Introduction to Digital Design Class

Introduction To DTP:

Hi there! My name is Yahya and I have a keen interest in computers and technology. Speaking of computers and technology, I like my Digital Design class as we learn how to do new things that we haven't learnt before. It is also really interesting because this class also teaches me how to apply new skills and helps me with my work.


In Digital Design Class we learnt how to upload images on a CD cover. So in this blog, I will put my prior knowledge with the new things I learnt in Microsoft Publisher and show you how to make your own CD cover with steps.

Over here, below are the steps in order to make your CD cover:

STEPS:

Step 1: Go to Microsoft Publisher.
Step 2: Type in "CD" on the search bar of MSP (Microsoft Publisher).
Step 3: Select a CD cover template.
Step 4: Select a circular shape and put it onto the the border of the CD cover.
Step 5: Then select the circular shape again and put it onto the inside part of the circle of the CD cover.
Step 6: Choose an image.
Step 7: Right click the image.
Step 8 : Click on save image as.
Step 9: Go to MSP and select the picture by pressing the small image icon you will see on the bar.
Step 10: Then when you have selected the photo click upload.
Step 11: Place the photo in the CD cover area.
Step 11: Add in any more pictures you want.
Step 12: Fit the pictures within the CD cover area.
Step 13: If the borders of your CD cover are covered with the pictures, click on the borders and fix them back.
Step 14: If the middle of your CD cover is filled with an image, select a circular shape and place it in the middle. Shade the circular shape white.
Step 15: Save your CD cover by clicking file then save as. Select an area to save your CD cover and click on the button "Save".
Step 16: Your CD cover is now complete. Enjoy!

MY REFLECTION:

Last week, during Digital Design Class, I learnt some new skills like learning how to snip from the snipping tool and also how to upload images on blogs. I also learnt how to use Microsoft Publisher much more better than before.
