Summary of the Year

Today is the last class I will have as a Multimedia student in Dunboyne College of further Education. This will be my last post on this blog and I will give a detailed Summary of my year as a Multimedia Student in Dunboyne College of Further Education.
Design
Looking back on the year I would consider it a complete success, I have completed assignments and tasks to a high standard that I would not have had the ability to do a short few months ago. In assignments such as "Green Hands", "Scungilli" and "Raven View Guest House" I followed the Design Brief I was given and with various techniques such as brainstorming, researching the neccessary material and working successfully within a group I completed all assignments and tasks. I also had to produce a collection of work folder that contained every task I completed in Design for the year.
Multimedia Authoring
During the year in Multimedia Authoring I completeed several tasks where I learnt and implemented several skills that helped me complete various tasks. I had to produce a collection of work at the end of the year providing evidence of Editing, Animation, Interactive & Navigational Skills, Contol of Volume, Tempo and Duration & Instruction Guidelines. Our final assignment was a group assignment where we had to Design and Create an Interactive Multimedia Quiz.
Multimedia Project Developement
 Over the year in Multimedia Project Developement we learned how important it is to meet deadlines successfully and that working in a group can produce excellent results in terms of projects beeen developed. I had two main projects that covered Multimedia Project Developement, the first one was to evaluate and give a detailed description of a Kodak photo Kiosk. The second main project was the Multimedia Interactive Quiz. My group created our quiz through PowerPoint and made it a general knowledge Interactive Quiz.

Overall I thouroughly enjoyed my year as a Multimedia Student in Dunboyne College of Further Education. I learned several new techniques as well as improved my general IT skills that helped me produce a high level of work throughout the year and which will ultimateley be highly beneficial to me in my preferred course: Computer Applications in DCU.
