Photo Journalism: The Problem Solving process consists of a sequence of sections that fit together depending on the type of problem to be solved. These are:

• Problem Definition.
• Problem Analysis.
• Generating possible Solutions.
• Analyzing the Solutions.
• Selecting the best Solution(s).
• Planning the next course of action (Next Steps)
  
  Define and Identify the Problem 
  This first step is critical.  It is essential for each group member to clearly understand the problem so that all energy will be focused in the same direction.  A good way to define the problem is to write down a concise statement which summarizes the problem, and then write down where you want to be after the problem has been resolved.  The objective is to get as much information about the problem as possible.  It may be helpful to divide the symptoms of the problem into  hard  and soft  data.
  
  Six Steps to Decision Making
  - Be Alert
  - Gather Information and Do Not Jump to Conclusions
  - State The Case Briefly
  - What Decisions Have to Be Made?
  - By Whom?

Today we finished up our flower icons on adobe illustrator.

Week 3: Monday, January 10, 2011

Today we worked in Adobe Illustrator creating the flower icon. This was a new experience for me.
We used tools such as: Stroke, Fill, Gradient and colour. we needed to use the pen tool to draw a series of straight and curvy lines to create the flower petals. Next we needed to remove the stroke/ outline.
Unfortunately i did not complete this project today, and should have it posted tomorrow.

Today we used flash and masked text to create an affect.
you were told to take a picture on imovie import it to flash then use the text tool to create your name then mask it to have your picture sliding behind.
Although i did all steps correctly something went wrong.
Mr. D checked it out and couldnt find the problem

Today we worked in flash again, the project was to follow a tutorial video and make a "glint" affect to the word FLASH. We had to use new effects such as glint, mask and linear.
It was easy for me to follow the video and use Flash.
I have attached my final FLASH glint animation.
