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.

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.

Worksheet in Word format and example graphic in PowerPoint format An exercise to complement my video on my YouTube channel Students choose a graphic and state it’s audience then pick a new audience and write about how it would have to change in order to be suitable for the new audience Scaffolded by way of a template with keywords and students can then use their notes to formulate a paragraph from their work Challenge/extension: students can label an existing graphic with the keywords (example given)

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.
