Originality and creativity

In my last post, I have shown 2 outcomes in development.


One is the biteable video And another is the info-graphic on power point Until this point power point seem to be more capable at creating info-graphics because it is more eye catching and people tend to like it more in my opinion.

The slide show below a different version of the power point info graphic but a little more developed In this slide show, development is shown in this new version by making the words bolder to make it more eye-catching, this change was made because some text looked very thin and weak so I made it bolder to make it more eye-catching, the text look more in place than the last one. For example, the text that said "Billion" was fitted in really badly as it was slanted and I underlined words that are strong and powerful or they just fit with the topic like billion and poverty.

The link above is the link to our video
If noticed, my info-graphic(my result) wasn't in the video because the editor couldn't open my info graphic and in the end, my outcome wasn't able to be put in the video. Luckily, is isn't the final draft(link would either be below this paragraph or in the evaluation post) so I still have time to try to change or find a different way to record my outcome so it could find a place in the final draft.

Developing result

This is proof of what I am capable of and evidence of development, I have proven that I can make short videos and eye catching info-graphic. Here are some images of progress and how it evolved into what I have now.

 These are the my results (made a mini video on https://biteable.com/ which is an animated video making webiste  and a inforgraphic video on powerpoint which was created by word/text animations).I have acquired these skills in power-point through out the 4 lessons which were based on our roles(Mine as the information designer). While making my trying to make my result, I didn't have much problems expect the fact that my previous work I done in the 4 lessons was accidentally deleted which was my fault because I forgot to save my work and my laptop shut itself down for some reason so a lesson I can learn from that is to remember to save work at all times.

Stage 1 reflection


For the past 3 months of explorations, I have learned many skills of collaboration and I have finished most of my role tasks with my leader which in the end proved myself that I am fit for the role I am doing now. Since the very first exploration lesson, me and the other group members have evolved from a quiet bunch into a hard working,open minded and talkative lot. Since this is my first year of explorations, so I have to say that I had some ups and downs and my groups lifted me up and guided me throughout the weeks and now I have completed almost all of my task.

Technical Competencies




For this task, I need to prove my knowledge on video editing on any source of my choice(Sources are found from a hyperlink on a isle course). To prove myself even more than just making a simple video introduction, the video below is a complete video that I made.

As a result of this task, I have learned how to make short videos on biteable.com and knowing that there are tons and tons of video making websites which are simple and easy to use.
In my opinion, I think that this looks pretty good since people tend to like simple and eye-catching video which biteale.com provides and because of this, I have decided to think about using biteable.com for my outcome.

Finding useful websites/videos to present our work






For this task, I was responsible of searching videos and websites which might help us on presenting our work. I have found tons of videos and websites like info-graphic template stores, videos on how to tutorials on PowerPoint, PowerPoint survey result templates.... and so on.

Poverty( Brainstorm)







This is the mind-map/brainstorm we did about poverty, the red are open questions and the green are closed question. our group had a bit of trouble with the closed questions because the whole group were full of creative people and it was hard for some to come up with the more dull question but we got some in the end.

We haven't though of any goals so far expect maybe doing the charity bread run which might be a possiblitity
