Masterheads

These school mastheads all relate to school as "school" is in each title. The bottom title is from an actual school called Craigholme school. The design is that the logo is on the left and the logo represents the school and the name is in capitals. The font is normal and it stands out well from the background. The strapline is below the name creating effect to anyone who reads the title. It helps them promote their school.

The top left is from a "Back to school" magazine. The name is designed to make the title creative and that it attracts the reader. As the Craigholme school title, The name is in caps and the colours used makes it stand out. Back and to is made green where school is pink to combine the title. There is no strapline.

There is a strapline below the Title and the colour is the same as the title to seperate from "parent". All three titles are designed in their own way to promote and attract their audiences.

Tubechop

Tubechop allows you to take videos that u made or anyone else's to create a new video by cut it down to the interesting parts. After editing you can share them with friends. you find a video using the search engine then. my view is that it can be great for chopping vids and using them in your own but only the best bits.


Quizlet

Quizlet is a website where students and teachers can go on to set work or revision to help students learn. Once on you can create a class with friends or create a study set for people to use. People can play games by matching up the definition with the keyword typing the keyword with the definition or cards with have both to look at. My view is that Quizlet is a great way to learn and can gain a lot of knowledge from using it.

Dipity

This software can create interactive timelines where you can add photos to customise their set of flashcards. It can be shared with friends. This can be great for videos, images, audio, text, links, social media, location, timestamps. My view is that its great for making photo timelines of your life or an event plus it is free to use.

Pixlr

Pixlr is an a free online photo editing tool. Which means any photo can be edited to your liking. It can be downloaded as an app on your phone. you can use different colours shapes shaders etc to customise the photo. my view is that there is many different options u can choose from to customise. This is free to use which is great if you can't afford better software.
