Step 2 - Identity List
Due, at the end of class Wednesday, December 6
Step A - List
Begin compiling a list of 40 words that describe you, your name story, your family, your character, your interests etc. Use your name. We want descriptive words. If you are an athlete for instance, describe the kind of athlete you are rather than list the sports you play.
Step B - Matching
From your list, choose Three (3) pairs of words. Match words that offer a funny or unique pairing. The more naturally the words go together, the less creative or more expected the result will be. For instance, "green" and "pants". These 2 words naturally go together, so there isnt an unexpected outcome from this pairing. While "cereal" and "mustache" could create some very interesting images.
Step C - Drawing
Now make a drawing of your interpretation of the two words together.
Make Five (5) drawings for each of the 3 pair of words as a minimum quantity.
Deliverables:
The more quality drawings/pairs you do, the better your chance of a higher grade.
Thats 15 drawings in all, plus the word list.

Typography Self Portraits
Due, Friday, March 17 at the end of class.
Medium: Adobe Photoshop Time: 1-2 Weeks Grade: 9-12 Art Principles: BALANCE, COMPOSITION, EMPHASIS, CONTRAST Objective: Create a portrait using only a variety of Letters and numbers and or symbols. Tool: Text tool Using the images we will shoot for your head shot as a guide, your assignment is to make a self-portrait using only typographic characters. Use the letters to illustrate your face, thinking about how your design reflects you. Think about your own identity and study your face and its characteristics. Examine the forms of typographic elements closely to determine what will represent you best. Process letters, numbers, and alphabetic symbols such as parentheses are allowed, as are combinations of different typefaces. Your design should be black and white. TIP: Do not to outline or fill in large areas. Attention to detail is important. Limit the amount of parethesis and letter "C"'s. |
|
1. Take your picture
Make it interesting
Asymetrical angles and Profiles
Choose File>Save from the menu bar.
Choose Desktop, and create a new folder called TypefaceProject
Name your photo"Me", then save your photo to this folder
2. Open your image in Photoshop
Click on the Photoshop Icon in the Dock (the blue PS)
Go to File > Open and locate the photo of yourself.
Click OK and the file will open.
3. Rename the original image and save:
Go to File > Save As and type in your first name, then click ok
Rationale: The reason you are doing this step is so that you work on a copy of the original and not the original itself.
4. Be sure the following palettes are open:
Go to Window from the menu bar. Show the following Palattes:
Layers Palette
Character Palette
History Palette
(If it has a check next to its name, it is already open on the right side of your screen. If it is not checked, let go of the mouse
when you scroll over the name and it will appear on the right side of the screen.)
5. Choosing the best character:
Start with an eyebrow or something clear or simple.
Choose the Type tool.
Type a letter or character that you think will closely represent the shape of the eyebrow. When you click on the image with the
type tool, Photoshop will add a new layer to your layers palette. I strongly suggest you name it after the part of the face you
are trying to represent i.e. R pupil, or L eyelash, etc. This will make it easier to find in the layers later if you need to.
Manipulation Options:
Character Palette: (on right side of screen)
Change Font Families
Change Font Size
Change Font Style
Scale Font Horizontally or Vertically
Edit > Transform (From the Menu Bar)
Scale – make the item larger or smaller
Rotate – change the angle of the item
Skew – slide the top to the right or left while the bottom stays fixed
Warp – change any side or corner independantly
Flip Horizontal/Vertical
You will need to experiment with each selection until you find one that you think best fits the portrait.
6. Move the font into place:
You can move your font into place over your portrait using the Move Tool ( the black arrow and the first tool in the tool box on
the left side of your screen) or by clicking inside the box and moving the font over into position.
7. Check your work without the image underneath:
Go to the Layers palette (on the right side of your screen) and find the “background layer” and close (click on) the eye; the image
will disappear. Click again and it will reappear. You can periodically re-check your progress by doing this step to see how your
font portrait is coming along without the image underneath.
8. Creating a new Layer:
Go to the menu bar and click Layer > New > Layer.
A window will appear and you will need to name the new layer.
I strongly suggest you name it after the part of the face you are trying to represent i.e. R pupil, or
L eyelash, etc. This will make it easier to find in the layer later if you need to.
9. Working with Layers:
It is important that you understand what layer you are on at all times. You can tell what layer you are on because it will be
highlighted in the Layers Palette.
10. What if you do not like something you created and want it GONE?
You can always choose edit>undo from the menu bar. If there is more than one step you want to undo, click on the last layer in
your History palette, now keep clicking on each layer above the last until your mistake disappears. When it disappears, continue
with the correct procedure.
11. Save your work:
Go to File > Save
Be sure to save it to your project folder on your desktop. Proceed to SHARE it to: [email protected]

