Testing Different Title Slide Designs

Something I've really enjoyed this semester has been coming up with the design elements of my work. And something I've always had a huge passion for is typography, so I loved getting to mess around with my font choices. You can see below all the variations I went through for each presentation's cover slide, before settling on the final designs (shown in the larger images).

Designing My Robot

This post shows my experimentation to come up with the design I've landed on for R4Y, the robot mascot of my KS3 presentation...






This is my final design. I really like the simplicity of him, and his bright eyes. I plan to keep this one image of him, and bring the intrigued and movement to my slides through a Tellytubby-esque screen on his stomach that is animated.

Social Media Policy - Ludlow CofE School

The first school I decided to contact was Ludlow CofE School. This was an easy choice for me, as - having attended this school - I feel I have a sense of rapport with them already. To start a conversation, I first look into the school's published E-Safety and Safeguarding policies. From here, I could potentially identify themes that are important to schools when discussing social media, as well as picking up on areas that they are potentially missing out on. Below is what I found...


In the grand scheme of their full policies, social media is only covering in a shockingly small section. There is not any detail on how these important things will be communicated to the students. While I understand that this is maybe expected from a policy document, I also feel like this is a little too vague, and could leave it too open to interpretation from teachers.
