Task 4: e-pub, commentary and poster self-reflection and evaluation:

Part One: Discuss your feelings about the e-pub, poster and commentary task:

1. Are you satisfied with the final result?

I am not 100% satisfied with my final result as if had more time i would have made a better background and improved the layout more.

1. Did the e-pub require more/less time than you originally thought?

It required less time then i thought, i did it bit by bit and that made it easier for me and shorter.

1. Would like to change any aspects of your fi nal project (layout, links, images, video and audio content, colour scheme etc)?

I would have changed the layout of of my ibook as i would add more colour and added more images.

1. If you could start the project again what would you do differently?

I would have recorded my voice on garage band differently and put more effort into that part of it.

Part Two: Respond to each of the following dot points (using complete sentences or paragraphs). You should include as much detail as possible in your responses.

1. Discuss whether your e-pub and poster have turned out the way you pictured them?

no, i thought mine would have been more colourful and had more pictures but it did not turn out like that.

1. Explain whether your e-pub and poster clearly depicts the style of your animation and describe some specific design principles that you have used to achieve this;

no, the front of my ibook represents the theme and colour as it is blue like the water, but the rest is plain white for my design.

1. Describe any problems or technical difficulties you encountered while creating your director commentaries in GarageBand. These may include; sound or video issues, corrupt or missing files, difficulty using the iBooks Author or GarageBand software, problems importing/exporting files, etc;

I had difficulties with garage band as i did not know how to get my recorded voice memo’s onto my ibook. This took a lot of time to figure out but exporting it was easy in the end.

1. Did you have all of the necessary resources to complete your e-pub and poster or did you have to create new materials? 

I had all the resources to make my poster and did not need to make new materials.

1. List the steps you used to plan and develop your project;

-plan what my poster will look like

• set out the layout of the whole ibook
• drag my movie clips onto the ibook 
• record my garage band 
• export it 
• drag it too ibook

1. Did you use content-lists, flowcharts or other documents during the planning process;

Yes i did, i wrote down on pages on the mac and made a list of what i needed to do and then ticked it off once completed.

1. Clarify any time-management issues you encountered during the creative process and describe the steps you took to improve in this area;

I had stuggled with time management with the previous assignments but for this I did not have any issues during the creative process. 

1. Discuss whether you undertook adequate and detailed reflection throughout your project. i.e. Have you provided enough evidence to support your work? (Look back at your blogs and think about whether it looks like a whole terms worth of work);

I wrote down my reflections on pages but havent had any time to post them, I did reflect on many things but did not have enough time to post them.
