Poster

Merdeka celebration is the famous words among all of us recently. Yes,this is because we are celebrating it by the end of this month. Last week,during technology class, we were instructed to do the poster for merdeka. It was a group work and it has to be done within half an hour. The templates and pictures were given and we must use which were available only. I fine that it was not a good idea by asssigning us to choose the templates given because it confined our creativity and innovativity. However, the pictures provided were good because they really reflected Malaysian such as multi racial, old generations, sky scrappers building and also the nature to show the harmonious country. From my point of view, the instructions was effective but it can always be improved. For the improvement, I would suggests the task can be done individually because everyone has their own ideas and intrepretation about merdeka. Therefore, the posters can be one way to express everyone thoughts and it is good if we can use blogspot to publish our posters. Instead of using poster, they are other ways that can be used such as song or poem creations. About the resources, it would be better if we can choose any pictures or templates to design our posters. Besides, the time frame should be longer so that more creative ideas can be put in the posters. Furthermore, we should be given enough time to think about the reasons for using the particular colours, fonts, pictures and also arrangement of the posters. During the last session, we did not have enough time because we were busy designing the posters and while waiting for the turn to present only we discussed about what we are going to say. I think this design session can be carrried out in the primary school by making it as a poster design competition with ample time allocation. This is because I want to see the primary pupils' ideas arranged in organize way. If it is a rush, then the pupils just do it how much they can do without proper organization of thoughts. Finally, to conclude this blog, I want to say that TIME is hectic when we are doing the poster last week. That is why I emphasize more about time.
