Investigation
How Can my Learning Help My Community In the past week we have learning how to use GIMP and develop skills. Now that I have learned how to use GIMP, I have started investigating the unit/unit question involving making safety poster so I researched to try and find out what makes a good poster: (using smart art) Problem: Most safety posters today are ignored either because they don’t attract much attention or they are heaped up with so much information making people less interested And then I went online and found some examples of good safety posters.

Creation


Creation
 * Our task was to create safety posters that would help our school community ||

We created these posters using GIMP computer software. Our goals were to make simple but effective saftey posters that people would take notice of. I did my poster on eye protection for safety in the science lab. On my poster I used a safety coloued background so I doesn’t look complex. I had just a few words that explained the message I wanted to send with this poster. And I used some pictures to help explain my poster.
