Research!

This research work is what we had to copy out of this exercise from a booklet that we usually do our work out of. We basically did it for a quick warm-up so we can keep the pace up with our typing. At the moment, my typing aint so bad. If I look at the keyboard, it kind of helps! Gives me the extra boost that i need when I'm on a time limit with getting things done. But our teacher expects us to practice typing without looking at the keyboard. I try my best anyway :)

Fijian Article

This is a article which we had to copy all the dialogue but change the design, colour, font etc. I chose the theme of purple, ocean green & blue because its like the colours of paradise & it also matched the image which is on the top left corner of the page.

Katchafire Article!

My essay article topic of my choice on a NZ Homegrown Band/Singer was Katchafire. With all the information that you can see in this article had to be from the top of my head. Which means I wasn't allowed to use the Internet. Like Scribe says "all I had was a pad & a pen" but instead of a pad & pen, I just had "the keyboard & a mind of my own"

Poster Design - Style Pasifika

One of my task were to design a poster for one of the event choices in the list, that we were given from our teacher.
It had to be like an advertised poster of the event chosen. Which had to have factual information. Not fictional.
I chose to do a poster on Style Pasifika.
My poster, I found it was quite easy because I planned out what I was going to do.
I googled the site & saw that my chosen event had a symbol of a hibiscus flower.
So I kind of copied out the hibiscus picture from the original Style Pasifika logo!
Ooops! =]

Natcoll Pamplet Design!

This is a pamplet design that I designed myself.
I had to copy everything off the original pamplet except,
I had to design & make my own backgeround & layout of the text, pictures etc.
So that it can make it look rather interesting & it'll have my own input of creativity in the pamplet also.

Creative Lettering

I did this creative lettering on Microsoft Word.
I had to paste it all on paint so we could upload the picture to show you what I've done in my creative lettering. It took me a while to figure out how to upload the picture in my blog but I eventually found out how to do it myself.
My favourite one would had to be the crack one. Its very hilarious....

Team Member!

This was another thing that we had type about being a good team member within 70-80 words.

Women and Alcohol


She has a glass or two of wine and feels it go straight to her head. He has the
same amount to drink and feels fine.

Researchers confirm something many women have always suspected – it takes less alcohol for a woman to feel tipsy than it does for a man, and it’s not all to do with body size. Even if a woman is the same weight as a man and drinks the same amount of alcohol, she will end up with a blood alcohol level a third higher than his. It will also take a third longer for her body to eliminate the alcohol from her blood.

Why alcohol affects women more than men and potentially more harmful is one of a number of topics covered in a booklet produced by the Alcohol Advisory Council.

Alcohol affects women more than men because women have a higher proportion of body fat and less water in their bodies than men. This means that once it is in the bloodstream of a woman, the alcohol is not as diluted and has a stronger effect. So even if a woman is the same size as a man, she will generally be affected more quickly and feel the effects for much longer than the man will.

Both males and females have an enzyme in their stomach designed to process alcohol into a safer substance, yet for reasons that not yet clear to scientists, this enzyme is 70-80 percent more effective in men than in women. If the liver longer process one drink than his, and a person starts to feel drunk when they drink alcohol in one go.

New Zealand research has found more women are drinking and the amount of alcohol consumed by women is increasing. Young women are also drinking more, and what is particularly concerning is that a significant proportion of young women are adopting a pattern of drinking similar to their male counterparts – that is, consuming large amounts of alcohol in one go.

Other topics included in the booklet are alcohol and women’s health, alcohol and sex, alcohol and pregnancy and alcohol and breastfeeding. There is also a guide to how much is too much and a section on getting help and advice.

Keyboard!!

This is a keyboard that I made in Microsoft Word.
How I did it was we got these shapes and added the symbols and the alphabets on the buttons. So they it looked exactly like a keyboard.
We did this so we can be able to remember what buttons are where.
I found it easy because I knew what I was doing.

What are the reasons it is so dangerous to drink and drive?

What are the reasons it is so dangerous to drink and drive?

The reasons why it is dangerous to drink and drive is because young or older people who think that they’re alright to drive when they’re not. There should no reason for you to drink and drive but there would be heaps of reasons why you shouldn’t drink and drive. Usually a sober driver is always the one who doesn’t drink but when it comes to when they do drink without you noticing, it may lead to a disaster for all of those within the vehicle. However, you could prevent this from happening by committing yourself as a sober driver and when someone asks you if you want a drink, straight away you should say “no!” So you can be relied on those getting back home safely. When your driver does drink and becomes drunk, your role is to either catch a ride with someone who hasn’t been drinking or call in for a taxi. It’s the best way to keep you safe from an accident that might have happened. What causes people to drink and drive is because they either don’t have a ride home or they think they’re alright to drive. Sometimes you maybe driving by yourself and could drift off the other side of the road and make another car full of innocent people die or get caught in a dramatic accident. But it is your responsibility to drive and not drink or drink and not drive.

Flukes Caf'e

This was one of the first graphic image documents that we did had to do in information management. In this poster, we had to design an advertisement about a new opening of a caf'e in Kaikoura.