We’ll create a popart design using an image of the singer shown. 1. Download the image to the right and save it to your "PopArt" folder in your projects folder. 2. Open Photoshop, and then open the Guitarist image.. 3. Choose the Lasso Tool from the Tool Box. 4. Trace around the outer edge of the guitarist. To add to the selection, hold SHIFT. To subtract from the selection, hold OPTION. 5. Press Ctrl+Shift+I, or choose SELECT > INVERSE to inverse the selection. 6. Press delete to remove the background area. 7. Now duplicate the guitarist layer twice. 8. Select the top layer. From image menu select ADJUSTMENTS > THRESHOLD. 9. Apply settings as shown 10. Since the guitar is white, we can’t see much effect in the guitar area. For that we’ll remove the guitar from this layer and apply threshold again on the layer below. 11. Create a selection of the guitar using the magic wand tool with a tolerance of 5. If the wand selects the white hilight around his shoulder, use the lasso tool and hold OPTION to subtract from the selection. 12. Press delete to remove guitar to reveal the unadjusted guitar on the layer below. 13. Select the second layer from top. From image select ADJUSTMENTS > THRESHOLD. Apply settings of 128 as shown. 14. Now, Select the Background Layer. Fill the background layer with yellow. 15. Turn off all of the guitarist layers. 16. Draw an X shape using CUSTOM SHAPES from the tool menus, and the X from the Options Bar. 17. Duplicate this layer many times. 18. If your layer looks like figure 16, then you need to rasterize the layer. Choose LAYER>RASTERIZE>LAYER. 18. Scale and rotate each of the X layers randomly to resemble something like you see in Figure 17. 19. Unhide all the GUITARIST layers. 20. Fill each of the X layers with a different color. To do that, we need to choose SELECT > LOAD SELECTION so that the X on the layer becomes selected. Then choose FILL and then COLOR from the Pop Up Menu. 21. Play around with the layer modes of the different tile layers to get an interesting background effect. |

Identities List
HOMEWORK
Due, at end of class Friday, November 18
Step 1 - List
Make a list of a minimum of 40 words which describe you. Use your name, not Bubba Bump or Bugs Bunny!
Step 2 - Matching
From your list, choose Three (3) pairs of words. Match words that offer a funny or unique pairing. The more naturally the words go together, the less creative or more expected the result will be. For instance, "green" and "pants". These 2 words naturally go together, so there isn't an unexpected outcome from this pairing. While "cereal" and "mustache" could create some very interesting images.

