Multimedia Sept. 15

Today, you will spend the majority of your time working on your pages project. This project will be done in pieces, and then, in the end compiled into a larger document.

First, in your blog, post what country your project is based around and your initial thoughts about this. Next, read the following document regarding your project.

Pages General Premise Document

- Brochure Example
(these were both created in pages, using stock imagery)

Plan your itinerary and brochure(front and back) before progressing any further. Follow the walk through below to post your plan into your blog.

Got your sketches ready? Good, now open Photobooth. Hold your paper up so it fills the frame (no facetime! remember to protect yourself online) and take the picture. Drag it onto your desktop. It should look something like this.

It's backward and hard to read. But we can fix that! Follow the step-by-step instructions.

Right click the file on your desktop, hover over open with, then click Adobe Photoshop. Your desktop should now look something like this -->

Now that you're in Photoshop... Click Image in the overhead menu, hover over Image Rotation, and then click Flip Canvas Horizontal. Now the image should no longer be backward :)

But it's still a little hard to read :/

Next, click Image in the overhead menu gain, and click Auto Tone. That should take care of that :)

It should look similar to this now:

(but hopefully not so small)

Now, you just have to save it before you can upload it into your blog. Click on File in the overhead menu, and click on Save As... A window will pop up, don't just hit save willy-nilly. You need to change the file format from a Photoshop format into a JPEG Format. Another window will pop up, this just lets you choose the level of quality for the photo, just hit ok. Now, upload your sketch into your blog :)

Post up your photo for your other design as well.

Finished already?
Watch this video on outlines, and this one on the table of contents.

They are each only about 2 minutes. Watch them, they will help you.

If you didn't see the video last time, watch it too; it's also very short.

Introductory video on pages from last class.

Did you finish everything from last class period? If not, now would be a good time...

Everything else completed? Great! Now, open pages and start creating these 3 Pages documents.

Last 5 Minutes

At the end of class, reflect on what you've done today. Did you get a lot accomplished? Why or why not? What did you get accomplished? Any challenges or difficulties?
