Good morning and happy Friday camera geeks! Hope you've had a good week. Today I would like to introduce the last few steps of the Antiqued Photo project as well a the photo project for next week. I had a few questions about turning in the Antiquing project. I have held off on posting the assignment on Schoology because I didn't want you to turn it in until it was complete... which it can't be until you do today's steps! Once you make a wallpaper in Illustrator, add a glass effect to the inside of the frame, and put the wallpaper behind the framed photo, then you can turn it in! Just make sure that you have gone through all of the steps before you turn it in.
As for the photo assignment, it goes back to our Looking vs. Seeing lesson. I explained in that lesson that a good photo should have a foreground, background and subject. I often refer to it as sandwiching your subject in between the foreground and the background to create some depth in your photos. I want you to use this technique when you shoot 10 new photos for next Friday. I have posted a link to a video and some examples below. That is all for today. Hope you have a great weekend!

5. Review/What’s Next
Periods 4 & 5
Good afternoon guys, hope your having a good end to the week. Today I would like to introduce a new assignment. We have spent a good bit of time the last few weeks talking about type. We did the Typeface Search so that you could learn about the different categories of type, but more importantly, so you could see what is most often used. Notice how rarely you find those strong styles like text. It has such a unique feel that, much like chiller or Jokerman, they aren't used often professionally. I know it may not have been a fun task, but hopefully you were able to see what is often used. Once you have completed your search, made and printed a cover page, and even turned in the search, then you can and should get started on the learning to use Illustrator to format type. There is a link below to a file and a video. You will need to download the file and open it in Illustrator. Then simply make the text and modify it as the handout and video show you to do. It shouldn't take a long time for you to complete, but it ties in perfectly with learning about tracking, kerning, etc. That's it for today! Hope you have a great weekend!
