ICT PROJECT

HI BRETONIANS! THESE ARE MARIA'S GUIDELINES FOR YOUR ICT PROJECT:

COMPANY LOGO PROJECT USING 

INKSCAPE SOFTWARE  

A Logo is a design symbolising ones organisation. It is a design that is used by an organisation for its letterhead, advertising material, and signs as an emblem by which the organisation can easily be recognised, also called logotype. Logotype is a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.

Nowadays, the most popular and successful companies continue to say that "simpler is better", especially today when everything is moving so fast you have less and less time to impress your customers. So it has to be done in a very stylish manner yet remaining conservative so that it`s easier for the eye to catch and the brain to memorise your logo design.

There are some general types of logos:

a) Iconic Logo - Some kind of graphical element related to the business field or just an abstract image, for example: Nike, AOL, Micheline.

b) Logotype - Logo based only on the company name. A unique font, or unique layout style can make a great logo, for example: Sony, Coca-Cola, IBM.

Iconic Logos can be very different. The classic variation is to make the symbol fit any of the basic geometrical shapes. For example:

The best shapes to use are symmetrical geometrical shapes They can be placed almost anywhere and still maintain the balance; they are very easy to handle.

It is still good to make the logo fit any kind of geometrical shape, it looks more fit and balanced.

And at last, there is no obligation in what kind of shape to use, you can use any free form shape you want, but you have to be very careful with the placement, so the logo doesn't look like it is falling apart or going to fall.

Follow the instructions below:

·    First, decide the shape of your company logo.

·    Second, apply additional content and features to your logo, such as: exclusion, difference, division, align & distribute, fill & stroke, clip, Bezier tool, polygons, text, etc.

·    Finally, save your logo as a svg image. 

ENJOY!!

1st TERM PROJECT: ENGLISH - ICT

SOCIAL MEDIA SWAY PROJECT

GUIDELINES:

• Students work in pairs (or groups of three people, if necessary).
• The teacher will assign one of the most popular social networks  (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram…) to each group.
• Each group will do research about the assigned social network and prepare a Sway-presentation
• f you do not have an account for the social network, create one (as you know, first you have to ask permission from your parents)

En España el acceso a redes sociales está regulado en el artículo 13 de la Ley Orgánica 1/1982, de 5 de mayo, sobre Protección Civil del Derecho al Honor, a la Intimidad Personal y Familiar y a la Propia Imagen, e indica que hay que tener 14 años o más para poder registrarse en cualquier chat o red social.

• Before you start, make sure to log in the social network of your choice and capture several screens that will serve as material for your presentation. You can use "snipping tool" for this purpose (to take a screenshot in the cell phone you must use a key combination, see the last section for details)
• In case you do not have permission to create the account, make a more general presentation about this topic with the following items;

1.  How to connect 
2. The main features 
3. New features
4. The main uses (keeping in touch with friends, keeping up with celebrities, listening to music, sharing ideas, keeping in touch with work colleagues…) 
5.  How has social media affected society 
6. Look at the document titled SocialNetwork (pdf file) and pick another topic.

Your Sway presentation must contain, at least, the following items:

1. Several cards
2. One video (you can also add videos that you have taken, or you can look for videos that suit your needs in Bing or YouTube by using the Insert Sources drop- down list)
3. One tweet (you can copy an embed link for a Tweet that fits your needs from twitter.com and paste it into an embed card)
4. Different types of groups (grid, slideshow, stack, etc.)
5. Add a Gif Image (you can add animated GIFs to the heading)

Make sure to explore the different options for the display of all the above contents. By varying the way the information is presented, the result will be more compelling to the viewers and will better fit in your purposes.

    A  PRESENTATION WILL BE HELD IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM AND YOUR ORAL SKILLS WILL BE ASSESSED.

DEADLINE: OCTOBER 31st
