Quarter 4



The activity that I will be doing this reflection on is the website that I used for creating a Motivational Poster. A Motivational Poster is usually used for motivating (as the name implies) and it mostly has a black border, a picture in the top center of the poster, and a line or two under the picture and this is what is used to motivate in the form of words. The words are, most of the time, a caption for the picture. Also, above the picture, there is a title that of the actual thing. The site that we used to create the motivational poster is called http://www.bighugelabs.com/.

I think that the purpose of this activity is to understand the uses of some websites like http://www.bighugelabs.com/ and understand what you can do with them. For example: you are able to create these motivational posters and hang them up on some kind of door like your cabinet door so that every time you open it to take your clothes and start the day; you are slightly motivated. This can help conquer any very tiny day to day problems that every person in the world experiences and it can never fail to remind you to do whats right or whatever is on the motivational poster that you did.

I have learned how to create a motivational poster using the website http://www.bighugelabs.com/ as a resource. When you are on this website, you can move the cursor towards the link that says Motivator and then click on it. Once you do that, a set of settings will show up on the screen and these settings and options are what you are able to use to create the motivational poster using http://www.bighugelabs.com/. You are able to change the color of the text that you are writing as a caption for the picture of the motivational poster (if you are going to have text) and there is also an option that will let you browse for any images and pictures that you want to use to put inside the imagery area of the motivational poster. Once you do that, you are able to choose a title for the entire motivational poster and this is sometimes a very good motivator, meaning that you do not have a very neccessary need for any caption at all. There are also some extra options that most motivational posters do not have like making the usually black background be a different color like white or red etc.

There is not much that I would have wanted to change in the creation of the motivational poster because I believe that the idea and the whole motivation aspect of it is quite well made by me. Also, I would not have wanted to change the actual background color because black is, in my opinion, the best color to use in this type of motivation because the color black is usually described to be darkness and unmotivational. This means when I put the black background in contrast to the white caption, title, and also the image, it can help motivate a person to do something and defy the darkness or evil that can haunt your day to day activities and also the failures that can get very on your nerves sometimes.

This activity really does contribute to my goal this year because it is to better understand how the world of technology (including computers, electronic items, and also the internet). This is very useful to know in the twenty-first century and being able to understand this website really does help me understand more about the internet since it is website after all.
