My First Page

This is the first page I have ever made using the Adobe In Design software. To insert the images I  had to use the frame tool and then place the image by selecting it from where I had saved it which was my desktop. Then I had to make the image fit proportionally to the rectangle in was in so I had to go to the object tab at the top. I then had to click fill image proportionally. I then did this with two other images but with one of the two it was a circle. This was the same process as before but using the circular frame tool. To make the other image triangular I had to select it with the black arrow then select the white arrow. Then if I clicked on one of the corners I could drag the image in on it's self until it looked like a triangle. 

Things you can do with Blogger

• With blogger you can produce a step by step guide on how you created something, in my case it will be my media coursework.
• You can also use it to write a journal or diary of experiences.
• You can add images,videos and animations to your blog.
• You can also add links to external websites. 
• Other People can then view your blog and see what it is you have posted about. This makes it useful for learning because someone could have blogged about a subject that you were interested on so you would simply find it and be able to read about it.
• You can earn money from blogging by putting adverts for products on your blog and when someone buys this product you can earn some commission.                

How I think Blogger will be useful for my coursework

I think that Blogger will be useful in my media coursework because I will be able to show what I'm doing as I'm doing it. So it will be like a guide to how I created my coursework and the problems I faced as well as how I overcame those problems. The fact that this is online means that I can access it from anywhere so that I can produce work and post it straight away so I will not forget and lose marks later on. It is also helpful because it will be like evidence of how I got to the final piece so that it is all my own work.
