What I learned on the Last Day of October:)

What I learned today is how to play the game Cargo Bridge and create a layout page for the new game in excel. We didn't do much else and I didn't learn much else, except the the weird creature in Mexico means something with a goat.

What the Heck Is Excel

What I believe excel is, is a program to organize numbers and stats. You can use it for accounting and doing percentages.

What Project I Enjoyed

The project I enjoyed the most in word was creating the poem or the brochures. I learned a lot more about word and all the things you can do with the program. I am now wondering what you are thinking to do in Excel?

What I learned/did on October 26, 2011

 I didn't technically learn anything new today. Instead I took a final test for Microsoft Word, so the class could go onto Excel. It was a good way to do a test!

I don't need help and I am done with everything!!!!

I am not rewriting yesterdays post, because I am at the same state just this time I am done with my brochure.

My post for October 25th

I have finished all my work, and am just working on a brochure for the coffee shop. Not much else is going on.

What I learned October 25, 2011

I didn't learn anything today. We all just caught of late work. If we were done with everything we could work on other school related projects or make something in work. Today was not a productive day in Desktop Publishing.

What I learned on October 24, 2011

What I learned today in class, is that if you finish all your work (that means doing it correctly) on time that you get a reward. Unlike other classes where you end up just sitting in your seat and waiting for the other students to finish. You get to do stuff you want, but in the school rules. I learned "Do your work and then you can have fun."

What Drawing Tools Can Do

Drawing tools can help your projects look better. They can give your flyer, brochure, or other project a more professional look and not like a five year old created. The projects are better with these tools because it catches people's eyes and makes them remember.

What I learned on October 20, 2011

I learned how to make the most out of a page of paper. To make a flyer make an impact on whowever is reading it. Also to use up an entire black page.

The 5 Steps of the Design Process

The 5 steps of the design process are layout, the people you are selling too, content, publication, and last but not least the purpose of the project.

What I Learned October 19, 2011

I learned how to differentiate between a Rastor base and a Vector base, and then we did so review on the other things we have learned throughout the weeks. I understand most of it and feel smart:)

What is the Difference.

 Vector based is the lines, where Rastor is the pixels. You would want to use the Rastor like in word when you are writing in smaller fonts. You want to use Vector when making a poster with large images and fonts, so you can't see the small pixels.

What I learned october 18, 2011

We didn't do anything that productive. Sat out and talked about our brochures and then the cover letter of another student. So not much happened, but maybe tomorrow something will.

Our Discussion

What I took away from yesterdays talk, was that we need to be more open in the classroom and discuss our concerns out loud. I think that I benefited our class in a big way, because now you know what we expect from you and what you know about how to teach. We need to help you out and at the same time you get to teach us.

What I accomplished today on October 11, 2011

 What I accomplished today is not very much, because I finished all my work yesterday. So worked on my other class's homework and then typed.

What Has Brochures Taught Me

What it has taught me is that you have to get people right off the starting block. You don't have time to dilly dally, you have to get them hooked. It has taught me that you have to do things correctly and you can half do anything. You have to make things appealing and make people want what you have.

Brochure Difficulties

The difficulties I found while I was making my brochure was getting enough information into the requirements I had to follow. Because I only had four pages (the first page being the front page) it was hard getting all the information I wanted into the the brochure. Another problem was finding a format that I liked, because I didn't know how to make one from scratch. I believe my brochure came out beautifully and is full of info.

Brochure

The hardest part of the brochure was getting the correct format for the brochure. I searched and searched and finally found an OK format. The easiest part of the brochure was deciding what place I wanted to choose. The most helpful thing I have learned from this assignment is presentation is everything, if it looks crappy they won't want to come there for their vacation.

My Location Slogan

My slogan for Kremmling, CO is "A Sportsman's Paradise" because it has fishing, hunting, and much much more!

Brochure Location

The location I have decided upon is going to be right here in Kremmling, CO. I am going to do Kremmling because it is one place I know a lot about. Also because I know about all the things that you can do in Kremmling (i.e. fish, hunt, hike, mountain bike, run, swim, look at fall leaves, and much more) I will not tell you why you should book this vacation yet, I will let you look at my brochure when it is done and then you can decide whether you should take your next vacation here.

X Height

X height is the the picsals that make up a x and that determines the height of the font. To make text drop, you highlight the letter at the beginning of a paragraph then go to format then down to drop cap. To replace words you go to edit then down to replace then you can choose the the words that you want to replace.
