Hello everyone. Today we will start the hardest project in the class. Here's the thing though... this project really isn't tough, it just requires you to pay very close attention to to the details. Honestly, I've had students start and complete this project in just one class period. However, if you don't pay close attention to the little things, it will not work for you and will frustrate the heck out of you so please, pay close attention to the video and handout!
Hopefully you have chosen your 6 photos for the strip and one different photo for the background. If you did, the next step is to choose which six will be in the strip. These photos will all need to be the same orientation (all landscape or all portrait) and the same aspect ratio for this to look right. If the photos you have chosen are not the same... no worries! Use the crop tool from yesterday to crop them all the same way. If it were me, I would crop each of them to be 3:4 or 2:3 depending on what they are currently set at. This is all explained in the first video on the link below. Once they are all the same you can build the strip using Bridge. This is explained on the handout and on the videos linked there too. Just take your time, focus on the details and you'll be fine!

1. Cropping the Strip Photos to the same Aspect Ratio (first video)

Periods 4 & 5
Good afternoon all. Hope your having a great day. Yesterday we started the the personifying a word project. Today I have two new steps for you. In fact if you complete these two, the project is done already. I don't want you to rush though. I'd rather you take your time and do a nice job than rush and do a half butt job on it! Today I would like you to develop your thumbnails into a rough. The goal with the rough is to lock down the idea so that it's easier to make in Illustrator. With the rough done, feel free to hop onto Illustrator and create the real thing. That's really it for today. Good luck and have fun with it!
