Theme
Theme
The theme can come from any image.
It is best to choose images that help your story.
The colours from your theme image can be used for the borders of images and text blocks.
A good theme helps to make all the parts of your poster belong to each other, a feeling of oneness.
The poster is the parents and all the groups of information are the children.
The children have some characteristics from the parents to make it look like family.
The colour palette may look like this when colours are picked from the image.

Focus Points
Focus Points
Focus points are areas on your poster or page that strongly attracts your eyes.
There should only be one focus point on a page.Several of the hints below can be used to create a good focus point.
But be careful too much will make your poster unbalancedBorders.
Placing a border around some must know information might help to make it a stronger focus point.Size
With text focus points, they will often be a larger and bolder font.
With images the image that is largest generally becomes the main focus point.Colour
Giving your focus points a different colour to your theme, with more brightness or darkness, is a way to create a focus point.Shapes
Shapes can help create focus points.
There are many ways to use shapes but don't use them too much or you will lose your main focus point.
Containers draw the eyes to the content to act as a focus point.
Containers can be many shapes. The shape will act as a focus point to make words stronger.
Using colour or high contrast can create emotional focus points.
Colour and high contrast can make the eyes look where the artist wants them to look.
Another example of high contrast (red) and a change of shape to create a focus point.
A shape that is added to an image can attract the eyes to create a focus point.
Style size and weight of text can attract the eyes where the artist wants them to look.
Padding and margins help to make stronger focus points and remove confusion when grouping objects.

Layers of Importance
Layers. The first things to see.
Close your eyes and then open them very slowly while looking at your poster
The must know information will be what you start to see first.
As you open your eyes a little further the should know information will start to appear.
Opening your eyes a little further and the nice to know information witll start to become clear.
To read the nice to know information you will need to move closer to the poster as this can be small..
.
.
.
Another example of how changing the visibility
of less important information
makes the poster easier to read.
.
.
-
Text Backgrounds
Text transparent (see through) backgrounds
All text must be readable
Text over image backgrounds can be hard to read.
Place a transparent shape behind the text.
Group the background and text to make it easy to move and design.
The see through (transparency) of the background shape can be adjusted to get the best results.

Grouping
Grouping.
Similar items must be grouped together.
Objects can be grouped by using proximity. That is making the objects in the group very close to each other. Sometimes overlapping.
Objects can also be grouped by colour, for example pictures with the same colour borders as the title for the pictures.
Objects can also be grouped by putting them in a box..
.
.
-
Balance
Balance, weight, colour and symmetric.
Large light coloured objects will balance small dark coloured objects.
A symmetrical shape can be cut in half and both parts are the same.
Asymmetrical shapes when cut in half have both parts not the same.
There is an example in the video..
Padding's and margins must be balanced.

White Space
White Space Can Cost
White space can create a strong focus point on a poster.
White space is also a valuable asset where you can place more message about the 13 pieces of content for your project.
Too much white space means all the other information must be smaller with fewer pictures.
Every bit of space on a poster can be used to tell the story of your poster..
.
.
White space is also called
negative space.
The space creates a strong
focus point on what is left
The background area is what
makes up the negative space
or white space. The colour
does not have to be white.
If there is a lot of white space
the content must be smaller
and harder to see when there
are lots of items

Teaching Report:
• Computing is used to create an holistic approach to learning by working with Social studies, Public speaking and Science.
• To support subjects specific software is taught so students can complete high quality presentations.
• The emphasis is on using the computer as a tool for creating researching and expressing learning from many different areas. The ultimate goal is for the students
to be able to take control of their learning, understand what is good research and express this in acceptable high quality formats.
• 'Student centered classrooms' that are also a 'flipped classroom' are the preferred methods of delivery. The website for the flipped classroom is brettwilkin.com
• A 'Constructionist' approach is based project / activities outcomes means the website is updated regularly to accommodate changing social attitudes, student brain dominances. There is a strong emphasis on creative thinking, research skill and looking for answers rather than being spoon fed.
• As this is an ESL classroom students can review any information they do not understand. It is noted according to the website logs students often log on to do quizzes late at night when they are of the feeling to work.
In the 3 years this unit has been run it has successfully introduced students to their computers, computer language and how to present. Students appear to enjoy and have provided feedback that they enjoy the unit with everyone attaining more than the minimum level of 75% during the course