Create A Retro Badge
Due Thursday, November 10 at the end of class
This tutorial will help you create a vector retro badge or emblem. Particularly, in this year, the number of websites using these as attention grabbers is increasing, and it is being touted as a design trend that is not very likely to cease anytime soon. So, it becomes very important as a designer to know how to create these badges. Having these in your arsenal is sure to grab some eyeballs! So what are we waiting for, let’s get started. Step 1 Alright, let’s start off with the usual drill. Create a new document. I have started with an artboard of width and height of 1000px. Also, it helps to have Smart Guides turned on. They are very helpful for aligning elements on the artboard. If you haven’t already enabled them, hit Ctrl + U or go to View > Smart Guides. Now, with the Ellipse Tool,click anywhere on the artboard and in the pop up window, hit 280px in both width and height. Step 2 Now, click on the circle to select it and then change its Fill to white. Since this tutorial will be dealing a lot with different effects and such, it helps to have your Appearance Panel open. Hit Shift + F6 or alternatively, go to Window > Appearance. Add a stroke to the circle and change its weight to 2pt. You can use the Appearance panel to make these changes, as shown in the image. Step 3. With the circle selected, go to the Appearance Panel and hit the first button from the bottom-left to add a new stroke. Click on the word “Stroke” to change its settings. Now add in the values as shown in the image. Make sure that the new stroke is below the previous stroke. If it isn’t then drag it below the previous stroke. Step 4. With the circle selected go to Effect > Distort and Transform > Zig Zag and enter the values as shown in the image to the right. Step 5 Let’s round off the spikes. Again, with the circle selected, go to Effect > Stylize > Round Corners and enter a radius of 2 px. You would have observed in the previous step that there was an option to “Smooth” the points. Yes, that could have been done, but, having manual control on how smooth you want it to be is much better, which you could only achieve with this step. Step 6. Copy the circle by hitting Ctrl + C and paste it in front by hitting Ctrl + F. Now, select the new circle and change its dimensions by using the toolbar on the top (You can view it only after selecting any element.) Also, don’t forget to click on the link so as to make sure that the dimensions are equal and proportional. Step 7 Let’s modify this new new circle. With the Appearance Panel, select both the “Stroke” and delete them using the trash bin icon below as shown in the image. Step 8 Let’s give this new circle a different color. With it being selected, either use the Fill Square from the Tool bar or you can directly change the Fill using the Appearance Panel as shown in the image below. The color values are also given in the image for reference. Step 9 In the Appearance Panel, hit on the “New Fill” button to add a new fill. Also navigate to the Swatch Libraries Menu by clicking on the down pointing arrow next to the fill content (as shown in image). This would bring out a pop out menu. Click on the bottom-left first icon to go to “Swatch Libraries Menu”. From there, choose the “Diamond” texture by going to Patterns > Basic Graphics > Basic Graphic_Textures. Step 10 Now, set this new fill on overlay with 48% opacity. You can do this by clicking on the right pointing arrow next to the word “Fill”. Then with this Fill selected go to Effect > Texture > Grain and set both, Intensity and Contrast to 100. Step 11 Again, copy the circle by hitting Ctrl + C and paste it in front by hitting Ctrl + F. Now, select the new circle and change its dimensions by using the toolbar on the top. Step 12 With the Appearance Panel, add a new stroke to this new circle. Also change the existing bottom fill to values shown in the image. Step 13 Now, click on the texture fill. Let’s modify it. Again, just edit it (don’t add a new fill). Navigate to “Swatch Libraries Menu” as mentioned before. From there, go to Patterns > Decorative > Decorative_Geometric1 and select “Crosses Color”. Change the opacity from 48% to 10% and delete the grain effect. Step 14 Copy the new circle again, paste it, and change the dimensions of the latest circle again by using the toolbar on top. Step 15 Using the Appearance Panel, edit the stroke and the base fill. And yet again edit the texture fill to “Diagonal Lines” from Patterns > Basic Graphics > Basic Graphics_Textures and set the opacity to 34%. Change the “Overlay” to “Normal”. Step 16 Copy and paste the latest circle. Adjust the dimensions so that they are less that the previous circle by a small margin. In the Appearance Panel, delete everything except the “Stroke” and adjust it accordingly as shown in the image. This trick creates a cool “ring of dots”. Step 17 The base of our badge is done, let’s move on to add features to its face. Let’s start off by adding some text. Using the Type Tool (T) click anywhere on the artboard and type in anything that fancies you. I’ve typed in “League”. Adjust the Font, the Font style and the Font size accordingly as shown in the image. Change the Fill, if you wish. Step 18 With the text selected go to Effect > Warp > Arc Upper and set in the values as shown in the image. We are warping the text so that it fits nicely in the circular structure of the badge. This is editable, so even after warping you can easily edit the text. Step 19 Let’s add a good drop shadow to this text so as to make it look 3D. With the text selected, go to Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow and set in the values as shown in the image. Step 20 Now put this text on the badge and align it as shown in the image. One neat trick by using Shift + Arrow keys to nudge the text by 10px. You can also select both the circle and the text by holding down Shift and clicking on both these elements. Then, using tools on the top, click on “Horizontal Align Center” to horizontally align the text centrally in relation with the circle. Step 21 Let’s move on to add some decorative elements on our badge. Start off by creating a star using Star Tool. Click on the Star Tool and drag out a star onto the Artboard. Hold down Shift to get a proportionate star and use the arrow keys to adjust how many points you wish to have. Duplicate this star (by clicking on it and then dragging it while holding Alt). Using the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the top point of the duplicated star and nudge it using Shift + Up arrow to nudge it in measures on 10px upwards. I’ve nudged it 70px. Step 22 Again duplicate the duplicated star and the turn it upside down by selecting it and going to Object > Transform > Reflect, choose “Horizontal” and click OK. Step 23 Align them as shown (Smart Guides will show you where their commmon centres are). Also you might have to change the stacking order so as to have the original star on top on the other stars. Use Ctrl + [ to push an element down and Ctrl + ] to pull an element up. Step 24 Make two copies of these stars and align them with the badge as shown in the image. Scale them accordingly as you wish. Step 25 Draw some basic rectangular shapes using the Rectangle Tool (M) and make two copies of this. Use the image below for reference. Step 26 Align these to the badge as shown. You will probably have to scale them. But, you can position them wherever you wish, however big you wish. Step 27 Add some extra text. I’ve added “of” with the font “Lobster 1.3″ at 35pt. Also, I’ve applied a basic drop shadow (Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow). Place them between the rectangles we made, Use the image for reference. Step28 Using the Pen Tool (P) and Rectangle Tool (M) draw some shapes as shown in the image below. For now, set their stroke to black and fill to white. Step 29 Graphic Styles in my opinion is the best feature in Illustrator. You can apply a set of styles to any shape, path or text which also remains editable. Like Layer Styles in Photoshop, but, better and more flexible. Now, let’s create two graphic styles that we will apply to our shapes later. So, start off with any shape and modify its Fill and Stroke as shown in the image. Step 30 Add a new fill to this shape and again navigate to “Swatch Libraries Menu” and go to Patterns > Basic Graphics > Basic Graphics_Textures and select “Diamond”. Set this fill on overlay. Step 31 Let’s add some drop shadows to give it a 3D effect. So, select the shape and go to Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow and hit in the following values. Step 32 We’ll give it another drop shadow, so in the appearance panel, duplicate the Drop Shadow and edit it and just edit the color as shown in the image. Make sure that this drop shadow is below the previous drop shadow. Step 33 Now open up your Graphic Styles Panel by going to Window > Graphic Styles or you can alternatively hit Shift + F5. Select the shape again, and click on the “New Graphic Style” button on the Graphic Styles Panel. Voila! There you have it, you can then apply this Graphic Style to any other shape/path/text. Step 34 Now, onto our second graphic style. It is pretty similar, just delete the texture fill and change the base fill’s color to white. Then again add this to the Graphic Styles Panel. Step 35 Apply the first Graphic Style to the ribbon shapes we made. Don’t apply it to the two mini triangles, just change their fill and delete their stroke. Now align all those shapes as shown in the image below. Step 36 Align the ribbon onto the badge as shown in the image below. To move around the whole ribbon and not just any single shape, just select all the elements of the ribbon and group them by hitting Ctrl + G. Also don’t forget to change the stacking order of “of” so that it appears above the ribbon. |

