called Ipiccy! I found the use of this program much easier( allo#ing me to comforta'ly develop and

experiment #ith various modes! &his definitely helped me to save time #ithin editing processes( allo#ing meto direct the image manipulation process of #hat I #ant to o'tain #ithin final outcome!

various fonts depending on the template( different si*e ( 'uilding up and decreasing significance of text! )esides( fromthat I effectively complemented my #ork #hich I have carried out on programs such as ,o#er,oint! I simply saved the

outcomes as photographs and then placed them in listed a'ove #e'sites! &his allo#ed my #ork to 'e more engaging

through various transformations o'tained simply through clicking! %nother engaging approach of presenting my #ork #as

developed through the use of Sound9loud! Within my ancillary $uestionnaire I have created first audio 'ased recording!

&his #as something ne# for me as I never used audio as a method of presenting my #ork! I found it $uite engaging as

the vie#ers could simply listen rather than read piles of text! %s I found this method $uite effective I have developed it

notes on given ans#ers! /inally( the opinion of automatic print allo#ed me to develop the

online source of responses through paper $uestionnaire! %fter constructing and gaining

feed'ack from 'oth sources I have used online #e'sites such as Slideshare( ,re*i or

8ma*e to compare gathered responses( analyse them and make final conclusions! I

found the use of Survey:onkey essential #ithin my feed'ack area as it significantly

increased my opportunities of gaining feed'ack from #ide range of audience!
