Quick reminders of what visual identity is Made for Creative iMedia R094 practice

I used these when teaching “Job Roles in the Media Industry” alongside a research task (will put on TES soon!) Helps students remember which parts are important. Includes PDF of 2 per page and a PDF with 4 per page Also include a little presentation slide with some rules I made up!

Mimicking a transport map, this summarises the keywords/content for R094. Students could use them whilst practising for their coursework units as well as it reminds them of what to think about for some of the criteria. Created in A3 so can be printed as A4 or used as part of a display! *R094, R097 and legacy units (R081, R082, R085 and R087) also available!

Over the years, I’ve found digital literacy skills are diminishing due to the change in technology so I’ve started to bring it back! This presentation guides students through some very basic Microsoft Word key skills over 11 tasks. Some tasks include files which they need to open. There is also a final task to re-practice all of the skills.

Part of a Knowledge organiser series to support my R093 Knowledge Map. Includes student tasks and key information to learn for the Creative iMedia exam. Could also be useful for a careers lesson. This particular knowledge line is a 3-page PDF.

4 sides of 31 skills to help students use Adobe Photoshop CC Could be used for revision, independent practice or a support sheet

Crib sheet showing students how to create equally sized images in Adobe Photoshop CC for consistency. Includes activities on the second side.

Part of a mini-range of visual aids to help students learn the graphics package The sheet has a small set of activities on the second sheet PDF format so could be shared electronically or printed if you want students to tick the boxes Useful for Key Stage 3 (particuarly for differentiation) and/or Creative iMedia R082/R094 This sheet covers changing the brush size, spot healing brush tool; blur/sharpen/smudge and destructive/non-destructive workflow

Differentiated Python Variables lesson where students think of what data can be stored in a container - it then automatically writes the story in the PDF. Students then copy the code, run it and answer questions about it. Students could then extend the code. Includes lesson presentation (with Bloom’s taxonomy questions for the plenary)

Little activity that uses quite a few tools! Would be useful if students had some knowledge but not a requirement! It may be worth showing them the pen tool/pointing them to my YouTube channel if they find the sheet tricky! Includes supporting presentation with a starter actitivity (creating one quickly in Paint), quick explanation of bitmap and vector and then a preview of what they will make. Also includes the video which is available on YouTube. Created using version 21.

The aim of the resource is for students to learn how to comment upon a visual identity using the logo to help them. Then they could use these ideas when designing their own visual identity in the NEA As well as the PDF version which can be filled in with a PDF reader, an editable presentation is included so you can add other logos e.g. school one or blank ones for the students to do themselves.

The aim is to help provide more structure for lower ability students or those with SEN but could be useful for all students. The resource includes: crib sheet (A3 but can be printed A4); crib sheet with student task; blank tempates with no task teacher presentation to support the lesson (with some slide notes) example solution templates are PDF and Powerpoint (where they can draw on top of the template) Updated 01/11/22 to include example solution and peer mark scheme
