Ahh! Just finished my presentation. I thought i did pretty well, I mean the two people in my group looked as if they understood whatI was talking about, so i'm guessing by that I did good.
My presentation was on Parker's work on the 'Designing Documents for Web Distribution and also on Jacci Bear's page on 'Elements of Design'. Parker's text explained the DO's and DONT's of using different colours, fonts, size, alignment as it would have an affect on the web distribution and also a printed document. Jacci Bear also touched on the use of colours and size, but also talked about mass, texture and lines. If you would like to look at Jacci's page feel free to, here is the link:

The other two people in my group also did their presentation. One was about the 'F' pattern, where the individual explained, with the help of another theorist 'Reep', that the 'F' pattern helps to identify where on the web page readers are most likely to concentrate on. The second presentation was on the same topic that I had done, but obviously presented from their point of view.
I thought that we all did well, especially it being the fiorst presentation of the semester. I'm no so sure to what grade i'm going to get, but fingers crossed HD! :D haha nah hopefully a P or a C. Anyway if any of you have dealt with powerpoint presentation feel me in with your situations
See you next week xox

Prep for Presentation
Hi guys, hope you missed me!?haha...anyway i don;t about you, but this week was a crazy week, i mean assignments galore! Well one assignment that was part of crazy week was my getting ready for the powerpoint presentation. When it comes to presentations i'm one to not get so nervous because I like public speaking. I don't know you guys feel the same so go ahead nd tell me what you think!!
Anywho what I basically did lastweek and during this week was go through Parker's work on ' Designing Documents for Web Distribution' and also like a supplementary reading on Jacci Bears 'Elements of Design'. I noted the important information from each theory and put it up on a powerpoint slides and then double checked everything was in the right placed. Hopefully, fingers crossed, i get through the presentation even though i sound really confident, you never know what might happen so i'll be practising.
So see you next week where i'll give you an exclusive on how I went...all the best xo

Genre Exercise and First Assignment
Okay with today's blog it's all about how Genre exercise, learnt in class, represented each of the assignments for IPD. Now, when the teacher explained to the class to how this was to go about I looked at my friend and we both looked confused! Apparently we had to choose 1 out of the 3 genres, Graphic design, text making, online document and drama performance. By then i was still confused! It was not till we moved off to the groups (thankgod, love group work!!) that I finally understood what we had to do.
The group I was in was the Graphic design group. Here the group created 3 different designs that meshed presented the 3 different assignments. The first assignment which is a powerpoint presentation was presented as a flow chart. The second assignment which is the exegisis was presented as a bed made by paper as it shows a symbol of paradise, and the third assignment which is the artefacts was presented by a notice board that contained bus tickets, pictures and a shopping list.
During the second half of class we were informed about our first assignment, which is the powerpoint presentation on a theorist that the tute assigned us to. I got PARKER, so that was good because i actually had a quick read of his work and it was pretty simple. So during this week and next week i'll be reading, noting and stressing to get the presentation right!!
So i'll see you people next week... :D x

Blogs!!
Heya people, i'm back at class and it's a wonderful feeling! haha not really :D Anyway i've jus finished reading Margaret Simmons article about 'Towardstaxonomy of blogs' where she explains that there are different types of blogs and bloggers that best fit a category. Simons identifies a total of 9 categories and one which I think I am under. The 9 are:
1. Pamphleteering blog
Blogs under this category are are usually blogs that 'argue or push a cause' (Simons, 2009) that are responses to issues.
2. The Digest blog
These are blogs that give you like a summary on information that have been in the media or in other blogs.
3. The Advocacy blog
These blogs center their attention to one particular issue, ussuallt nade by a group of people.
4. The Popular Mechanics Blog
Basically these blogs help and offer advice on special fields eg. gardening etc.
5. The Exhibition Blog
This type of blog is often run by artisits, craftspeople and writers who voice their 'how' and why' solutions.
6. The Gatewatcher Blog
These blogs are by experts and specialists who keep a watch on public events.
7. The Diary
These blogs are 'intended for friends and family' (Simons, 2009) that contain personal information.
8. The advertisement
Basically like the Advocacy blog, however less honest.
9. The News Blog
These are just another way of communicating the important news and issues to the audiences.

Anyway, as I have officially blogged and will be blogging for the next couple of weeks I think my blogs fit under 2 categories, the Pamphleteering Blog and the Digest Blog.This is because every week i'll be posting about issues and commenting on other work that i'll be going through and hopefully other individuals feel the same. So, for now I hope you have a lovely week and don't forget to comment if need.
See you next week xo
