This year's competition is a 3d design for a package. Get the details at http://www.graphiccommcentral.org
All of you taking pictures for the yearbook, please download this workbook that we will be using to learn how to control the camera and get compelling images for our book.
Here is the Layout Guide for this year's yearbook:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqYOyDKfHZd1dEx4aVI3OGZWa3dJNjZmeEZxbm5XM2c&usp=sharing All students should be indicating what they wish to work on for this year's book. If you prefer to work on photography and photo-editing please mark that next to your name. Every student will be doing some page layout. In order to obtain a free yearbook from the publisher, students will need to have five page designs in the finished book. We are looking for high quality photos, editing and design. To do this experiment you need to know how to make several setting changes on the Canon camera.
Fixing Color Cast Methods:
Here are some good photo compositions that are having White Balance/Color cast issues. Today you will be taking our midterm exam. The midterm is a hands-on series of four tasks. You will have one class period to complete the tasks. Make sure you post each finished graphic to your 2014 Midterm page that you have created on your journal.
You can access the exam here. This week we will be continuing to work on photography skills and working on the following projects:
After the holiday break and a weather-interrupted first week of 2014, it is time for us to get back to work. A number of you have not posted the last two assignments that were due the week before we went on break. You were reminded to post these numerous times that week. At this point a number of you are in danger of failing the 2nd quarter. Makeup work will only be able to earn a grade of D. Meeting deadlines is a critically important skill to master. Most of you express some interest in furthering your education and bad habits are tough to break at the college level. You need to refocus yourselves to doing the work in 2014. We need to start working on photography skills and doing preparation work for this year's yearbook. Below is our schedule for this week:
This week we will continue working on learning InDesign's features for bringing text, photographs and artwork together to make creative pages. Our main project for this week is an art show poster for a gallery or museum event.
You will need:
Today is our local Advertising Design SkillsUSA Competition. You will have 3 hours to complete the logo you are being asked to design. Please email a finished jpg logo according to the directions in the design brief.
Download the design brief. Good luck and do your best! This week we are going to begin working in Adobe InDesign CS6. Our projects for this application include the following:
Magazine Cover - Using the green screen, take a magazine cover photo of yourself or a classmate. We'll be using Photoshop to change the background. Download these mastheads to use for your title. Create the cover by placing teaser text, other images and a background color. Art Exhibit Poster - Choose a famous artist (daVinci, Michaelangelo, or Caravaggio would work well.) The poster will be tabloid size and advertise a spring exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You will need a dozen sample work images for your artist. A research source you could use is the Google Art Project. Photo Package - we will use this template to create photo packages for our class portraits. The skills we'll be trying to develop this week include:
