Software Testing: Canva

Image
  In previous posts, I tested various software that could be used to create the Flip Book. In this particular post, I will be testing Canva , an application that helped me create a cover for my magazine article.  First, I opened the website and registered using my email. Next, I started to look for the right template by pressing the button 'Doc' and searching for the Magazine Article template.  On the photo below, you can see what picture I chose. I chose it, because I liked the structure, the composition of colors and even the font.  In order to improve the cover, I deleted all the text that was there and pasted the one that describes my project.   My last step was that I changed the background picture at the top by downloading the right image from the Internet. Then I deleted the previous image and pasted a new one. However, I had to edit it to make the text look good, not to merge with the background and it could be read. Below are the settings I applied to the photo.  This

Software Testing: Publuu

  In past posts, I’ve been talking about different software that can do Flip Books. In this post, I will talk about the platform that I used as my end result in creating the project. In this post, I will talk about Publuu. The first thing I did when I started the website, I registered. There was a free trial period that I used.  My next action was that I uploaded my project by pressing 'Upload your PDF' button. This software allows to load two pdf files at once, and I used it to load my magazine cover and respectively my project.  Since I was completely satisfied with the design of my project, I did not resort to editing, but I uploaded the picture to the background to make it look less boring. In the photo below, you can see the result. Reflection: The software was quite easy to use. I had no problem creating Flip Book and the end result I successfully uploaded to my website. 

Software Testing: FlipSnack

 Since I test different platforms for my project, in this post I will consider a program like FlipSnak.   The first thing I did when I opened the website was register. After I checked in, a window popped up, using which I uploaded my project by clicking the Upload File button. In the photo below, you can see the menu I used to edit my project. By clicking the Appearance button, I added the Flip Sounds feature. Then I clicked on the Branding button and uploaded the image from the Internet, which is suitable for the topic of my project.  Below, please look at my final result. Reflection: I really liked this program because it provides quite a lot of opportunities, besides what I showed. There you can even edit or add text. Also of the advantages is that it is quite easy and interesting to use. Of the cons, I can note that in order to use this software people will have to buy a subscription. I also came up with the problem that I just couldn’t download my work. That’s why I used a differe

Software testing: Flipping Book

 In this and subsequent posts, I would like to test the platforms that would help me create my journal article. In this particular post, I’m going to take a visual example of how I used the Flipping Book . Also at the end, I will share my impressions about this software.  First of all, I opened Flipping Book website and signed up with my google account.  After I registered, a pop-up window asked me to upload my material. Since I already had my project ready I pushed the button 'Download PDF'.  In less than 30 seconds, my project looked like a magazine(see below). After my project was fully loaded, I started editing. The first thing I wanted to do was change the background from gray to something brighter. To do this, I pressed the Skin button and chose the picture I liked from those you can see below. I chose the picture, which is called the School Board, but it was too bright, so I decided to correct this moment so that the reader was not distracted by things he did not need. T

  As my continuation root is Media with Communication, I chose a project called ''The Psychological Influence of Advertisement''. In order to make my project as good as possible, I decided to do some research on different people who are related to the Marketing sphere and are or were successful in it. In this post, I would like to share some information about a person like Harlow Gale.  Harlow Sterns Gale(June 29, 1862, Minneapolis) was a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota and a municipal officer for the city of Minneapolis. He is known for his advanced training in advertising from its psychological side. He studied consumer psychology and lectured on this subject. Harlow Sterns Gale was a leading thinker on the psychology of advertising. He was twice sacked, then re-employed at the university and finally forced to resign in 1903. Even after graduation, he continued to work as an independent researcher, teacher and lecturer, ran a private psychologic

 As my continuation root is Media with Communication, I chose a project called ''The Psychological Influence of Advertisement''. In order to make my project as good as possible, I decided to do some research on different people who are related to the Marketing sphere and are or were successful in it. In this particular post, I would like to share with you some information about a person like Mary Kay Ash. Mary Kay Ash Mary Kay Ash (born on May 12, 1918, in Hot Wells, Texas) is a woman who started her cosmetics company in 1963 and soon became a dollar billionaire, thanks to her skills to sell the products.   Ash began her career as a salesman at Stanley Home Products. In order to bring the company as much as possible, she organized parties where people wanted to buy various items from the company for which she worked.

UX Testing My Website

Image
Today, I created the UX Testing form, which is an aid in getting feedback from users. In my case, I created a UX Testing form to learn about what I can improve on my website and get feedback from my readers.  To fill out the form, please follow the link below. This will help my site to develop.  Feedback and UX Testing To make this form, I opened my Google Drive and pressed the '+New' button, where I clicked on Google Forms in the opened menu. After opening a new page, I added a title, which you can see in the photo above, as well as a short description for who this form is and why I created it.  For this form, I used type of questions called 'Multiple choice', because it is the easiest type of question for users to answer. In almost every question(except of the two last ones) I put 4 types of answers (Excellent-Good-Fine-Poor) with descriptions to let people know what it means.  Since I had a little trouble creating the Portfolio page in the mobile version, I wrote dow

Website creation: Portfolio Page

Image
 In today’s post, I’ll tell you how I created the Portfolio page. In the photo below, you can see how page looked like before the editing.  I saved the title for the page and wrote a little greeting. In the photo below you can see how I changed the text from the original version to the final version and how it looks like.  Also, I deleted all the photos that were originally on the page, because then I will add my own pictures that will be relevant to my project.  In the photos below I have inserted pictures of how the end result of my editing in the computer and mobile versions looks.  In addition to editing the Portfolio page of my website, I also edited the page on which I will publish my project later and called this 'Project Page'.  I wrote the title, as well as the type of my project and the release date. In addition, I wrote a short description of what the reader can see. Looking at the photo below, you can see exactly what I wrote.  Having done all this, I am ready to sh

Website Creation: Contact Page

Image
 In this post, I will talk about how I created the Contact page on my website with the help of a program called Wix .  The first thing I did was I pressed the Add Section button on the left side of the menu and looked at the different options and I chose the one I liked the most.  In the left corner, I added text that would help to understand the importance of feedback from readers and employers. I used themes such as 'Heading 3 and Paragraph 2' for the text. Also, I used such fonts as Oswald Medium(for the Heading) and Futura (for the Paragraph 2). They compose perfectly among themselves and do not cause rejection. Under the 'Send' button, I wrote 'Thank you for submitting', as I wanted to show the importance of each person.   Creating a Contact Page for me was probably the easiest, because the program already made the template. I like combining of white and black colors because it’s a classic choice. Also, the design of the fonts looks good and is easily perc
