CD Business Card
Phase One Due Monday, March 9 2015
You can send potential clients or friends a CD that contains your presentation that runs automatically when they put the CD in their CD-ROM drive. The presentation can start automatically and run from beginning to end by itself. This technique works well for sales brochures that you create in PowerPoint, for a narrated slide show of your vacation pictures, or any other use you can imagine. The beauty of it is that the receiver doesn’t even have to have PowerPoint. You can also create many variations on the steps below. For example, you can add music instead of narration. Or, you don’t need to add timing to slides; instead, you can add an instruction to click on the slide to go to the next slide. This project is a Four-step process, so focus on one particular phase at a time. 1. PHASE ONE - PRELIMINARY PLANNING Build a concept for your Multimedia Presentation. You can make a promotional CD for your Band, a Sales promotion for a product or service, or a family photo album about an event. Whatever it is going to be, it must include the following: A word list describing the product/band/service/ or event. 40 word minimum. A summary of the story or promotion. You must tell a persuasive story that moves the audience to do something. This is called a CALL TO ACTION. Call 800..., Buy Now, Get involved....etc and include the instructions on how they get in contact with you. A storyboard showing the main scenes of the promotion. The Video Line is where you explain the visual scene. The Audio Line is where you tell us what we are hearing, either the talking lines from the script or the music or a sound effect or all! You should turn in at least 2 sheets. 3 boxes does not show the progression of the commercial well enough. Each box should show a key frame of the commercial. 2. PHASE TWO - PRESENTATION Must include the following: A Title page and Introduction You must describe the event/product/service Must include a minimum of 15 slides in the presentation Must include music or a narration audio component 3. PHASE THREE - AUTHORING 4. PHASE FOUR - CD PACKAGE DESIGN Your CD package must include the CD label design, the CD Liner Notes booklet and the CD Jewel case tray design. To the right you will find several booklet templates along with the tray and the CD template. Open the template in Illustrator. Create a new layer for your artwork, and begin the design of your CD package. This design should capture the intended feeling |

