Creating digital posters for Time Machine

Here is an example of a digital poster for Time Machine

Task 1 – Analysing the Time Machine Digital Poster

With a partner, discuss the answers to these questions;

1. How many different pages are used?
2. What elements are consistent from page to page?  (colours, fonts, layout, logos etc.)
3. Are the pictures and text static or are they animated?
4. Are there any transitions between the pages?
5. Which software would you use to create a digital poster?

Task 2 – Creating your digital poster

The business needs more customers. Produce a digital poster to be displayed in mainline stations, airports and the Underground. The digital poster must attract attention and persuade busy commuters to investigate a Time Machine experience.

The digital poster must:

• consist of at least three screens that scroll automatically
• loop automatically
• attract the attention of busy people passing by
• introduce the Time Machine company and its slogan (if you have one)
• give details of a specific Time Machine experience
• display the company logo and contact details on every screen

Task 2 – Visitor survey 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cars harm the environment. The New Forest National Park Authority wants to reduce the damage caused to the environment by cars.  If the number of visitors who use cars to get to the forest could be reduced, less damage would be done. 

The VisitorSurveyL2 file contains data from a survey. A sample of visitors to the New Forest were asked: 

• How far have you travelled? 
• How many times a year do you visit the New Forest? 
• How did you get here? 
• What incentive can we offer that would persuade you to leave your car at home? 

A green, amber, red rating system was used to classify their vehicles according to how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce.

This is your EMISSIONS table, which you will need to use in your VLOOKUP function.   

• Green = 0.12 kg per mile 
• Amber = 0.20 kg per mile 
• Red = 0.30 kg per mile 

(a) Open the VisitorSurveyL2 spreadsheet. 

Enter your name, candidate number and centre number (29265)in the footer. 

Use the spreadsheet to calculate the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by cars in a year by each of the people surveyed.  (6)

(e) Most of the people surveyed used their car to travel to the New Forest.  They were asked what incentive would persuade them to leave their car at home on their next visit to the New Forest.  The choices were: 

• discounts on cycle hire  (CYCLE)
• vouchers for food and drink  (FOOD & DRINK VOUCHERS)
• reduced admission to attractions  (REDUCED ADMISSION)
• free transport from bus/railway stations to their holiday accommodation. (FREE TRANSPORT).

You need to sign and date your cover sheet.  BLACK INK PLEASE!!!

PEAT were so happy with your last leaflet that they have asked you to produce another one for them. It’s a bit of a rush, because the design company who were going to create it have dropped out at the last minute. The new leaflet focuses on the humpback whale, another endangered animal.

This time PEAT need a 2-page leaflet. Here is a quick reminder of what you should include:

1. Snappy title
2. An eye-catching logo
3. A clear layout
4. Appropriate images
5. Appropriate text
6. A good balance of text and images
7. Effective colours
8. Date and issue number
9. Contact details (website address – www.peat.co.uk)

To help you, PEAT have provided a document with information and images about the humpback whale. It is called Hump Backed Whales Images and Information (7b).  You should use this to help you produce your leaflet.

Save your work as Hump Backed Whales YOUR NAME. 

The deadline to complete your work is in one hour’s time – so you had better work quickly!

Starting your 2-page leaflet

1. Start Serif PagePlus
2. Choose Start New Publication
3. Scroll down and under Landscape choose A4
4. Now click on Layout Guides
5. Set all the margins to 1 cm
6. Change columns to 2
7. Set Col. Gap to 2 cm

You can now begin to create your leaflet.  The right hand column is your front page and the left hand column is your back page.

If you finish try any of the activities on this page:

http://reviseict.co.uk/ks3/7.3/index.shtml

Task 1 – Creating your company stationery

• Create some headed paper – this should include your logo and Time Machine’s contact details (you can make these up) and maybe a border around the page.  
• Create a compliment slip – a compliment slip is sometimes sent attached to a company brochure.  It should contain the logo, contact details and the words “with compliments”.  You should be able to fit about 3 compliment slips horizontally on an A4 page.  There should be a PagePlus template to help you with this.
• Create some business cards – these should be for a particular individual in the company.  Again you can make up a name and a position (or use your name).  Include the logo, contact details and the name and position (Managing Director etc) of the employee.  There should be a business card template in PagePlus to help you with this.

Task 2: Printing your company stationery

I will give you extra print credits so you can print these off in colour but they are not unlimited so make sure you check print preview before you print.

Please write your name on the back of your work and put it in your folder.

Extenstion: Creating personal stationery

Using one of the templates, create your own personal stationary;

• business cards – so you can easily share your address details with friends
• compliment slips – perhaps you could attach these to work you hand in?
• letterhead – if you need to write a letter
