Just checking out the blog headers.....

To put an image from your film or your poster on the top of your blog - go to design (top right) and click on edit in the header section. You can add your image there. First you will need to design your image and get it to the right size in PhotoShop. I did 980 pixels width by 200 length for this one.

Question 1a

Candidates will need to refer to their work for the Foundation Portfolio and Advanced Portfolio. Additionally, they may make reference to other media production work but this is strictly optional.

Now it's your turn to answer this question. You have 30 minutes. Starting - NOW.
