Good morning all! Happy hump day! Today I would like you to start by watching my lesson on principles of design from the intro class. Once done, I have a kahoot that you can do for credit. If you score below an 85% you won't get credit or you'll have to take it again. I'm trusting you to do the right thing here and not cheat! The principles of design are important as they will be used heavily when grading your advertisement. Once you're done, continue to work on the notebook, screen print or planning for your advertisement. Remember that you should have a set of four thumbnails, a rough and then you can start to vector your elements for the comprehensive. That's all that I have for you for the day. Make it a great one!

Sorry, I forgot to add the link for the Kahoot!


Digital Photo Good morning camera geeks! Today we will stay on the exposure kick. I have a video for you to watch today on exposure compensation. No notes to take EXCEPT for the few words that are covered by photos. The sub should have a packet to give you. I'm not asking you to turn these in, but I am hoping that you do the right thing without me requiring you to turn them in. Then I have some exposure adjustments for you to do in Photoshop. I want you to find a photo that has a small area that is over exposed… perhaps the flash fired and washed it out. Use the burn tool to darken that area. On a separate photo, one where there is an area that is just too dark, use the Dodge tool to lighten it. These too are SPOT color corrections… not the entire photo. Then I would like you to use a photo in which the colors are drab and muted across the whole photo. Make a smart adjustment layer for hue and saturation. This will affect the image globally. Then finally find an image in which the exposure is just a little light or dark and make an adjustment layer for levels. There are videos for each of these and also red handouts as well. I know that there are four tasks and notes to watch/complete but they shouldn't be too tough.

Good afternoon ladies and gents. Hope you're day is going well. Today the sub should have a notes packet on Tile Based Games for you to complete and turn in for credit. Make sure you add your name to the packet so I can give you credit for it. After the lesson, continue to work on sprites for your own version of a Pacman. Should be an easy day with plenty of time for you to work. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Good morning everyone. Hope you had a fantastic three day weekend! Today I figure that you have plenty to do on your screen print and notebooks. I checked in with Wyatt and Isobel on Friday and they seemed to be pretty comfortable with the lamination process. Wyatt is almost done with his, so if your really nice he may be able to answer questions if you have them. Isobel, well she is a bit scary but she is great with things like this! When I return next Monday I will show you how to close up the binding and complete your notebook. If you need something else to do, pick your product for the ad, choose an approach for marketing and start drawing your thumbnails and rough. Hope you have a great day!

Good morning photographers, hope you had a great weekend! Today before you get started with anything, please ask the sub for the red Exposure Basics packet from one of the purple folders on my desk. Then I would like you to watch this video and complete the packet as if you would if I were there. Wanna get through it quicker? Watch it at 1.25 or 1.5 speed! As long as you get the information, it doesn't matter to me. Once your done, write your name on the packet and turn it in to the bin on my desk. I have the final video for the antiqued photo project for you to watch here. Once you've completed the project, save it as a PSD (since it has layers) and turn it in on Schoology. There is one other small task that I have for you for today. I would like you to use one of your photos that was shot at a dutch angle, or even just one that has something that is askew in it, and then straighten the object and crop the edges. It's all described here on the site. If you have any questions, just message or email me. I probably won't see your message until tonight but I will respond to it! Have a great day!

Good afternoon gamers. Today I want you to focus on your own pacman style game. Choose a theme, determine what objects will represent 5 ghost, one hero, food and a wall. Once you've determined this, start to draw your sprites. Of course, it you haven't competed Breakout, that's a good place to start for the day. If completed and turned in today it starts at a 90%, so the quicker you get it in, the better. That's all that I have for you for today. Take advantage of the time because tomorrow there will be more to do other than simply making your game. Have a great day!
