2. At least three images or screenshots showing various work-in-progress versions while you were doing one of the two tutorials.

3. One image of the final artwork you created through the tutorial.

4. Using the techniques in the tutorials you viewed, submit one image of your own original simple artwork created by using the software you chose.

5. Show your original digital artwork to a friend or peer for and in a short report, and describe opportunities of refinement and personal improvement based your peer’s feedback. Describe at least three sustainability issues, safety and health procedures and practices you

Hi Colleen,

I like the theme that you chose for your composition. I nearly did the same type of thing (with the floating sharks), but I changed my mind at the last minute. I also had a look at some of your blog sites. It took me quite some time to go through it all - as you always do such a thorough job in many of the tasks. I thought you did really well with managing to get a lot of your work out there on multiple websites. Good to see!

Describe at least three sustainability issues, safety and health procedures and practices you want to observe when using the design software you chose.

My safety plan will include:

1.  Being aware of and abiding by the potential hazards
2.  Setting up equipment – cameras and computers;
3.  Sitting correctly at my work station and taking regular breaks

Sustainability:

1. turning off lights and equipment when not in use;
2.  minimising resource usage;
3. Using recycled materials.
