Technology reflection

Design:What we learned about designing posters during class was about contrast, rule of thirds, repetition, alignment and proximity. We also learned about how to make a successful blog by using the background and choosing suitable colors for it. We learned that some things such as contrast, repition and such did not work for all  posters. We learned that each color represents or makes people feel a different emotion, like red makes you hungry etc.

What we learned

Attitude: I think i was very positive towards what we were being taught. There were a few things i did not know about, such as the rule of thirds,  and the color representation. Now when i look at some posters I sometimes think about it using what we have learned, rather than just looking at it and saying "oh it looks good without putting much thought into it.

Attitude towards what we learned, how do i look at things now.

What I used, what i could have used, how i used it.

Create: I used the color representation to emphsize my point, an example is I used blue for caring because it represented honesty, while orange for risk-taker represented confident and adventurous. I used a bit of contrast by making the color of the backround for the text light than the rest. I used a tiny bit of rule of thirds by making the learner profile in the center showing that just that word is nothing while i put the description words around it, although it does not fully use the rules of thirds, it does a bit.

What i could have used is the rule of thirds a bit more accurately. I could have used the rule of proximity to make them spaced out evenly to make it look better.
