Planning and Research Evidence

 For planning my research I used lists on my phone to organise my work and ensure I kept on top of my workload. This was much easier for me as it meant I always had a list of what I need to do and I could use any spare time, such as on the bus, to keep on top of my workload.

 

These lists were more long term and made it easier for me to track my progress.

These research notes were the kind of notes and research I made whilst utilising my spare time.

The Use of Canva

Poster Campaign (Created with Canva)

I chose to use Canva to create posters for my poster campaign because it was recommended to me by the Media Studies teacher. I took his recommendation because he has more knowledge on how to generate effective posters then I do and I needed his advice. Canva was a good resource to develop my creative skills because it offered a tutorial which I followed and this made my skill set more developed and it made the production of the posters much easier. Canva was suggested to me because of the tutorial that it offered because unlike Microsoft Publisher it would walk me through how to use it and the documents automatically saved to my online account. I believe that this will be a good skill for me in the future as I like to create revision posters and Canva may become a tool I use in my further education. It was difficult to get the hang of how to edit texts, add backgrounds and import photographs but I think that I am much more technologically capable now.

A positive of this online resource was that I can easily alter my posters format to fit the TV screens in social areas around the school which means that they can be viewed electronically as well as on paper in the traditional form of a poster.
