enjoyed making my business card because if I ever have to make one for someone, I know how to. Since we also had to turn our logo into an animated gif, I decided to do something that I'd like and that would be cool to animate. So I did a skateboarding star and it turned out really cool! If i could work on this assignment again I would try to make it look more professional, but for a beginner I thought I did a good job!

Photoshop Activities
I made a Prezi to show off my work that I did on Photoshop. Take a look!

My Movie Poster
This was one of my favourite assignments that we did the whole course. We made movie posters using Adobe Photoshop and it was a lot of fun. We took all the skills we learned from doing the Photoshop Activities and applied them to our poster. I wasn't familiar with Photoshop either, but it was a lot like Firework which made it easier. I enjoyed doing this project because it was lots of fun and it brought out my creativity. I focused more on making this movie my own and creating something I would watch. I had a good time making my poster!
