The first step in creating my banner was to find a suitable theme about parenting. I first took a look at the sample images given to us and then had a look at the banners created by my colleagues to get an overall picture. After giving it some thought, I finally decided to go on a theme about children, which recognizes each one as special. My title for the banner is “Every Child is a Gift”. For the background a scenic image with a blue sky background was chosen, particularly because I wanted to have the title written in white, so it would resemble the clouds. The two images selected were that of a girl investigating a pollen and a father with 3 small kids walking across the road. The picture of the girl shows the curiosity of a child and how every child should be allowed to discover their own way in life.

In order to create the icon, open the image and resize it to a 100*100 pixels. Then remove the background using the eraser tool. Now we need to have only 3 colors. To do this go to the Image option at the top of the page, select mode and click indexed color. You can select the shades of 3 colors that you like, and then ok. It will ask you to merge layers and click ok on that.

The audio needs to contain a foreground and background music. For the background music I had a soothing theme in mind. So I selected the ‘Memories’ track from the website bensound.com. For the foreground music I used my voice recording. The theme selected was ‘Christmas’. I used my phone to record it.

The first step required is to get the Windows Movie Maker software(http://www.windows-movie-maker.org/ ) which is free of cost and could be downloaded from the above link. If you are using Mac software, then you could download the iMovie software(https://support.apple.com/downloads/imovie ). Both of them work in a similar way. Since my video was about the past and the present times of the University of Missouri, I have selected 2 video’s with the following links: University of Missouri(Present)- (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I65g0K2_Bo) University of Missouri(1939)- (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQUdwTyexV4) I have used a combination of these two videos for my project. The audio track that I selected is Indian Summer by Jai Wolf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVrCZOiDlDo ). I have edited some parts of this track using Audacity software.
