Good morning everyone! Let me offer my most sincere apology that I am not with you today. I really hate to miss class, but I have been having some residual effects from Covid and have finally broken down and made a doctors appointment for it. I really don't feel well and need to get a little help. Enough about me, let's talk about class. Yesterday I introduced the concept of the calendar project, a big, point heavy project. Today I would like you to start to plan your project out. The calendar page has two videos that you can use for this. The page is linked just below. Please watch the first video. In it I review the project and provide additional examples, but more importantly there are directions for making thumbnails for your calendar in the latter half of the video. After watching the video, please sketch out a set of 4 thumbnails. After making four thumbnails, grab a sheet of 11" x 17" paper from beside the printer in the back of the room. With that paper and maybe a ruler (which you can find on the white tray on the counter by my desk) take a look at the second video on the page. It will describe drawing the rough. Please create your rough in the style that you would like. After the break we will create the calendar using this rough, so it is crucial that you make one! Regardless of where you are in the class, I would like you to work on planning for the calendar today. I can help you with it when I return, but with only 11 days left, give it your best effort today! Hope all goes well and that you have a fantastic day!

What are we learning today?
1. Discuss Making Thumbnails (first video)

Good morning everyone! Let me offer my most sincere apology that I am not with you today. I really hate to miss class, but I have been having some residual effects from Covid and have finally broken down and made a doctors appointment for it. I really don't feel well and need to get a little help. But more importantly, what should you do today? Well, I would like you to continue working on your CD project. I have a link below for putting the elements of your project together in InDesign. If all of your assets (photos, graphics, etc.) have been created, add everything to the InDesign file that you created. Once you get them into the document you'll need to position and possibly resize them. The video will help you to make sense of how to do this. If you complete the CD project, fantastic! Take a look at the link on Unique Selling point. This will help you as you begin planning your advertisement. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Good morning everyone. It appears that Google services are down this morning. We can't even log in and use Schoology as they are linked, so this is our only method of communication for today. Sorry for the issues that it may cause. For today I have some exposure adjustments for you to do. Two of them are global (meaning to change the entire photo) and two of the are just for spots. Please choose some of your photos for this project and as always, upload the before and after to Schoology whenever it is back up. That's all that I have that is new. You can use the remaining time to continue on with your Lens Flare projects or any other back work. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone. Hope you are enjoying staying in your PJ's this morning. Obviously we will not be having a Meet today, but I do have some things planned for you today. Please us this time to make a proof sheet for this week's photos... Depth of Field. It won't take long but I also have a video for you to watch about White Balance. Then the rest of the time you can use to work on back work, because a lot of you have plenty of it to do, or finish up the lens flare project. That's all I have for you work wise today. Please use the time that you have becasue time is ticking and we still have lots more new work to start!
Next weeks photo assignment is Happy Holidays. Christmas, Hanuka, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Winter Solstice, or just holiday decorations, whatever your December thing, take photos of/for it. We are going to use these photos to make a Christmas or Holiday card. One photo will go in the background of the card and the other will be inside the text of the card. I have some examples of the card here. Notice that some are not Christmas. It would be weird to have you unpack Christmas decorations and make a Christmas card in May, so some of the examples are from other holidays. Either way, take a look at the examples. They may help you to choose what to shoot! Hope you all have a great day and fantastic weekend!

Good afternoon everyone. Hope all is well at your house today and that you are enjoying being a little more comfortable at home for school. I've been doing some grading lately and have noticed that there are a good amout of missing assignments out there right now. We have 19 days left and our two largest projects are yet to be started so if you haven't completed older assignments, you will have to work on these while still moving forward with new, upcoming projects. I'm worried for you if you have a lot to do to catch up! So I'm making today any easy day in hopes that you will use the remaining time to catch up. So what do I want you to do? Well after choosing your advertisement and saving it, I had asked you to start analyzing it. I will be asking you to make a screen recording of you analyzing how it uses each POD. This is similar to the one that I had you watch yesterday in class. Here it is again. Today I would like you to experiment with recording a screen cast. I use Screencast-o-matic, but there are lots of other free ones out there. If you have one that you are already familiar with and would like to use, feel free. So today I want you to find, use and experiment with Screencast-o-matic. Don't forget to turn in your time sheet too! Have a great day and a fantastic weekend!

Period 1
Good morning everyone. Hope all is well with each of you! After a work day yesterday, today we are going to move on to a new assignment and lesson. I spent a decent amount of time grading yesterday and have graded up to the Film Strip Collage. I have noticed that there are a few of you that haven't made much progress lately. I know that it sucks not having me there to help you but I'm here to answer questions. You just have to email me! We are going to continue to work on new assignments, even after I return Monday, so try to keep moving forward as much as you can!  Below you will find a link to a lesson on Exposure Basics. This gets to the very heart of photography. I know it's a little heavy at times, especially when I get into balancing aperture and shutter. This is important, but I won't ask you to take any manual photos and use this specifically. After watching the video, you can get started on the next project, the lens flare background. Here we are doing something totally new... using Photoshop as a drawing tool. This isn't an uncommon thing. In fact, many people use Photoshop for art creation. Up until now though we have only used it for editing photos. So here we will draw a cool looking background like the one on the left. It's not particularly difficult, but you'll want to follow the link below to make it. Don't forget that tomorrow your depth of field photos are due! Have a great day everyone!

Periods 4 & 5
Good afternoon everyone. Today we are moving on into our Principles of Design unit. We'll start today by learning about what the Principles of Design are. If you use them, you're more likely to create a design that is effective and attractive. None of the principles are real complex or difficult to grasp, but they are important none the less. After you learn about these principles, I'd like you to take a look at the critiquing link below. On that page you'll find a video critique that I did on a cookie advertisement. Watch the video and see how I felt they did with the ad. Then I would like you to find your own ad. You're welcome to use newspapers, magazines or even Google. If you opt for the Google route, I would search for print ads. These advertisements will have more detail and give you more to talk about than a small banner or side bar ad from a website. The subject of the ad makes no difference as long as it's school appropriate and an effective ad. Once you have done this you're done for the day. Have a great day ladies and gentlemen!

Period 1
Good morning photographers. We've been pretty busy lately and had a lot to do lately. Seeing as how today is a short period for the early dismissal and that I've introduced so much new work lately, today is simply a work day. I'm hoping that by giving you a day to catch up, you can catch up on any back work or finish the film strip project before we move on into a new area again tomorrow. Don't forget that you depth of field sandwiching photos are due Friday so if you haven't done anything with this, you may want to get moving on it! I'm hoping to spend a good bit of time grading tomorrow too. If you have been turning work in but haven't seen any changes in your grade, thanks for your patience! Have a great day everyone!
