Term 3 - Storage Devices
Statement of Inquiry:
Data storage has evolved through technological advances in the medium of storage devices
Introduction:
There are many types of storage devices. Storage devices are a very essential part of the computer. We use storage devices in our every day lives. Without storage devices we would not be able to save files on our desktop computer. Information can be stored in a device. A storage device can hold information, process information or both.
Global Context:
Information Literacy:
My research is a reliable source as my target audience are Year 7's. The English used in booklet is simple and there are more visuals to attract the Year 7's. I did not use any "hard'' English and if I had to I would put it in bold and write the definition somewhere else on the page. I put my information in bullet points to make my information easier for the year 7's to read. I also put many visuals on the front cover and big text to attract the student as younger children like more visuals and don't really like to read a lot.
Communication:
The booklet is presented very easy.There are many visuals and the same font size in every inner page. Each inner page has simple bullet points. I used different types of font styles for my booklet such as Broadway BT, Juice ITC and Calibri.

Reflection:
I picked design two over design one because design 2 has a
lot more detail and effort in it. Design 2 has a better attraction as I used a
3D object and stuck it on my cover page. For design 2, the storage devices I used
were a DVD and a Blu-Ray Player. I picked the Blu-ray Player because it seemed
interesting and I wanted to know more about what it does. The DVD was a choice
however it isn’t a very “different” storage device to what others would pick as
it’s a popular storage device.
