Introduction

For the second assessment of the Digital Imaging Software module, it is necessary to compile a project logbook in the form of an online blog to document the progress over time. Below is the situation brief which specifies the necessary elements to include when compiling this project logbook.

Assessment 2 (40% of Module Grade)

Assessment 2 consists of a project logbook detailing how you achieved the work. This logbook should go into considerable technical detail (“I did this, I did that…” is not enough) of the principles used and the reasons for the technical decisions you have made.

The following statement is a good example of what is expected: “I decided to create the overlapping text effect by placing text on different layers, because it would be easy to adjust the arrangement later without retyping all the text”.

The logbook will show your complete project design process through images, annotations, sketches, notes, references, etc. It will also act as a design log where you record:

• What you are doing for each stage of the project.
• What works and what doesn’t.
• Why you have made decision x etc.

You should consider the logbook not only as a record of the actions you have taken, but an ongoing evaluation of your progress. You should also ensure that you also consider:

• The success of your final designs in terms of what works and what doesn’t.
• What you would do differently next time.
• What you would spend more or less time on next time, etc.

You should work on this as you go. It is impossible to write this up after the fact because you would miss a huge amount of detail. The log book should take the form of an online blog.
