iBook Evaluation and Self-Reflection


Evaluation
Year 9 Creative Media Animation – Term 04

Task 4: e-pub, commentary and poster self-reflection and evaluation:

I am very satisfied with my finial results of my poster and I really enjoyed making it. I am also very satisfied with my iBook. The I-book took less time then I thought it would. It was a lot easier then I thought it would be. If I were to do the iBook again I would add more detail to all my pages and change the layout of my pages.
My iBook did not turn out how I thought it would. I wasn’t to sure on how the finished product would look when we started this task because I had never done anything like it. My iBook does not look like an ordinary book. It has pictures in the background and lots of different colures throughout the whole iBook. My iBook and poster clearly depicts the style of our animation. This is because the iBook, poster and animation all make use of lots of colures. In the iBook the background pictures are pictures of the particular scene is about and the poster has an eye with a flower in it pupil as its background, this depicts the style of the animation because in the first scene of the animation there was the same picture but it was animated. I didn’t have any difficulty’s while doing this task the only trouble I ran into was forgetting my USB stick with the iBook on hand in day. This was fine as Mr. Powell let me hand it in the next day during morning tea The make my poster I had to get two pictures off the internet then I used Photoshop to blend the two together to get the picture I wanted. After that I just used word to add writing.
Steps I used to plan and develop our project:
1.    Put all the scenes in order
2.    Make dot points for each scene
3.    Do backgrounds for all the pages
4.    Elaborate on dot points for all the scenes
5.    Find pictures for my poster
6.    Use Photoshop to make poster background
7.    Finnish poster
8.    Fix up any last touches
I didn’t encounter any time-management issues during the creative process except on the day we had to hand in the assignment I forgot my USB stick. Other the then that I made sure I had my USB stick everyday so I could get the iBook done without any last minute stress.
Overall I really like this task and think it was a good assignment for our class to do and I wouldn’t mind doing something like this again.
