Some of the Colleges old Booklets

Here are some of the front covers and a page inside the booklet to compare them all and see how they have changed.


This booklet for Penwith College was for 1999/2000. I think this design is really simple and just really boring, but the colours are bold.













This is one of the pages inside the booklet once again very simple and there some pictures but there off clip art not actually students in the college.











This booklet was for 2002/2003 i think the cover is really boring and there's just no point in the cover, it hasn't got anything to do with Penwith College.












This is inside the 2002/2003 booklet this time it has got pictures of the college and the students inside.













This is the booklet for 2004, its really different and it stands out but i still think its boring especially if they are trying to attract young people to the college not many young people are going to find this interesting.








This is inside the 2004 booklet, it is the most interesting booklet when it comes to inside the actual thing as its colourful and there are pictures.









This is the 2010 booklet, i think this is a good cover as its bold and the font is really good also there are students on the front cover which it involves them into it as we are part of the college.












This is inside of the booklet the design is really modern and funky and i think it appeals to young people.

Polarizing In Photography

Suitable filters for weather photography

Landscape photographers use many types of filters, some being very expensive. Luckily, with weather photography you don't need many kinds of filters. Often, only a polarizing filter is sufficient. In fact, a polarizing filter is all I use for my photography, except for photographing the sun, with which I use a neutral density filter.

Filters such as warming filters or gradient filters are little useful for weather photography. Since you don't need to see detail in the foreground at all in weather photos, gradient filters are not required.

One other type of filter that may be useful is a UV filter, simply because it will protect the lens surface from being damaged. But keep in mind that any filter will add extra reflecting surfaces to the optical path through the lens and camera.

Polarizing filters

There are two types of polarizing filter: linear and circular. These filters work the same way in that they filter out light of a certain polarization. A circular polarizing filter is useful for SLR cameras that use a mirror when light metering. A circular polarizing filter consists of a linear filter and a circular polarizer after that, to make the light circularly polarized and therefore its intensity won't change after subsequent reflections. If in doubt which one to use, use a circular polarizing filter.


In this picture the sea has been polarzied you can see the difference as the picture on the left is dark but the on the right is a nice blue.

Budget and Health & Safety

Me,Jibbz,Sam and Joe were in a group and we had to come up a budget and the health safety if we were a makeup team for the next Avatar. We came up with quiet alot of ideas we decided that we would need:
  • contact lenses
  • blue body paint
  • makeup
  • facial creams
We said that we would want quiet a decent wage as we are doing alot of work over 10 years so we decided to have 4,000 a week between the 4 of us. For Health and Safety reasons if we were in a hot environment we would need water as the people would get dehydrated.
