client meeting

Here is my project.
We have finished our project quite early, however we have improved our project quite alot. It might seem like a very simple and easy thing to do. It was easy but it was very frustrating to go through the complicated steps because pages I think pages is not such a good software for making projects and I found it pretty hard because the picture would move out of its place or the text would split in have or the background picture would move, it was a mess!! However we wroked together and experimented many different things to recover. I think our project is very eyecatching and colorful and i really think it will do well. We have two posters exactly the same but one with more text. This one was more an introduction to bullying than just saying statements like we did in our second poster. Also we changed the fonts which i think we did great. Well overall i thought this was a great project and i hope you use our project.
Thank you!!!

evaluation of my project

My final poster was a good achievement, me and my group member had finalized our project.We had included everything, also the things that Mr. Jones said. Our whole product was very good we had pictures and information, both at the right amount. We used our time wisely and concentrated on our work , we were not disrupted by other people. All the group members worked very well, as we all had a part, the work was 50/50 we both had the same amount of work.
 WE investigated for bullying information, pictures and then turned it into OUR OWN fantastic project! We designed our project so everything is laid out and in the right position. We Planned very well as we did about 3 posters until we had exactly what we wanted. The Creating stage was the best! we had a lot of fun,we made our own poster!
Or project worked well as the comment of Mr. Jones was 'Very good work you two'
We designed our project fantastically although we could approve on some information that we did. I would take a picture and change its opacity to low do it is see through and then i would put it as my background, this is what i would do differently. We thought it would take longer but we finished in an efficient time and had a good result. We had a few difficulties with the program that we made the poster with, example we couldn't move a picture because it would move the text, overall i did not like the program that we used, Mr. Jones did not know  either so we were kind of stuck until a peer of us told us how to do it. We saw many posters on the internet although we didn't think they were   as good as ours. The poster made me feel different, it changed my mind that bullying is REALLY  a BIG issue in many places and can cause many injuries.It probably also changed others to think like this. It changed the environment/society around me as people maybe read this poster and thought, ow yeah... thats right.. i should stop bullying people. The whole project was fun, although it was a lot of work i would NOT like to do it again.

Bullying poster

Bullying poster

I have done a bullying poster with the help of William. I think my poster has to much text and not enough pictures. So i made a new one similar to the first one but with less text. The reason why i put text on was because i wanted to give the person an idea about what bullying is. PLEASE comment on what poster is better.






If you have a problem reading the poster, click on the picture and it will open a new page with it in a big size.
Software we used

I have made my poster with pages, Pages is a system like Microsoft word, but it is for Mac.
The system is extremely easy to manage and has many tools such as Adding charts, changing fonts, size, etc.
I have a video to show about PAGES.

The disadvantages about this software is that if you are not used to it, it will be kind of hard to use. Because it is not exactly the same to Microsoft word.

Our poster questions

Our project is about making a poster about Anti-bullying POSTER. It is an easy and straight forward job. Because all research on bullying and make it into a poster. Then all we have to dois collect pictures and put the poster together, so it looks a bit like this:

I think we did well making this poster, because ours looks a bit like that too:


I think our poster provides good information and examples, therefore it could be very useful for some people.

Bullying

Bullying is a problem that is all over the world, mostly in kids life. Bullying is when a kid beats up, takes money and annoy other kids. This is tough for some kids and can cause many problems in their life, like depression. This problem is solved by counseling, which is sort of like Psychologist but in school.

These websites are very good in explaining what bullying is and they also provide some games as an example.There are lots of good information in these websites such as: What is bullying, what causes bullying and how you can solve it.

I think this website is the best, in information: http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/friends/bullies/
I think this website is very good for kids to understand better: http://sandeelee.blogs.com/
I think this website is alright but slightly less information: http://stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov/index.asp?area=whatbullyingis

pages

we are using pages for our project, we are going to make a poster with pages. pages has many features, it is like Microsoft word just made for mac, the features are nearly the same as making carts changing fonts, the size and colors of the text. it is a word processing program that we are using to make our poster.

The advantages are that it is very easy to use, pages is a good. The disadvantages are that i dont use mac software so it will be harder and bad to use
