Student 1
I chose the images that I used from the ones given because they were very manageable
If I had the project to do again I would choose the following source images water lilies and sunset
The easiest part of the project was defining the picture to your choice
The hardest part of the project was learning how to use the program
I liked the picture editor because it allowed you to make your own master piece in a manner of speaking. I disliked the way the colours didn’t always do what you wanted them to do.

If I had the project to do again I would choose the following source images
I would choose some different patterns probably different writing styles and crop it in different places
The easiest part of the project was cropping and choosing the pictures.
The hardest part of the project was putting it together and deciding on the colours
I liked all of it. It was really fun to do
I disliked none of it

My best achievement was to actually finish a project for once
I would give myself the following grade for effort G – Good
For achievement: 5 - Exceptional work
         

Student 3
I chose the images that I used from the ones given because:
I wanted a tropical theme to make my designs colourful rather than dull colours.
If I had the project to do again I would choose the following source images:
I would use a normal tree for my design or use different kinds of pictures like fruits, such as an apple.
The easiest part of the project was finding a picture that I liked and thought would look good in a design.
The hardest part of the project was changing the colour of my design using the negative controls in Microsoft Photo Editor.

  image based on palm leaves
I liked cropping some of the parts of my altered image to make different designs.
I disliked doing the same thing to my designs, due to the lack of knowledge of Microsoft photo editor and Macromedia fireworks. My best achievement was making a design in a union jack format.
I would give myself the following grade for achievement:  4 - work above average I would give myself the following grade for effort: G – Good

What did you learn by doing this project? By doing this project I have learnt how to group objects, use photo editor and I have learnt how to change the perspective of my photos, e.g. stain glass.
Where did technology help you in this project? In this project the technology has helped me to copy and paste selected pictures & to change the shape & perspective of particular parts, it has also grouped 3 pictures together to make them into 1. What skills have you learned as a result of working on this project?
During this project I have become more familiar with using photo editor and I will be able to use it again in the future! I have also learnt how to group lots of pictures to make them into a whole.
I would give myself the following grade for achievement:  4 - work above average
I would give myself the following grade for effort: G – Good
