Public Service Announcement - Script
Script
Title: The world is running out of fabric and clothing materials!!
No new clothes will be producing.
Author: Sarah
(a part of the song Fashion by Lady Gaga-fading after few
seconds)
Me: The world is running out of fabric, cotton and other
clothing materials. The government has established a new law saying that no
fashion brands will be producing any new clothes to save the materials.
(going around the local mall) *people talking
Me: Let’s do some experiments.
Me: Hey there. Have you heard the announcement about no more
new clothes?
Girl: OMG! YES! I can’t
believe it! I don’t know HOWWW I’m gonna live without new clothes!
Me: Soooo do you want to do something with your clothes to
make it look new??!
Girl: OF COURSE!! YES!
Me: You could cut or add more accessories to your clothes to
make it original and new! Isn’t that fun?

3. What choices does the website give you? Make sure there are choices for you to do. Also, they not suppose to have bias.
4. Checkpoint has help me know where to find the author name, and base on that author name i can find is that author reliable
5. how can you tell? You can tell btwn fact or an opinion by checking if it's repeated on another (reliable) website.
6. Sometimes people can be biased on the Internet. The rule is to try to look at other people's point of view to see why they created the sit.

Internet Searching
5 ways to improve a search:
1) Be specific
2) Don't put common worlds like 'and' or 'the' in your search because the search engine will ignore them.
3) Use quotes around words to search for the words together.
4) Put a plus symbol to make sure that the word is searched.
5) Put a minus symbol to make sure the word is NOT searched.
_It is important to search the internet properly because if you search it randomly, you will get very many results. Some of them might be spoof. If you remember the 5 ways to improve your search, you results will be less and it will be easier for you to find the correct information. For example, if you want to find the population of the polar bears in 2012 and you type in google seach like picture 1, you will have a lot of results. Picture 1 is not specific so there will be population of a lot of bears. If you type in google search like picture 2, your results will decrease and it is also more specific. You can see the difference between the things that I've underlined in picture 1 and 2.

Publisher Homework
For this poster, I chose the color blue and yellow because it go together very well and it is very childish which fit the audience of this poster. The colors are also the colors of the main character in this movie. I put the name of the main actors and actresses on the bottom. I couldn't enlarge the photo to make the background because it would look blury so I find a lot of pictures and put it everywhere on the poster. I put the name of the movie big and clear in the middle of the poster so it would stand out.
I chose this layout for this calendar because the dates are very clear and you can put some pictures on it. I chose the color blue for the background because it look peaceful and it is also the color in the Australian flag. I also put some pictures of Australia on the calendar to advertise Australia. I wrote some words underneath the pictures to tell the audience what the picture is and i chose the color red because the color is also on the Australian flag.

Logo Homework
What makes a good logo?
_ I think what makes a good logo is that the logo is creative but also not too complicated. It should be simple and related to the business or organization. Like the logo below, it is very simple but it is creative. The name of the logo is "Push the bottle" and there is a bottle with a hand and a button inside. There are two ways to look at this logo, one is plainly just a bottle. Another way is a hand pushing the button. It looking like you are "pushing the bottle".
What makes a bad logo?
_ This is an example of a bad logo. This logo is horrible because it does not relate to the business or organization. The logo hurt your eyes or make you loose focus and don't know where to look. It doesn't look interesting. It doesn't tell the audience what the company or organization is about. The logo is also very distorting.
5 rules for making a good logo:
1) Creative - a logo should be creative because you want the logo to stand out and look different from the other logos.
2) Audience - you need to know who your audience is so you could make the logo suitable for the audience.
3) Simple - the logo should be simple because if it's too complicated then the audience won't remember it. But it also shouldn't be too simple.
4) Colors - you should choose colors that go together well so the logo would look better.
5) Design - the design should be related to the business or the thing that the logo is representing for.

Editing Photo
In ICT, we learnt how to edit photos and editing bitmap photos. One of the picture we did was The Statue of Liberty and Manhattan city in the background. For this photo, I duplicated the photo and made one of them black and white. I put the black and white layer on top of the original layer, and erase The Statue of Liberty to make it stand out.
Another picture that I edited was a picture of a car. I used the magic wand to erase everything except for the car and squished the car so it look smaller. I edited the car so it look like a toy car. I also made another layer and made the background on the second layer. Then I put the first layer (which is the car) on top of the second layer (the background).The tools I used were the magic wand, the eraser, the select tool and the move tool.

Photo Editing - Bitmap Images
For this photo, I cropped and resize the picture because I wanted the picture to focus more on the frogs than the unnecessary black spaces.
I cropped and changed the color to black and white because this photo look better when its focused to the horses with a black and white color.
I darkened this photo because it was too bright and it hurts when you look at the picture. It is also hard to see the details in the pictures.
This bunny have a very red eye and it look creepy so I removed the red eye. The bunny look more natural without the red eye.
This photo is too bright so you can't really see anything, that's why I adjusted the brightness so it look more natural.

AIS After School Clubs presentation - Adult Version
I've change three things about one of the slide in my presentation to make it suitable for adults instead of teenagers. These are the three things I've changed, the background, the text, and the fonts.
The first thing I changed was the background of the slide. The background of the previous slide that was presented to teenagers were colorful, now I changed it to a darker and more professional color. I changed it to a dark dirt/brown color to make it suitable for an older audience.
The second thing I changed was the text of the slide. Instead of making many short bullet points, I added more details into the text and more information about the topic. Since older audience are more interested in the information than colorful images.
The last thing I changed was the fonts of the words in the slide. The fonts in the previous slide that was for teenagers were creative and unique, but I changed it to the common fonts and easy to read ones for the adults. Adults don't like fancy presentation, most of them would prefer a presentation with more information.

Get To Know ME!
Hi, my name is Sarah. I'm studying at American International School. I'm in 7th grade and I'm 13 years old. My favourite subjects are Language Arts and Math. I love music, in my free time I would turn on music and make random dance moves because I also love to dance. When I'm not at school, I would call my friends and we would go to the mall to watch movies or come to my house and just relax after days studying hard at school.
I would like to give some advice to the people that are studying ICT for the first time. You should turn of your computer screen when your teacher is talking. Follow and listen carefully to the teacher's instruction. With these advices I hope it would help you a little bit in ICT class.
My goal for ICT class this semester is understanding more about audacity. I get confused a lot in audacity. Sometimes transferring music files or sound files are really complicated.
