Summary On Graphics

During my twelve weeks at graphics I made a fake plastic juice cartoon box. The hardest part of making this was finding out what colour I was gonna do my backround.

We first started researching to find out what kind of fruit we each wanted to name it, I named mine blackcurrant knot. After that we then all moved on to publishing it on to a paper that folds into a juice cartoon. Once we did that we had to find out where we were gonna draw our barcode, ingredients, our straw our backround and a puzzle or a maze. Once that was all done I then did my backround but again that was confusing so I just did it what ever colour I thought would go with blackcurrant.

Lastly we cut it out then glued that cut out on to another piece of paper. When we were finished glueing it we had to give it to Mrs fergureson so she could laminate it. After laminating it we did out last cut out which was cutting out the laminating peices we didnt need. We then used scissors and a ruler to shaepen the ends to be able to make the folds perfect. Lastly we had to hot glue gun it all together so it wouldn't fall into pieces.

Smart Learners !

As smart learners you know that you understand what people are trying to say and sometimes demonstrate people that dont know what to do. If you are a cybersmart learner you'll spend more time learning on devices then doing other things. Being a cybersmart learner means you are just on devices for the whole time during your programme. While being a smart learner you get to learn new and newer things to do on chromebooks.

Fire At The Auckland Sky City Convention Centre

On the 22nd of october 2019 there was a fire that had hit the auckland sky city convention centre. 

Large flames were coming out of the building just after 1pm. The fire started in the roof cavity and it’s been difficult for firefighter’s to get inside the building and to the top. It then went on the seventh floor before spreading to the sixth. St John says one person has been admitted to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition and more than 200 people made it out in time before it had started coming down because of the fire happening, there are less and less people not wanting to go to any of the restraurants in or near the Sky City.
