Multimedia


First thing for this six weeks
Make your blog safe. As I've been viewing over your blogs, some of them have some things to address. We'll need to go over some internet safety guidelines. So, the first thing is remove any personal information that may not be safe to include your blog. If you had your poster uploaded, I've taken a screenshot of it, and you may now remove it from your blog. In addition, make sure you don't have your full name anywhere, your picture, where you live, the name of your school, etc.

This is for a grade!

New Poster
We had a lot of posters for Grease, which was great. However, we had very few for Choir's Classical Concert. They'd like a couple more designs, so for your first project this six weeks- spend a class period or two designing a poster for choir (if you already did, design a second).

I have a physical example of a poster form a couple years ago. There are also some interesting designs you can find online. examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Illustrator
Continue learning Illustrator. Most people will need to go through quite a few learner videos and tutorials to get the hang of it.

Why Illustrator? Vector vs. Bitmap graphics

At the end of class, reflect on what you learned/tried in illustrator today. Even if it was abysmal, let me know. So, open up Adobe Illustrator and give it a try!

Lynda.com
Some videos on Lynda.com are free, and some require membership. You can still learn a lot from the free videos alone. Some tutorial sets have more available to non-members than others.

Don't like videos?

These links may also come in handy in the future when your trying to get something to work that just isn't. Don't forget they're here.
