Contrast,Repetition,Alignment,Proximity

Understanding Contrast

• Using small and large fonts
• Using colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel.
• Having dark coloured text on a light coloured background and light coloured text on a dark coloured background.
• Dark and light coloured colours include black and white.
• Both cards have exactly the same information
• The second card has a contrasting font size and makes use of contrasting background/text colours

  Understanding Repetition

• There are two types of repetition...

• The first is repeating the same word a number of times "Sale Sale Sale" uses repetition to get the message across. In this case that there is a sale on
• The second repetition is the same as consistency. If you choose a particular font size/colour for a heading or body text you should stick to it.
• It repeats the title three times to help emphasize what the flyer is about

Understanding Alignment

• Alignment is a big word that basically means making sure things line up. None of the examples we have done so far has had any sort of alignment needed.
• Alignment is needed when you have blocks of images or text. It also means not mixing left, right, centre and justified alignment when blocks are close to each other.
• The company name lines up with the photo at the top. The email address does the same at the bottom.
• Using the arrow keys to move objects around one pixel at a time.
• Increasing or reducing the size of the space between words to help get the size to match.
• Using separate text boxes for each block of text and making use of the alignment options
• To get more precise font sizes type in the font size such as 10.5

Understanding Similarity and Proximity 

• In the three examples, all show good use of similarity. The first on size, the second on colour and the third on the shape.
• Proximity is another word for close. It just means keeping things that are similar/ related close to each other.
• You should not put half of a person's address at the top of a document and the other half at the bottom.

Willowbank Trip

Last Tuesday 4th of June 2019 my ESOL class and I went on a school trip to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. My fellow classmates had never been on Willowbank before but for me, It’s my third time that I went there because every year my dad’s company always had a Christmas Annual Party there so I’m not new to it.

When we arrived at Willowbank it was bloody cold. The first thing that Ms Briggs do is final counting or checking of us who was there and who’s not. She handles us out an animal food that we can give and feed the animals. Finally, Ms.briggs divide us up into 3 groups so we can roam around and enjoy it unless if she’s with 24 students.

As we walking around I found out that one of my friends is scared of any kinds of birds as like chicken, duck any many more. I enjoy that time cause I was just laughing so hard on her. She was shaking and her knees were so knobbly, even though she so scared. I never left her alone I stay on her side and support that she needs to face her fear.

Information Report

Kea also knew as a (“Nestor notabilis”) is a unique endemic species of large parrot in the family, which you can only find in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

Kea well. Raucous cries of "kea" often give away the presence of these highly social and inquisitive birds. However, their endearing and mischievous behaviour can cause conflict with people. Kea will often congregate around novel objects, and their strong beaks have enormous manipulative power. Kea grows up to 50 cm long and although mostly vegetarian, also enjoy grubs and insects. The kea is related to the forest kaka (Nestor meridionalis). It is thought to have developed its own special characteristics during the last great ice age, by using its unusual powers of curiosity in its search for food in a harsh landscape. Nests are usually found among boulders in high altitude forest where the birds lay between two and four eggs during the breeding season from July and January.

Keas have green feathers to camouflage them in trees. They also have 4 toes on each foot which allows them to manipulate objects. Keas’ beaks are long and curved which enable them to eat different types of food. Kea live on a forested and rocky mountain. In summer, they live on top of the mountain and in winter, they go down the mountain. They can be found in the South Island of New Zealand. Keas live for about 5 to 25 years in the wild and about 50 years in captivity. Kea breed from early July to January. The Kea’s nest is mainly below the tree line. Baby keas, stay in the nest for about 12 weeks with their mother, while their father hunts for food. The keas population size is now difficult because of the extensive range, low kea density, and rugged terrain. The conservation status of keas was declared naturally endangered in 2013.
