For the second and final video project we intend to complete a short comical film that will incorporate elements from photoshop and movie maker. We will make a short documentary film that will trace an idea from the beginning stages to the marketing aspect, eventually turning into an infomercial. Our idea is still in the preliminary stages but will continue to develop through out the next couple weeks. We intend to take a lot of our own footage and splice it together to make a funny inspirational video. This video has a lot of potential to be fun as well as be educational for us as far as creating a video with our own footage from the ground up. Good luck to all as you complete your videos!

The process of creating our video has been fun and challenging. We picked our group by proximity and ended up having good team chemistry. We were undecided on our topic for a while but after much discussion it clicked and we decided to do a day with the biggest bad asses we could think of. We basically made a montage of us 3 spending a week with these exceptional gentlemen. We photoshoped pictures of us with them and put a music background to go along with it. The pictures were especially fun to make because it gives the impression that we were chillen with the movie stars.

Graphic design has a lot to do with contemporary learning. First off most of the tools we use to learn are created by some graphic designer that created the image and outlines the product to be put into production. When designing text books or power points the designer is going to use a format that will be conducive to learning. Some graphics make it easier to learn. For example if a diagram is made to describe a process in stead of describing it with words it may be easier to visualize how the parts of the process work together. When discussing page layout we must keep in mind the way we were taught to read. We read from left to right and if one made a text that read top to bottom or had some sort of strange layout for the text it would make it harder to read/learn the material. When used correctly the page layout can enhance ones learning by incorporating graphics, charts or diagrams created by a graphic designer.

In the professional world people will take you more serious when you act more professional. That goes for actions as well as the work that you do. Using layouts and newsletters is essential to adding a professional look to the newsletters that you might create. I will use the layout if/when I need to create a news letter simply because it is easier to input the information on the already layed out page and also because they will look better. I am glad I was introduced to this feature.
