Good afternoon camera geeksPeriod 2
Good morning everyone. Today in class you should be working on cleaning up or completing the screen print. Today that project starts at an 85% if turned in so finish it up! Those of you who are done, work on the vinyl jacket thumbnails, rough, or even start to compose the graphics in Illustrator on a new document. Many of you have yet to start the project so you should have plenty to do today while I'm out! Have a fantastic day!


Period 3
Good morning! Hope your day is going well. I'm not there to ruin it with a long lesson today! Yesterday I showed you a few ways to cleanup your vector. As you work on your vector today, keep those in mind and use them if you spot something that could be better than it is. Your job for today is simple... make a solid, smooth vector! Remember that on Thursday we will have a quiz so if you get tired of vectoring, you can always use the kahoot on Schoology to study for a bit to prepare. Hope you have a fantastic day today!


Period 4
Hello gamers, hope your having a great day. Today while I'm out you should be working on your Breakout clone. Remember that it is due Wednesday by 11:59 so if you have a lot to do, get on it! I know some of you are close to completing it. If that's the case, there are two things that you should do.... make a splash screen with your logo on it and set it up to advance on it's own after a set amount of time elapses and second, you can make your game more intricate and different in an effective way to receive extra credit. Examples would be the bat getting shorter after a length of time, the ball speeding up when it hits certain sprites, etc. Other than that, just keep on grinding! Have a great day!


Period 5
​Good afternoon camera geeks! Today while I'm out today I you should use the period to finish that logo of yours. You need four thumbnails, then a colored rough. Once the rough is complete, take a photo of it and upload it to Drive. With a rough on your laptop, we will then set up an Illustrator document and vector it. Remember that you can use shapes and the pen tool for this! It's worth 100 points and due tomorrow so please take it seriously and make a great logo and vector! Havea  great day!
