Do you want to know how i made this? Then keep reading and you will hear about how i made this and what i did in this school project.
The title of this school project was new beginnings, and the driving question of this project is: what did the establishment of New France mean for everyone involved. So this project was about the founding of New France, colonialisation and the fur trade and what it meant for First Nations people. What we had to do in this project was make a advertisement trying to get people to go to New France and help build a nation, but this kind of turned in to making a photo slider with one side being what it was advertised as to certain people and the other side was what it was like in New France. We were aloud to chose one of multiple groups of people to market it to. The group i chose were the hard and gritty, those who would help build the nation instead of for example Les Filles Du Roi (which translates to the kings girl for those of you who are fools and do not speak french).
The first activity that we did in this project was we a advertisement for our school to try to revitalize some of the things that we learning in the beginning of the year in our project: medium is the message. Some of the things that our teacher wanted us to remember were: how to use contrast, the rule of thirds how much text to put on the ad, where to get the find print and other things. I would put up some media of my ad, but that would reveal what school i go to and i am not going to put that out on the internet.
After this the next thing that we did was a photo walk outside as we wanted some outside photos. Once we had been outside and we had taken our photos we used them to create our first New France visual. We used keynote apps like keynote to edit our photos add contrast, change the colours and add symbols that kind of thing. This was helpful as it gave us a bit of an idea about what we would be doing for our final project. The symbols that we put on our second draft were important as they had to be symbols that represented key things about New France that would have been advertised in our ads.
The next important thing that we did was a peer critique for feed back that was supper helpful when it came to finishing our drafts so that we could put our images and make our photo slider. When we did out peer critiques we made sure to try to be as specific as possible so we could succeed in out projects. After the peer critique i made my photo slider that you saw at the top of this blog post.
And finally the part that you were all waiting for: how to make a photo slider like this. The first step is to go the website flourish (linked here) and make account. Step two is to find two photos that you want to slide together in the slider. The third step is in flourish you need to go the the photo slider part of the website. You then upload your two images and make the slider. Voila you’ve done it.
