How to apply micro loop extensions...

I am going to create an original multimedia product of ‘how to apply micro loop extensions’. This is going to be an advertisement for ‘The hair extension Academy’ in order to allow the students of the academy access to a step by step guide to follow after the course when they are practicing.

The media types that I will involve in my multimedia product are texts, images, videos and animations. I will be using this to make my product more intriguing for the audience and help make it easier to follow. The use of video will enable the audience to see the process visually and gain a better understanding of it. 

The target audience will be the students of the academy therefore they will already have some knowledge of the process as they would have taken the course already, this guide is for revision purposes.

Communication Styles

Verbal communication…

Verbal communication plays a big part in work, for example if I needed help or my teacher felt she needed to give me advice to improve my work, we would communicate verbally. This way of communicating is probably the easiest form of communication, however if the student was very shy it could be hard to gain the confidence to ask the teacher certain things. Verbal communication could also be misinterpreted by the listener, leading to tasks being done wrong or confusion in any questions being asked.

Using Gmail…

Gmail is another effective way to communicate with others, through emailing. You could email your work personally to your teacher in order to get feedback before uploading it. On Gmail you can also send files to multiple people and this is helpful if you have more than one teacher to send something to. Another advantage of Gmail is that it is now available on Smart phones or Androids through the App store, which saves time logging onto computers and signing into Gmail, as the notification comes through to your phone if somebody sends you something. Disadvantages of Gmail are that the student could have their email linked to other websites therefore receiving lots of emails each day, leaving them with a messy inbox so it’s hard to sort through and find emails from their teacher. Some students also might not have access to internet at all times or own a smart phone or android, so won’t receive the feedback given from their teacher.

Using Blogger…

Blogger is a highly effective way of communicating with your teacher. It’s very easy to save and upload your work to blogger, so it is posted and your teacher can read it and comment their feedback underneath your piece of work. This is an advantage as It’s then easy for you to read the comments and gain an understanding on how to improve your work. Blogger is set up through your email therefore you are alerted when your teacher has commented on a piece of work so you can check it and boost your grade by acting upon feedback. The only disadvantage to blogger is the fact some students may not have access to internet or don’t have a smartphone therefore they won’t receive the emails or they might not be able to check for feedback, or to see they have been awarded the grade.

PowerPoint…

PowerPoint is a programme on Microsoft which allows you to present information through slides. You can make a new slide whenever you are changing subject or making a new point, making it easier to communicate with an audience. The programme also allows you to use images to help you deliver the information, making it easier for the audience to understand. There is space for you to add a title at the top of each slide so you can make it clear what topic you are about to focus on and talk about. A disadvantage of PowerPoint is that you are limited to how much information you can fit on one slide.

Teacher Broadcasting Demonstrations…

Teacher broadcasting is a very effective way for the teacher to communicate with the whole class at one time. Technology allows the teacher to control each student’s computer and demonstrate the task the students have to complete, being able to see the task on your screen will make the task easier for you. This means it is easier for you to see where the task is on the computer and where the recourses in order to complete your task are saved. The disadvantages of teacher broadcasting are that students may not listen and once the teacher has demonstrated once the students have to then complete the task based only on information from their memory.

The three main pitfalls when using graphics and editing graphics are Copyright, Trademark and Intellectual Property. These are the three things graphic designers need to be fully aware of.

Copyright gives a person or company the right to control what happens with their own material, it protects things such as logos, computer programmes and images. It protects this content from other people using their work and claiming it’s their own. The copyright law protects graphics designers work and if anyone else were to use their work it is classed as breaking the law.

A Trademark is a symbol or sign used to distinguish your business’ goods or services from those of other trades. Graphic designers use the trademark law in order to ensure any of their graphics are not copied. If this was to happen the company with the trademark can take legal action and this could lead to the other business being shut down.

Intellectual property refers to the ownership of non - physical goods. It is often used as a legal term to protect the rights of the creators and inventors. One example of intellectual property is if a company hire an individual to design something for their company, the company itself would still have legal ownership of that design even if someone else designed it. This means the business still has copyright over the design.
