Good morning class. Hope things are good today. We've focused a lot on building photos and editing them. What we haven't talked about is how to the camera makes all the magic happen. I have a video that I made for you to watch today. It is in 2 parts and the second is here. Now I have to warn you that it's a bit long and toward the end it gets a little heavy when we start to mix it all three components together, but this is just a starting point. We will dive deeper into these throughout the week as we try to wrap your head around the concept exposure and the three legs of it's tripod. Once you've watched the video, I would like you to go to Schoology and find the Exposure Basics Video assignment. There I would like you to tell me what each of the three components of exposure are and how each effect your shot. Pretty easy way to earn 5 points! Have a great day everyone!

Period 5
Good morning everyone. Hope all is well. Today we are going to move on from type. I hope you feel like you know a lot more about type than you did at the start of the class. We aren't going to just forget about all of that info, as it's pertinent to any time we use type! However we are going to get into some new territory today. We are going talk about layout and design and the principles behind what makes a good design. Often when we look at an ad, poster, or album cover we know if something looks good. We know that it's well designed, or is a little jenky looking, but aside from just liking the band or the colors, you might not know what it is that really makes it look good. There are underlying rules that will help to make a design more appealing. That's what we are going to learn about today. These concepts aren't really complex, certainly nothing like trig or calculus concepts, but they are very helpful to design. Please watch this video. It's nothing fancy, but it discusses 6 principles behind good design. When your done, simply go onto Schoology and look for the POD Video assignment. In it, I would simply like you to tell me which of the 6 principles is most interesting to you and why. That's all for today, make it another great one!
