Virtual task 1

Found Environmental Alphabets

Look around and search shapes of letters in your own daily surroundings (both nature and manmade/artificial) and take photos from them. Try to avoid ready characters of the alphabet in signs etc. and on the contrary try to discover letter forms in unusual places.
Your task is to collect enough photos to write your first name. After collecting the photos you should create photo collage = ”write your name with the photos” and load the collage into VIWO pages.

Aims:

Introducing ourselves to other ViWo- learners

Learning to observe our own environment differently than usual.

Sharing and commenting the results virtually.
Technical skills needed:

Photographing

Image processing /merging photos to one

Some ready ideas to start with:
Found alphabet
Environmental typography
Creative alphabets

Some information about saving your "name" in to the blog page. When you create the photo collage in photoshop or in other image processing program please check these things:

• resolution max. 150 ppi, even 72ppi is enough
• max. amount of pixels 800x800
• only possible file formats are jpg, png and gif

And then when you post your name collage into the VIWO blogpages check these things:

• name your post with your first name
• add labels to your post (name of your school and Virtual task1) because then it is easier to find later all posts for the same task.
• you can write as much as you want about yourself in to the post or comments, but remember that these pages are open for all to read and comment (at least at the moment pages are public).

When you have loaded photo into the blogpage you can choose how large the photo is on the screen. I have used the largest option.
