In order to complete this assignment you must create a Kami account using your school's Google email. Once that has been completed you can download the handouts in the link below, unload them to Kami to complete. (This is temporary until our laptops arrive)             

VOCABULARY:

• Elements of design: The building blocks of a design. Includes color, form, line, Texture, space, texture, typography, and value.

• Color: One of the building blocks of design. It can be used for the focal point, subject, background, or to fill other elements.

• Value: The range of lightness and darks of a hue. Value can be used in both black and white and color design. Value can create emphasis, a focal point, divide space, create a mood, and direct the viewer’s eye.

• Line: One of the building blocks of design. Can be thick, thin, solid, broken, curved, diagonal. Line can help divide a space, emphasize a focal point, add pattern and texture.

• Shape: One of the building blocks of design. Shape is defined by boundaries such as line and color. Shape can create pattern, interest, define space, control the viewer’s eye, emphasize the focal point, and organize information.

• Form: One of the building blocks of design. Include geometric and organic form, actual and implied form. Form is used in the physical design of objects as well as to enhance design in print media such as billboards, magazines, or digital designs.

• Space: The area in an object or distance around and between objects in a design. Space is used to create white space, breathing space, and emphasize the focal point. When divided well, space can create stronger designs.

• Texture: One of the building blocks of design. Texture can be tactile or visual. Texture can be used to create pattern, rhythm, contrast, and emphasize areas.

• Typography: The fonts and fonts styles used in a design. Font can convey information as well as add to the overall feeling of a design. Color, style, placement, and hierarchy can be used to help enhance typography in a design.

Principles of Design 

In order to complete this assignment you must create a Kami account using your school's Google email. Once that has been completed you can download the handouts in the link below, unload them to Kami to complete. (This is temporary until our laptops arrive)     

VOCABULARY:

• Principles of design: Rules that guide a successful design and strong composition through the use of balance, contrast, emphasis, hierarchy, movement, pattern, proportion, rhythm, repetition, unity, variety, and white space.

• Balance: Placing elements in a design taking their visual weight, and positive and negative space into account. Balance can be created through symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance.

• Contrast: Creating emphasis by the juxtaposition of different, often opposite, elements. Contrast can help make a design more dynamic and divide space. A design with low contrast can look harmonious but lack focus.

• Emphasis: Bringing focus to the most important information in a design.

• Hierarchy: The intentional arrangement of information in a design to highlight the most important information.

• Movement: the way the viewer’s eye moves around the composition of a design.

• Pattern: The regular repetition of elements to create a design.

• Proportion: The visual scale and weight of elements and how they relate to each other.

• Repetition: Duplicating elements in a design to bring focus to certain areas and unify the design.

• Rhythm: Elements that repeat in an organized way that creates movement and helps move the viewer’s eye around the design.

• Unity: When elements harmonize creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.

• Variety: Using a range of types and styles of elements to create visual interest in a design.

• White space: Negative or empty space between elements and content in a design.

Careers in the Industry 

Using the provided list choose 3 careers that peak your interest as possible career paths you would like more information on. Once you have selected your 3 careers, conduct your own research for the following information and create a Google Slide Presentation on your findings. AT LEAST 2 of your career options need to come from the list. You may choose a 3rd of your own liking not related to Media. 

Your slides must include an introduction slide, at least 3 body slides (1 for each career), and a conclusion slide (which career is your favorite and what is your plan to ensure you obtain that career?). Include images as needed for visual representation. 

Information required for each career:

• 2-3 complete sentence job description (use your own words, do not copy and paste)

• Job responsibilities

• Job qualifications (Education/credentials, soft skills, experience, technical skills)

• Starting pay rate and max pay rate (estimates will work, does not need to be exact)

• Cite your sources

Pop Art Effect 

Using your step by step notes create your own pop art design in Photoshop using on your portrait photos from a previous assignment. Add text saying "Created by: Your full name" somewhere on the design and submit for credit.
