When you was a year 7, what piece of software would you usually use to
make posters? In the year 7 the software that was used was GIMP
2.
2. What have you used for the posters(Imaging Software) you have made on this
course? For my course I used the software GIMP this is because there is a
range of tools that can make your work the best it could be.
3. What things can you do better using this new software? I can do the following
actions using gimp better than paint: cropping, adding more effects. You can
select certain parts of the image and edit it with the Magic wand. In gimp you
could use layers which improves and adds effects to the background image.
Also in gimp you can use shadow effects which makes the image look
realistic.
4. Name your 1 favourite tool you have been using in this new software and
WHY it is so useful. My favourite tool is the crop tool and it is also useful
Again this is very effective as you can cut off any white background that
you need.
5. In Imaging software what was wrong with a particular image that you cut
out from another picture in order to use? This has been used many times
in my work to make a cleaner and a smooth image. The edges on the
images will make my work will look to tidy.
6. What did you do in order to get a cleaner cut? When you use the crop tool
it will clean your background of your image. When you have fully cropped
your image it will make your work look of a better quality.
7. Why is it important to get a clean cut? When you use the crop tool it will
clean your background of your image. When you have fully cropped your
image it will make your work look of a better quality
8. When you saved your poster originally the poster size was quite big(file size).
Why was this? The file size was big because the quality was very high.
9. What did you have to do to reduce the file size? To reduce the file size you
had to reduce the quality of the poster by exporting it on gimp.
10. Why was it better to reduce the file size of the poster? So you can transfer
easily .If you are sending it to someone it is quicker.
