Posters on-line: Glogster

Glogster
Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or "glogs". The glog, short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. Currently this social network has hundreds of thousands registered users. The majority of the Glogster community are teenagers.
Glogster provides an environment to design interactive posters. The user inserts text, images, photos, audio (MP3), videos, special effects and other elements into their glogs to generate a multimedia online creation. Posters can be shared with other people. Glogs can also be exported and saved to computer-compatible formats.

So, you will be able to generate a poster with this tool in order to congratulate a friend, to express yourself, the music or sports your are fond of, social poster or even a school task (instead of using PowerPoint, for example) and you will be very original.

Have a look to glogs made by 2ºESO for Soldier Kids Contest.


If you want, you can create your ONCE advertisment using this tool, but as we will have to get it printed, it will not be a great idea to insert audio or video elements in your final artwork. You will need to register.

And very important: follow the advices for a good poster we saw some months ago (with Glogster you tend to use too many elements).


You can find more information and examples in my old Spanish Plástica Blog.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming =  Tormenta o lluvia de ideas

We are going to use this team-based creative thinking technique to make ideas come up:

  • Name of your team.
  • Name of the travel agency.
  • Slogan of your ad.







What NOT TO DO while brainstorming:

Pictograms

PICTOGRAMS (pictogramas) - SIGNAGE (señalética)
Graphic Sign: It's a simple image that represents an object, an idea, or transmits information.  They are very schematic, use universal codes and simple geometric shapes.











Some ideas from Alicia Ruiz in Flicker.


Advertising

Advertising is a message paid by an identified advertiser that uses the mass media to persuade potential consumers and users to demand a particular product or service. Graphic design in advertising uses images and texts to create the most effective results.


In order to do the task, review what we learned months ago about posters and slogans.


And talking about ads... Something you SHOULD know: ¡NO DEJES QUE TE UTILICEN!

Un viaje para tod@s

After the good results in our last contest, now we are going to participate in a new one:

Although I will give you all the instructions, you should visit the contest web: 27 concurso ONCE.

CATEGORÍAS C (1ºESO) Y D (4ºESO):

El trabajo consiste en la realización de un cartel publicitario para una agencia de viajes que oferte su mejor producto:
Un viaje para tod@s.
Es decir, aquel viaje que también tenga en cuenta las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad para acceder a él y disfrutarlo en igualdad de oportunidades.
I think the competition is a good opportunity to raise awareness of the limitations of some people and try to make things easier for them on the day to day. Besides, all of you will work in groups (sketches and final work, of course).


It will be a great idea if you visit a real travel agency to inspire you (Viajes acceSIbles, Cruceros sin barreras, AccesibleBarcelona, AdaptamosGroup) or have a look to images in Google in Spanish and in English.


Blind perspective, by Four Docs
This video illustrates the sounds that a blind person hears.


Link to last year ONCE contest. They had to design the cover of a book. You can see every work published in a huge mosaic and a video with a lot of images to inspire you:



"Un viaje para tod@s" task

So, your task will be an advertisment "paid by a travel agency" to persuade potential disabled persons to book a trip, travel, journey, tour, drive, cruise or whatever you can imagine. It will be interesting to read and watch the information I will give you about ADVERTISMENTS and PICTOGRAMS very soon.




Joaquín's Golf. Joaquin Rodrigo was a famous Spanish composer, who, despite becoming blind at the age of three, learned how to play the piano and violin with the help of Braille. But let's pretend that Joaquin liked to get out of the concert hall and play some golf - blindness didn't stop him from composing music, so why should it stop him from whacking a little white ball?.
VozMe. Write something into the box and click to generate an MP3 file. Listen. Do you know what this tool could be used for? 
Loquendo. I'm sure some of you have heard about Loquendo. But you were in a mistake. Try it here.
Computing for disabled people. Have a look to these tools I collected some years ago.
