Project Scenario:

You’re back… Maybe you stayed creative, maybe you didn’t. Get back into the groove by creating a totally new image- it can be whatever you want that is school appropriate, of course. Show off and earn bragging rights. Learn at least 2 new things through tutorials and create a new image.

If you’re having a hard time coming up with an idea- redo a project from last year, but do it completely differently. Add a new twist. Throw in those 2 new tricks you’re going to pick up in tutorials.

Go ahead, make me jealous of your mad skillz. :-\

Project Objective:

Show off with an amazing image.

Specifications:

• • Learn 2 new tricks in tutorials

  • Use Photoshop or illustrator. This is a design project.

  • The photoshop images must remain in layers

  • You must save the files by uploading them into your Google Documents

  • You must name the finished file “lastnameShowOff.” If you do more than one, add letters to the filename (i.e. “lastname2_1a” “lastname2_1b”)

• Record what you’ve learned as a layer in the Ps or Illustrator document. Just turn off the layer before submitting as a jpeg via email.

  • The instructor will be checking on your original creation uploaded to Google Docs.

Concepts Learned:

• • Program Workspace

  • Layers

  • Problem Solving Process

  • Saving work and Class rules for saving

Materials/Equipment:

• • Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator

  • Internet (for tutorials)

Resources/References:

• • Adobe Video Workshop is a great place to get introductory tips on Adobe products!

• Google Search for photoshop tutorials

Guidelines:

• • TUTORIALS ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!! If you’re on one that is written poorly, move on. Don’t spend too much time on a tutorial that has bad directions. The next one may be much better!

  • Be aware of your limits. Don’t be afraid of quitting a tutorial that’s too hard… (but never give up too fast, either!)

  • You’re pretty free on this one. Make sure you come up with something original. Challenge yourself. I don’t want to see a tutorial.

Evaluation: 100 points

Did you come up with a new idea or a fresh spin on an old one? Are they properly named? Are they saved in your Google Docs?

Email the jpeg file to flhstechlab@gmail.com by Wednesday, September 20, 2017. Print the art on the color printer and be sure to add it to your Sway.com final exam.

Enrichment:

• • Create another image of your choosing

  • Ask a teacher if they have any design requests. Start learning how to work with a “client.” It’s a whole different ballgame.
