Weather Report




For The Weather Report video assignment, we were supposed to give a weather report using the LATCH method. I chose to use hierarchy, alphabet and time in my video. I struggled a lot with this video especially with the requirement of keeping everything on the screen and not adding or removing things. I have worked to improve some parts of the video that are shown in version 2. In this, I worked to keep everything on screen, improve the timing of objects and to make more clear which element I am trying to highlight.

Instructional Design: How to Tie a Shoe







For this project we were to to choose a common task that most people know how to do and had to create a "how to" instructional manual for that task. We could use words and images to explain the instructions in any format that we chose. These instruction manuals were to be aesthetically pleasing, as opposed to those that we normally see in everyday life. For my instructions, I chose "How to Tie a Shoe." I created a children's book since that age group would seem to have the most benefit from it. It is not only a book that can be read, but can also be interacted with as well so the child could follow along.
