Preparing the images for the layout You will need to use a hybrid Bitmap and Vector software application such as Fireworks to prepare the image to be inserted in the Serif Page Plus DTP application The help tutorials will explain some of the more advanced features you will need to use at this level

Create an A1 Poster for the exhibition stand Demonstrate the use of editing tools to edit and manipulate images Think about abstracting in design

Minimum Evidence of your progress as you learn new features Working with Bitmaps Working with Vectors Applying colour strokes and fills Using Live filters Layering, Masking and Blending Optimising and Exporting images

Minimum Evidence to show Working with Bitmaps Creating a bitmap object Accessing and using photo editing tools Cloning Retouching bitmap Adjusting colour and tone Blurring and sharpening bitmaps Adding noise to an image

Export Wizard and optimised file format from TIFF to JPEG (smaller file)

As you work use the features! Make design notes about what works and more importantly what doesn’t work.
