End of Tuesday 2/25-Thursday 2/27

Students will be learning a few new tools in Photoshop that they will be applying to their next project.

Students will learn about:

• Filters
• How to manipulate the filters
• How to change and images' colors or change into a black and white photo
• How to use the pen tool
• How to type along a specific line using the pen tool
• How to manipulate text to make it into shapes.

Students will prove to me that they know how to do this by completing the check list I will give them in class.  When the check list is complete they may begin working on their next project: Tour/Band Poster Designs.

Thursday 2/12 & Wednesday 2/19

Thursday 2/13- Tuesday 2/25 students will continue on with their logo designs.

 

Logos will be due on Tuesday 2/25

Each student will need to complete the worksheet given to them last class and complete 3 thumbnail sketches of what their design will/could look like. (Worksheet can be found on Cole under Files/Links)

1. Once the worksheet is complete along with the sketches, students must show me their designs to have them OK'ed.  
2. When the designs are ready to go, student need to start designing in Photoshop.  
3. Students may use pictures they find on the Internet, but they should be used to ENHANCE the design, the pictures must not BE the design.        

BE CREATIVE! 
This logo needs to be more than just words and a picture off the internet....design, design, design!

Keep in mind the requirements for this project. 

Students will have a minimum of 2 class periods to finish this project.  If a third day is needed, we will extend the deadline. 

Designs must be check on Thursday 2/13

If you have a hand drawn design you want SCANNED into your computer, that also must be complete by the end of Thursday class. 

 

 

Tuesday 2/11

Today, as a class, we created a small radio station logo just to review a few tools and tricks to creating a logo.  At the end of class, students began brainstorming what they want to create for their logo design.  We didn't get very far in the process, so next class students will begin designing in their folders and then beginning their logo designs in photoshop.

The powerpoint I showed the class about logos and color theory is located on Cole under Files/Links.

Wednesday 2/5 & Friday 2/7

Both of these days were all class tutorial days.  As a class we went through all the tools in the tool box and then began applying these tools to the beginning of a logo design.  Fridays class was dedicated to the start of this logo design by learning how to blend two backgrounds together as well as how to make your Text look more professional and interesting. 

Next class we will design a small logo design for a radio station, partially together and then finishing by themselves.  After that, students will begin brainstorming a company that want to design a logo for.

Monday 2/3

Hi Students-  I apologize that I am not there today.  There was an emergency this morning and I couldn't make it to school.

Today, I am going to have you all do a photoshop tutorial that is online.  When you are finished, drop it into the DropBox on Cole.  Do your best, if you have questions, remember your problem solving skills: ask a neighbor or ask google! (link below)

If you are done early, play around with photoshop, if you haven't finished your Elements and Principles powerpoint, now would be a good time to finish or find something PRODUCTIVE to do!
