Today we started with a TED test provided by Charlie. It was a quiz on motor powered skate boards, and how they are more environmentally friendly and a lot cheaper than cars not only to buy but to run as well due to the battery that is charged by the sun. Unfortunately I only go 9 out of 15 which was no way near the lowest score so I was safe and the winner got 12 out of 15.

I was carrying on with A2/A3 T1 today as they are very similar, I had managed to get half way through it and should definitely be finished by tomorrow. I am including my notes that didn’t have for A2 when presenting so I need to remember to the best I can, what I said during the presentation to explain in the document why I have created certain things and chose each graphic.

The extended level 3's took a break around 12:15 PM to watch Lewis present his work as John and Pete felt that his was the best presentation from last week and we could learn from watching it.

When we came back from lunch John made us do an exercise in Photoshop and we had to recreate the simple image he had made on the board and then say the image in different formats, compressed and uncompressed, different colour modes and at different qualities. The purpose of this activity was so we could see first hand how changing each of these things impacts the file size.
