It looks more of a poster than a worksheet for learning. I wanted to create something for sign language, but cropping out all the alphabet took me a very long time, so I just chose the younger age children for my target population. Even thought it was a poster for learners, I wanted to be a little more creative, so I added bar code picture at the bottom to make it more of a poster than just a worksheet. I think harmony here is the font color, size, and the space between texts. I wanted be nearly perfect with the spacing so I zoomed in a lot to compare the length and width.

Grouping Poster

'Sunny' and 'Shiny' were my two words, and I tried to pick a picture with bright lighting in it, and I want the picture to have a warm theme to it, so I tried to use more warm colors. I grouped brush patterns and painting effect together to be more organized. I think the size of the texts at the far right bottom corner looks too little, but I think I should have used more 'Sunny' color to it, because no one could guess what my two words were, but I like the original picture a lot, so i just went with the greenish color theme. I also should haven't hide the sun from the original picture, so that the picture looks more sunny and shiny.

Grouping Challenge

These are my Grouping Challenge images that are created in Microsoft Powerpoint.
I tried to google each word to look at different images and concepts, and I know that even though powerpoint has a lot of designing tools, it was a little hard for me to be more creative.
I think it looks alright, but not the best I could do with it. For logic, I thought about 'think outside the box' quote, so I wanted to create a 3-D box image by using lines. For Anarchy, I used shapes so describe it. For escape, I thought I automatically thought about Fire Exits with signs, so I chose green for two arrows. For isolation, if you see it it looks almost similar with anarchy, but I tried to stand with different shape and colors. For celebration, I thought about fireworks, so I used star shape to create multicolor star fireworks. For unity, I typed unity on google, and it gave me a lot of pictures with circles are connected, so I went with them theme, again.

Personal Poster: Photoshop

This is my personal poster. I tried to be crazy, so I used my extreme face-expression-pictures, and my name is Sun, so I picked Sun and Yellow as my theme. I feel like I should add more artifacts to this, but I just wanted to be simple :) I really wanted to think about repetition and composition. Since this was about my personal components, I wanted to have my 'personal' theme. I think it had a pretty strong impact since the background was white. I used grouping feature on Photoshop to group similar components together so that when I tried to move around, it was definitely easier for me. Even thought it doesn't have much of fancy design skills, I still love my poster :)

Power Point Activity, PARC Before and After

We created this poster using Microsoft Powerpoint with given pictures. Before I created it, I thought about the concept a lot because I was very confused with the format. I tried to choose color theme first and then went from there. Even thought Powerpoint has a lot of amazing features, it was a little hard for me to be very creative with it. I rotated the watering can to place it at the right spot. I looked at many people's examples and they used very similar colors because they all thought about the gardening business, but I definitely wanted to be different from others so I tried to stay with the pink color theme. I cropped out watering can and resized it into smaller version and put it on the far top right corner with some texts. I was shocked about how Microsoft Powerpoint has many designing features. It was very fun!

This can be my research design for given information, and I tried to use a lot of visual to help learners or target audience to understand better and easier. I used SmartArt to start with, and I didn't want to use a lot of words to describe each element, so I used bullets. The standard of the SmartArt that I chose was blue, but I didn't change it because blue seemed to me a pretty comfortable color to look at. I wanted to sort by steps, so I used 8 boxes to explain each element, and it is put into the order it has to be done. I also used a clip art to give more attention to the design.