OCCUPATIONS PRESENTATION
Due Sunday August 14th, 2016 by 11:59pm
SPECIFICATIONS
Length: Your PowerPoint must be a Minimum of 22 slides.
Text: Your Title slides must be easy to read:
Tips: Choose fonts that are clear and simple. Choose good color contrast. Must be able to be read from across the room when being presented (don’t use too small of a type size.) Don’t use too busy of a background.
Creativity: Remember that completing the minimal project requirements will earn C work. Adding more information, pictures, descriptions/explanations etc that are relevant and serve to a better understanding for the audience will earn the higher grades. So push past your first attempt, and dig deeper for the more interesting pictures, or the more intriguing facts. You want to visually communicate what the job is all about. This also is your first "design" project, so give it your best shot at being aesthetically pleasing.
TIPS:
1. Don't use too many font families or styles. Two fonts are usually enough, but you decide what looks best.
2. Don't have too many facts on a slide. We need to see it from across the room when presented. It is OK to have more than the required number of slides. When you have paragraphs of info on one slide, the text gets too small. Generally speaking, you want to have just one thought per slide.
3. If you put text or headlines over a photo, make sure the text is still readable. You shouldn't have to strain to read it. If you do, you will lose your audience.
4. When getting the content for this project, don't plagiarize!

