Key ring

As soon as we entered the class and Mark informed us we would be making key-rings for the first half of the lesson, I immediately had a positive attitude. We went through it step by step and were told what each specific feature would do. For example, how bleed and slugs would affect the page. Although the task very challenging due to the precise measurements, it was very enjoyable. I inserted my name and chose the font and size I wanted. My favourite moment was when Mark told me I should get an award for the world’s worst font ever chosen- in my defence, I still believe it looked quite edgy. We then printed our 3D keyrings on the colour of our choice. It was amazing to see how the 3D printer works. Now, the second half of the lesson was opening Adobe InDesign and changing the formats. Mark showed us step-by-step on how to do this for the following week’s lesson. We did it at a very slow pace and I felt as though the lesson was being dragged. However, I wasn’t too bothered as I knew that the slow pace was beneficial for everyone. By Mark showing us this slowly, helped to include everyone and made sure that nobody felt left out just because they didn’t understand it as well, and I thought this was very effective teaching on Marks behalf.
