new pupils coming into Year 7.
It wants a house style which follows the school’s existing house style
but which will also be appealing to 10 and 11 year olds.
The multimedia version can be in the form of a slideshow or web
pages.
You are required to use ICT hardware and software to produce this
new multimedia guide. Clear evidence must be provided.
The multimedia guide should be of at least six pages or slides. The
following slides list exactly what you need to do

looping
3D
etc.
4. Explain the timings and / or frame rates you have used
5. Create an animated banner combining text and graphics

Write your evaluation you can do this as you go along or whenyou
have completed all the work.
Include the following:
evaluation of working practice
description of the suitability and effectiveness of the features analysed
evaluation of tools and techniques used
justification of choice of image, movies, sound and animation
optimisation
consideration of download times and file size
comments on modifications made with reasons
suggestions for improvement
consideration of output to the web
evaluation of effectiveness of final solution
