EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it...

The tabloid is in progress. I will keep you posted on it. Any news stories or information you want to include (Fake Horoscopes, anyone?) should be uploaded to the class Google account.

Katy and Sophia are working on the presentation for January 10. Make sure they have your photo choices. Also make sure you have written what you or another student will say about your essay.
Finally, remember to print your ten favorite images. I will be posting them in the hallways with a paragraph that you write about your experience.

In the meantime, we are moving on to Illustrator. You have already seen how fun it is! I will continue to add tools/tips during class. You are working on creating a publicity poster for the upcoming school concert.

Happy Thanksgiving - Please know how grateful I am to have such an incredibly engaged, kind, respectful group of students.

Week of 11/18

I hope we were able to get everything uploaded to the Google Drive account. From there, you can create the presentation you will give to the Middle School on January 10. In class on Monday we will discuss how to make sure everyone is represented, and assigned responsibilities. By the end of class on Tuesday, your presentation should be nearly complete.  On Wednesday, you will begin learning about Illustrator via tutorials. I will tell you about your first assignment on Friday. In the meantime, simply create an image of your choosing using the tools you learn about in the tutorial. I will put links to the videos up AFTER you see them in class.

I will be working on the layout of the tabloid on my home computer. We do not have the software needed to create it here at school. The software is called InDesign, and is another Adobe product.
