Very good editing image lots of tools and easy to use. Not as good as Photoshop put still a good graphic programme.

Violent Video Games

2010-05-06T06:30:00.000-07:00

Do violent computer games cause aggressive behaviour?

My Views-No I don’t think they do because I been playing Video Games for years and I never got angry with games or aggressive I played Manhunt1 when I was about 11 or 12 years old it was a good game but violent but I didn’t get angry and cause violent behaviour and I just played Manhunt 2 it’s a bit sick but it should not of been banned I played the cut version. So I played the game with the blur affect.

In My research I read Violent Games affect behaviour from the BBC news page.
(List main points)
It said about the research that they done about computer games.
They have some good points but I don’t think they have the right to decide what we play.
This is a speech from Professor David Buckingham
The truth is there are many factors that can lead to violence such as being withdrawn and isolated so it is hard to say it is because of one thing.

Problems I had

2010-05-06T06:28:00.001-07:00

I went on a website that had lyrics for my big country music but I couldn’t copy and paste it.
I went to get a image from Google and looked up fireworks it was on Google image went on full size it was blocked I didn’t want a small image that didn’t look good when you make it bigger on power point.

I chose different images on Google image and I went on a different website for the lyrics.

Presentation Review

2010-05-06T06:25:00.000-07:00

Presentation Review
What the presentation were for
I had to make a slide show for the Oaks hotel and the Playstation presentation
Differences
I made the presentation look clearer to read and got big images to stand out for my Playstation and oaks hotel presentation.
What I did
I used power point 2007 to write about the Oaks hotel and Playstation. I wrote a presentation telling people how good the Oaks hotel and Playstation is and trying to get people staying there for they holidays and get people buying the Playstation 3
I said about the leisure services that you can do at the Oaks hotel and what times they are and telling you can go on you tube with the ps3 using an internet browser. We had trouble getting images off the internet on the college computer so Andrew used his laptop and saved the image and email it to me on msn. We used photo plus to make the image stand out and make it look a lot better.
