After completing visual identity practice I then move onto teaching students how to prepare images that they download off the web so they are suitable for a ‘main graphic’.
On the stages we work through setting up folders to keep them organised, download and store the images; change the resolution, take screenshots to evidence the steps taken; save the image for use later.
You will need to think of a practice idea as I use this sheet alongside a themed set of lessons preparing students for R094.
Note: Repurposing is mentioned though does not have detail about this as I have another dedicated resource for this.
A little task for students to practice making an Interactive Multimedia Product using Microsoft PowerPoint.
