Finally I have the PSA. This is a PSA focused on those children who are disabled, over seven years old and close family relationships who are not wanted by people who are looking to adopt. Sorry for it being late, and I hope you learn a lot from this PSA.

Inkscape Mini Projects
In Design I am working through mini projects to help me be able to use Inkscape. I am on project 3 out of 4, and I will hopefully be finished them soon.
My first project was to show something that had depth. To do this I had to use gradients, giving objects a blur, and so on. It was not too hard when I got the hang of it.
My second project was to write my name on Inkscape three times using different tools. For the first one, I used the calligraphy tool and added colour. For the second one I used the pencil tool and used both colours and gradients. For the third and last one, I used different shapes of different sizes, colours and designs.
For the third project I have to find a picture of a face, and create a copy of it using layers, trying to make it as realistic as possible. Started this one today and the next time I post a blog about design class, I will have hopefully finished it. See you next time!

Storyboards
Today in Technology, we are looking at storyboards, which are the 'script' of a visual story (movie, PSA, etc.). Now we have to make a storyboard of a PSA for practice. During the half term break, we are supposed to make a storyboard of the PSA we plan to make. Wish us luck!

PSA Topic Opinion
Hello again, and today I am going to tell you my personal opinion on the topic of my PSA, which is child abuse.
I plan to focus more on physical abuse, which I find terrible. I went through physical abuse of my own, when my dad hit both me and my stepbrother (who was not my stepbrother at the time, and had no relation to us whatsoever). I was about four then, and I was wearing a cast on my leg at the time. I also recall seeing my 5-6 year old halfbrother Isaac hit hard around the legs by my dad as well, about eight years later. During my research into the subject of physical child abuse, I found out that parents and guardians are not the only people who hurt children, oh no. The boyfriend of a mother of a child struck the child while the mother was out, and I believe the child was killed.
But do you want to know what I think the worst part about it is? The assailants actually get away with it, or get low charges. In the example above, the boyfriend only got two years in prison, when he should have received ten years at least for manslaughter, more so if intentional.
In my PSA, I am going to make sure that people worldwide know what is going on to these unfortunate children, and to make sure it is stamped out once and for all.

Recap
Sorry I have not published a post recently, I have had problems with my internet, so I have had trouble accessing internet sites. So now I am going to tell you what happened in class the past few weeks.
In Design, we had to ask three people about us (personality, potentional, etc) and I was suprised by some answers more than others.
I also had to find five personal logos that we liked from logopond.com and write about three of them.
Then I had to fill a page in my process journal (notebook) which took a while. It was to be based on the initials of my name.
In Technology, we had to watch three PSAs that were posted on our teacher's blog. Then we had to go onto Youtube, find a PSA that I liked and post it on my blog, which, because of technical difficulties, I will post on a later date.
We are now about to create our own PSA, and we had to write a design brief. My issue is going to be child abuse.
