Digimemo – any use?

We have a work experience group at the CLC this week creating mulitmedia games to introduce Primary school pupils to the CLC. One of the students is good at art and wanted his hand drawn work to be included so I introduced him to the digimemo. Wow, he went away drew the chartacters who were going to act as quiz masters for his game and then came back to see how the digimemo had coped. The artwork was then cut up, taken into photoshop elements and coloured and placed on the background for his quiz slides. I have attached the examples for you to view. This took very little time, did not involve scanning which can be very temperamental and could now be done entirely by the student as he has now been shown what to do. I am going to get him to comment on the work tomorrow so I will let him have the final word…..

Hello there!

I am an apprentice (Work Experience student) at the HCLC, and I may be the first student to use the technology, Digi-Memo. I have recently used this equipment to transfer a ink drawing I have done into the digit world of a software program. How was it done? Easy!

I draw the pictures on an equipment in the form of a sketch book, which is then connected to the computer to be coloured and used. I believe it is definitely easier and faster than drawing in the computer.

Use it.

You might be surprised.
