Good morning everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. Today in Photography we are moving on into new territory again. Last Friday I showed you the last two steps in the antiqued photo project. If you didn't finish it, please work on this project first! That should be your first priority in the class. Once that's done we'll talk about File Formats and Aspect Ratio. You'll find a link to the video lesson below. Please watch it; it ties directly into our next project. What we will be making next is a film strip collage. You can see some examples on the board along the right side of the classroom as well as the example at the left. Before we dive into this project, I would like you to learn to change aspect ratio with cropping. Open one of your photos, and crop it to a 3:1 aspect ratio. Then you can simply upload the before and after versions to Schoology in the cropping assignment. Then the final thing for today is to choose photos of yours to use in the Film Strip Collage. You will need 6 photos for in the strip and one for the background. Please take some time today to choose some photos, and get them to your computer. Tomorrow we will begin construction of the collage. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Periods 4 & 5
Good afternoon everyone. Hope you've had a great weekend. Last week we continued to roll along on our quest of learning about type. I know it's not the most fun thing ever, but this will be helpful to you as we move into our next unit. Anyway, there is one last stop on before leaving the type unit. That is to pick a word and personify it. On the page linked below you will find a list of words. Please choose one and put your name next to it on the Google Doc. Then I would like you to brainstorm ways that you can show the words meaning by tweaking the type attributes or maybe using a little bit of a graphic. Take a look at my brainstorming page. To start off, I want you to rainstorm a list of ideas that you could use to personify your word. After you've
