Ready to begin my final projects that is. I have three to complete that I have not started on yet that are due before the end of the month. This past week I have been getting caught up on all of my assignments in all of my classes so I am ready to go and get started on my final projects! It was a success! A very productive week i'd say.
My three final projects would consist of a Hyper Studio presentation in Communications Technology, a guide book in International Business between Canada and Poland and a Business Portfolio in Introduction to Business. Each final project is going to take a lot of organization and a lot of thinking.
My final project for Communications Technology is done in a program called Hyper Studio, a program that I have never used before, and have no idea how to work. All my teacher gave me was a booklet on how to do the basics. Add text, add background colours, add photo's and animations, simple stuff. She however didn't exactly give me a print-out for my final project. She had written in point form on the white board what we basically had to do, but to me it's not described in detail well enough. This teacher in my opinion is not the best teacher I've ever had. In fact I wouldn't even call her a teacher. Today was the first day I opened up the program to begin my project and I got stumped when trying to add a photo. The program would not open files under PDF or any other file name in Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. When I asked the teacher what to do, she simply told me that the file EXP would work, but there wasn't even an option in Hyper Studio. Walking away from my question, I decided to just close the program and begin again on Monday. If she was not going to help me, there wasn't much I could do. Basically the project is to create a five page slide show with animations, voice recordings and buttons to go to and from pages. The presentation is to persuade a client that you should be their graphic designer. So my pages would consist of a title page letting them know who I am and what I do. A slide for my logo designs and self portrait made in Adobe Illustrator. A slide to show my drawings. A slide to show my photography. And a conclusion slide as to why I would be the right choice for them. I basically know exactly what's going in it and what it's going to look like. Now all I need to know is how to work the program! Hopefully next week I can get things rolling!
My final project for International Business is a guide book pretty much giving all of the information about Poland and it's International Business Relations with Canada. We have been working on IBP's throughout the semester that are going into the guide book. I haven't exactly read the instructions for the final project but that is basically what it is. Simple enough, i'm just glad that we don't have to do a presentation!
For my Introduction to Business class our final project AND exam is to create a business portfolio on our chosen business. Mine of course is photography. What we have to do, is create a portfolio made up with business cards, business letterheads, memo's, fax covers and reports with our own logo and information. Along with my International Business final project, I have not quite read the instructions on this project either. All I know is I will have to present this to not only my teacher, but to someone who works in a business. And this is not only a presentation, but an interview. This worries me a bit. The very first interview I had for a job, I blew. Having experience with my second interview at Tim Horton's and getting the job, I have higher confidence. Just the fact that it's an interview, gets my heart pounding. I have a feeling I will be very nervous for this, and it's only a final project!
Next week, I begin. :)
None of my final projects are written.
They're all computer classes!
