On the final day of the project the pupils drew shapes that represented Inspiration Africa! to them.

These were then scanned into the computer, resized and made into bitmaps ready to be placed on the virtual banner in the COGPROG programme. This software, devised by Chris Thompson for Cloth of Gold, has been specifically developed to emulate the screen printing processes used in the classroom on the computer and enables pupils to design their banner virtually.

The pupils took it in turns to use the programme to click and drag their bitmap onto the virtual banner experimenting with where they wanted their image positioned and what colour it was to be printed. Once the choice had been made the banner is saved and the next image is added.
