Video Skills Test

Since the end of the World Cup, Fabio Capello has heard one thing over and over again, "Give the youngsters a go!"

Slowly but surely Capello has been including some of the up and coming talent that English football has to offer in his England Squads, but the recent friendly against France saw him really push the boat out!

He gave debuts to the likes of Andy Carroll of Newcastle and Jordan Henderson of Sunderland. There were also places for the youngsters Kieran Gibbs and Theo Walcott.

However, since the embarrassing defeat, Capello has come under incredible criticism from the media for his decision to start the prodigies!

I asked a keen footballer and fan about what he thought of Capello's squad and also the criticism he has come under.

Images Skills Test

The following is my submission for my Images Skills Test. The task was to take a picture of either the Lancashire County Council building, the Preston City Council building, The Flag Market, Preston North End football club or The University of Central Lancashire.

We then had to crop this image to 3 different sizes. 400x300, 200x500 and 100x100. Here are my results.

400x300 Crop



200x500 Crop



100x100 Thumbnail



Overall I think my crops are useful in identifying the main focus of the pictures, the UCLAN logo.