Creative Juice Exercises
Creativity is something that should be trained everyday, or else it would get out of shape.
Thus, doing some creativity exercises would ensure that your brain remains sharp enough for you to do your projects effectively.
Aside from that, it’s inevitable that you will run into a creative block where it would seem that your fountain of creativity has run out. Doing some light doodling will help getting you back in the zone. I’ve listed some mini design exercises you can do to get your creative juices flowing.

Shape Ups
Due at Beginning of class, August 1st, 2016
Many graphics and logos contain letters that are drawn to form the shape of an object or an idea. There is freedom to drawing these types of words because there are no rules - the letters can simply morph into whatever you want them to be. A. Make a list of 5 Target words that are not objects. Remember our example of emotions or words like that. B. Pick the one you like the best. C. Now, make a list of 5 outline words that you can make outlines of to put your target word into, that would help to describe the spirit or meaning of your target word. D. Now make at least 3 sketches of each outline word with your target word inside E. You should end up with at least 15 sketches. F. These are to be made in your sketch book. Take a picture with your phone, upload it to your google drive, and share it with me at [email protected] Step 1 Draw a faint simple outline of your object. Step 2 Draw the middle letters of the word in the center of the outlined shape to establish the spacing of the letters. Step 3 Add the remaining letters. Step 4 Erase your outlined shape and refine your letter shapes Step 5 Add Color. Turning it in 1. Take a picture of your finished work and of all your sketches. 2. Upload them to your Google drive in a folder for Multimedia, and inside that a folder for Shape ups. 3. Share it to [email protected] |

The Many Faces of Your Imagination
Due at Beginning of class, August 1st, 2016
This exercise is pure fun. All you have to do grab a pencil, download the face template and begin drawing! 1. The template has nine areas for you to draw different types of faces. Try to be as descriptive as you can in your drawing. We want to see the emotion of the character. Anger, Fierceness, Timidity etc. Make a different emotion for each of the nine examples. Make it detailed. 2. Spend some time developing the personality of each of the characters. 3. You can add color to your drawings with a class set of colored pencils. The sub can get them for you if you ask. 4. Sketching is always a great way to sharpen your creative skills. Who knows, maybe one of the faces you draw will be a starting point for a great, 3D animated character in the future. |

Due at Beginning of class, August 1st, 2016
This mini-exercise requires the company of at least two other friends. Together, the three of you will be collaborating to create a monster. The trick is that you won’t see what each of you will draw until the very end. First, fold three pieces of paper into three linear sections. See picture #2 at right to see how to fold it. On each folded section write a number 1 for top, 2 for middle and 3 for bottom. Each person gets a piece of paper and starts to doodle a monster head on the top section 1. Get creative! It can have 20 eyes, three mouths, a Mario Bros hat on, whatever you want to draw is perfectly fine, as long as it is school appropriate. After each person is done, pass the paper to another person in your group. Now everyone begins to draw a monster mid-section on the #2 panel of your piece of paper. Once again, pass the paper around and then have everyone draw the legs and feet (or slime blob if your creature has no legs or feet) on section #3. After everyone is done drawing, open up your papers and see the finished monster creation that you have drawn together with friends. |
Tear It Up
Create a poster for a concert, going on in your town.
1. Sketch out in your sketchbook the layout and design for your poster. Include a main focal point picture. Example - the lead singer, the drummer or if it is a benefit concert, maybe for animal rights say, use an animal. Be creative. Think about who the audience is and what would make them want to buy tickets. Include a main headline, the dates, the name of the concert, a location and the cost of the tickets. 2. Now, Instead of executing your actual poster design with a pencil, make the poster completely out of torn things; pieces of paper, solid objects, magazines, found elements and make it a collage of found objects. 3. Plan for it. You will need to collect all of your torn or found elements at home and bring them to class. |

Here is where I draw the line
Lets get rid of the “I can’t draw” mentality.
Take out some sketch paper.
Now, find an object in the room you are in, and bring it in to class to draw tomorrow.
You are going to draw this object, but with a catch. You can’t look at the paper.
Look solely at the object. Don’t give in to the urge to look at the paper and see how you are doing.
Just draw. Have some fun with this.
