Good morning everyone. Happy Friday! As you read this I'm on my way back to you all, so I will be back in PA Saturday and in school Monday. Today for class though you have the entire day to work on your Screen Print or Type Search. I will show you all how to print on Monday so if you get everything done and are ready you could be printing early in the week next week. Obviously you can use the time to work on the Type Search as well, but the Screen Print should be the top priority as it will be do first. There is a Things You Should Know About Type handout that the sub should have for you, just ask and she can give it to you. This acts as a quick reference for when you do the search or a study guide to prepare for the quiz that will be coming eventually. That's all that I have for you today. Hope you have a great day and I'll see you on Monday!

Happy Friday, hope it's been a good one so far for each of you. Today I have a short lesson for you to watch on White Balance. The first link below will take you to the video of the lesson. This ties directly into next week's photo assignment, which is to use white balance to intentionally create a color cast or color filter to exaggerate a feel. The second link below describes the assignment. You will only need to take 3 photos this week, but each are worth 10 points. I would like you to take time to think about how you can build a photo to use a cold color cast on a sad photo, a warm color cast on a happy photo, etc. We can talk more about it next week when I'm back too. The rest of the time in class today is yours to work on your folded card, or the lens flare background. Hope you have a great day and I'll see you on Monday!

Good morning everyone, hope you're having a great day. Today I would like you to take a break from the Screen Print project. I want to introduce a new unit, type. Sure, it's not the most fun thing to talk about... it's just letters, but there is some important stuff that you probably don't know about. The substitute should have an orange packet to give you. While it is pretty think, most of it is just examples, so don't panic. The first video below is for the video lesson on type, watch it and take notes in the packet. The second link explains the first assignment for the unit which is also describe on the back of the packet. Please note that the packet says one thing for the number of text examples that you need while the site says another. You actually only need 1 text and 9 novelty. It's tough to find text so I simplified it for you. That's it for today, hope you have a great day!

Period 3

Hello there everyone. Yesterday I had a new lesson for you, Principles of Design. Today I would like you to use those concepts to critique an add that you find. Ideally, find an ad in a magazine that you think is effective. Effective because you are drawn to it, not because you find the man or woman in the ad sexy! If you would rather, you can find one from the web but some small web ads will give you little to talk about. Take a look at the video in the link below. Using your notes and my example video I would like you to do your own critique. You can take a picture of the ad or scan it with the scanner and computers along the wall where the storage room is. Then you can make a recording like I did on the link below. I have more info on this in the links at the side to explain scanning, cropping and even straightening the ad if you scan or shoot it and it's crooked. I would still make screen printing the priority as it's due tomorrow but you do have this new critique to do too. As always, let me know if you have any questions!

Good afternoon photographers. Hope all is well for you today. I have a simple day for you today. I have a link below for a lesson on shooting modes. Watch the video and it'll explain what all of those icons on the mode dial mean. Once your done with the video you can continue to work on your folded card. Hopefully you have taken the two photos that you will need to make the design in Photoshop because without them you can't make the front! It's a little more challenging than the layout but if you follow the video it shouldn't be too bad. Hope you have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Happy Hump Day! Hope all is well in PA. I don't even want to say much about Florida for fear that it will sound like I'm rubbing it! All is well here though. So today, I would like you to keep working on your screen printing project. Below you will find a link for how to block out your screen. After you have exposed it, washed it out and patch pinholes, there are still areas that the ink can get through the screen other than where you want it to. Using the scrap paper beside the paper cutter and the two inch masking tape (which is in the gray shelving to the left of the outside door) you will need to block out those other areas of your screen. The first link will explain how to do it. The second video explains how to cut paper to print on for your screen print. It's nothing crazy, but it will explain what you need to do. Not a problem if you don't get both done, but I thought I'd introduce both today just in case you finish one and have nothing else to do. Keep in mind that you don't have to wait until your screen is blocked out to cut paper to print on. You can do this at any time! Hope you all have a great day!

What are we learning today?

2. Cutting Paper to Print On

Happy Wednesday everyone. Today I have a new assignment that I would like you to do. This link will take you to a sheet with a list of names on it. Please pick one, but one that no one else has chosen. The I would like you to explain the word visually like the examples here. Just like usual, start by brainstorming four thumbnails and then a rough of the one that you like best before you create it in Illustrator. So that's a new project for you to work on today. I also have a blue notes packet that I would like you to complete as you watch the video on the Principles of Design. This will ultimately lead to a new assignment later, but today just watch the video and take notes on it. You'll have to ask the sub for the packet. That's all that I have for you today, hope you have a fantastic day!

Hello there photographers, hope your hump day is going well. I know that I gave you a lot of little assignments yesterday. They shouldn't be too tough to do though. I also assigned the Lens Flare Background project too. There is no due date for this one yet. It is part of the calendar project so you will have plenty of time to complete it. I thought I'd introduce it now though so that you can get started on it when you have time. Today I have the start of the folded card project for you to work on though. The second link below will walk you through setting up the document in InDesign. This is a new software, and one that we will spend a lot of time using in the calendar project so it's a good introduction for you. Use InDesign and the video to setup the document. Then tomorrow you can use the photos that I asked you to take to build the card cover in Photoshop. If you have any questions, let me know. Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! Today in class I would like you to continue to work on your screen printing project. I showed you how to expose and wash out a screen last week. I strongly encourage you to watch the videos on each as a refresher before you try doing it on your own. I know that I wouldn't necessarily remember everything from last week, let along the little details! Today I have linked a new step just below; how to patch pinholes. When you wash out a screen there will inevitably some tiny little holes in the emulsion. The first link below will show you how to repair these areas of the screen. That's all I have for you for today. Let me know if you have any questions. I can't say that I'll get back to you immediately but I will respond to you before class tomorrow. Have a great day!

Hello there everyone. Hope you had a nice, long holiday weekend. Today I have a new assignment for you. The link below will take you to a page on the site where you will find the starting file. Much like the Illustrator Dog project, start by downloading the file from the page and open it in Illustrator. On that file, I would like you to use Illustrator to create your own version of the type to match mine. There is a video on the page that will explain how to do everything. I strongly recommend watching a little, pausing it, and then doing what I just showed you in the video. Then watch a bit more, pause it and do a little more. It should be pretty simple if you use the video. That's all I have for you for today. Let me know if you have any questions. I can't say that I'll get back to you immediately but I will respond to you before class tomorrow. Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Hope you had a great, long weekend and are ready for a week without having to go to Meet's with me! As I said last week, no Meet's this week, but I will be posting here on the blog each day. For today I have quite a few little exposure adjustments linked below. I have two spot exposure touch ups and two global exposure touch ups for you. What's the difference? Global changes the entire photo where spot fixes just a small area within the photo. I also linked to the Lens Blur assignment from last week. It's due today so make that your top priority. Once that's done, then you can do the four small exposure adjustments. These are not due until tomorrow. Finally, there is a new project that you can start next, this is the Lens Flare Background. Here you'll just use Photoshop as a drawing tool to make a unique background. This will take a little more time to do that the others. Take a look at the final link and you'll see some examples and the directions too. That's it for today. Let me know if you have any questions. I can't say that I'll get back to you immediately but I will respond to you before class tomorrow. Have a great day!
