Emily's CRaM Homework 22/10/09

Today we got split into 2 groups, I was put into a group to do Photography. We then got split up into little groups, and I got put with Jamie Walsh. Before break we looked through the yellow pages, and had 10 seconds to look for a plumbing service. After all of us had chosen one we had to say why we chose it e.g It was an eye catching advertisement because of the colours used/ it had lots of big, bold writing/ it got straight to hte point of what the plumbing service does. After break we had to come up with a name for our group, choose who was going to be group leader, and come up with a name for our catering service that we are going to be advertising. We haven't yet come up with a team name, but we have decided who will be the team leader, and that is Jamie, and our catering service is called 'Hungry Much?'.

After lunch we took pictures of an orange, and apple and a cup of tea. We had to use the techniques we have previously learnt in the lessons before. We went round the school looking for places to take the pictures, and we thought that the window sill would be a good place, because it has the light shining in into the picture, and into the camera. The light worked really well and even worked better when we used the flash on the camera. We also took a picture of the orange and the apple in a tree, which also worked really well. After we had taken all of the pictures we needed, we went inside and on the computers and downloaded the photos onto the computer. We then used photoshop to produce the catering design using the pictures taken.
On photoshop we adjusted the colours and tones in the picture that we are going to be using, we took out any smudges or dirt in the picture to sharpen it up a little.