signature tile
Due Wednesday, February 25, at the end of class (P2&3)
Due Thursday, February 26, at the end of class (P4&5) Repetition and Pattern In this project, you will be creating a repeating pattern design out of your signature. The objective is to make a simple design become a more complex and completely different design through the use of color and repetition. By repeating the same shapes, you will create a pattern that should create a feeling of rhythm and movement. Objective Understanding Closed shapes and how to fill them in photoshop. Mastering the Transform, Paint Brush, and Paint Bucket tools. Using critical thinking skills, applying intellectual curiosity and the ALP skills of Analyze and Synthesis to create 3 unique patterns. Applying color theory to the designs while employing the color schemes of Analogous, Complimentary and Monochromatic. Instructions You will create three different tile designs. As you execute it in Photoshop, you will choose 3 different color themes to work with. One must be Complimentary colors. The others are your choice between Monochromatic, Analogous, Primary or Tertiary. Step 1 1. Log on to Computer 2. Click on the Mac OS icon (Finder) in the Application Dock. 3. Choose File > New Finder Window from the File menu. You should see a new window open. Step 2 Select the column view At the top left corner of the finder window, select the third most VIEW selection, which is column view. Step 3 Open Practice Worksheet From the class web site, download the practice worksheet from the downloads tab. Print it out (Only if handouts are not made available.) Step 4 Start tile design Using the triangle design on the practice worksheet, start by writing your name along the long edge of the triangle. See figure to the right. Use all 4 triangles. We will use the best 3, so make many sketches. Use multiple sheets if you need to. Note-Keep in mind that we are going to fill these shapes with color later, so everything needs to be a shape, not a line. Notice the name ALDO is outlined so that we can fill it with color later. Add design elements to your background to add dimension to your design. Be sure to keep everything as an outline. Refer to your name lists to use your own interests as a source to develop a theme. Use things that you like or that describe you. Use one practice sheet per design. So you'll have one sheet of four versions for Complimentary, and one each for the other two schemes. Indicate which of the 4 versions you consider the winner for each sheet. Identify which color scheme you will use with which design, then, Turn it in to Mr Exum to scan. Step 5 Scan Your Artwork Step 6 Open Photoshop From the Application Dock, located at the bottom of your screen, click on the icon with a blue box and the letter PS inside the box. This will launch the Photoshop application. Step 7 Create a New Document Select file>new from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Enter the following settings. Name: YourName_p#_SignatureTile1.psd Note: Use Upper Lower case, no spaces; Use underscore for in between words; DO NOT DELETE the .psd at the end of the name. Width = 3 inches Height = 3 inches Resolution = 300 pixels Color = RGB Background = Transparent Step 8 Open Scan From the Menu Bar, choose FILE>OPEN. Navigate to the MEdia server>Classes>Multimedia>Period# and select your scanned image file. Step 9 Select the Tile From your Menu Bar, choose SELECT>SELECT ALL Then from the Edit Menu, choose EDIT>COPY. Step 10 Choose your SignatureTile.psd file and then EDIT>PASTE to place your scanned image into the new file. Step 11 From the Select Menu, choose SELECT>SELECT ALL. Then, from the EDIT MENU, select EDIT>TRANSFORM>SCALE. Move your artwork so that the left side is placed to the right edge of the page, and the top edge of your artwork is to the top of the page. See figure to the right. Then pull the right side handle to the right untill the top right corner of your triangle meets the top right corner of your page. Do the same for the bottom left corner of the artwork. When the artwork is placed PERFECTLY, move your tool inside the live area, and double click to let go of the tool. See figure to the right. Step 12 Select the Magic Wand Tool From your Tool Box, select the magic wand tool. Step 13 Position it over the empty triangle in your image, and click once with the mouse. Notice the marching ants around just the empty part of the triangle. If your selection goes into the art, you have a leak and you need to close it off. If this is the case, Try this. Choose the pencil tool. Place it in the bottom left corner. Hold the shift key, and click the mouse once and let go. While still holding the shift key, Move the mouse to the upper right corner, click again and let go of the mouse, then the shift key. This will draw a perfectly straight line between the 2 points that you clicked. Be sure your foreground color is black before you try this. Step 14 With the white triangle selected, choose EDIT>CUT from the menu bar. Now choose SELECT>DESELECT from the menu bar. Step 15 To add color to your tile, you need to look closely at your artwork and see where all the closed shapes are. You cannot fill an open shape because it will fill other areas that you don’t want filled. Use the pencil tool to close all your shapes. Change the color to white, adjust your brush thickness, and clean up the artwork. Step 16 Filling a shape From the Tool Box, click on the gradient tool and hold the mouse button down until the pop up window appears. From that, select the paint bucket tool. Step 17 Open the Swatches Palate. Choose WINDOW>SWATCHES from the menu bar. Step 18 Select a color At the bottom of the tool box, there are 2 overlapping squares; one black and one white. The one in front represents the FOREGROUND color, the other is the BACKGROUND color. Click in the center of the foreground box to get the color picker window. Click anywhere in the gradient to change the value of red. If you want a different color, select anywhere in the rainbow bar next to it . When you have the color that you want, select ADD TO SWATCHES. Add up to six colors to your swatches palate before clicking OK to this window. Choose colors that are correct for the color scheme you have chosen for this design. (Complimentary, Monochromatic, Analogous, Secondary, Tertiary or Primary). Step 19 Use the Paint Bucket Tool. With your desired color showing in the foreground box at the bottom of the tool box, move the paint bucket over the shape you want to fill and click. Step 20 Repeat Repeat this step, changing between the six colors you chose from your swatches palate, until your tile design is filled with the colors of your scheme. Step 21 Building Your Tile Now that you have your tile colored the way you want, we are going to create more sections of this tile as you did in the Tile Pattern project. Choose LAYER>DUPLICATE LAYER from the menu bar. Choose EDIT>TRANSFORM>ROTATE from the Menu Bar. Choose EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP VERTICLE from the Menu Bar if you need to. You should have a mirror image of your first triangle. Step 22 Duplicate Choose LAYER>MERGE VISIBLE from the menu bar. You should now have only one layer in your layers palate. Choose IMAGE>CANVAS>ROTATE CANVAS to determine the positioning of your artwork. Step 23 Increasing the work area Click on Image>Canvas size. Change the canvas size to 6 inches by 6 inches, and select the top left box in the Anchor selector. Now put a guide at 3 inches from both horizontal and vertical rulers. Choose the MOVE Tool from the tool box, and drag the tile to the top left corner if it is not already. Step 24 Now duplicate the layer. Now choose EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP HORIZONTAL and move the new artwork to the top right position. Repeat this for the other two quadrants of the image. Step 25 Increase the canvas size again to 12 by 12 and repeat the last two steps to end up with the tile you see to the right. Step 26 Save your file to your name folder>Signature Tile folder on your desktop. 27. Choose FILE>SAVE AS and select : ohs307_MacPro1 > MediaServer > 2014_15 > Multimedia>P# > SignatureTile. YOUR FILE NAME MUST BE AS FOLLOWS TO GET CREDIT FOR THIS PROJECT YourName_P#_SigTile_Complimentary.psd. Do not delete the .psd from the name or you (and I) will not be able to open it. |

HOMEWORK
Due, and end of class Monday, September 15
Step 1 - List
Make a list of a minimum of 25 words which describe you. Use your name, not Tony Stark, Peter Pan, Batman, Spider Man.....or Cap'n Crunch!
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 isnt an unexpected outcome from this pairing. While "cereal" and "mustache" could create some very interesting images.
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.
The more quality drawings/pairs you do, the better your chance of a higher grade.
Thats 15 drawings in all, plus the word list.

Occupations presentation
Due Sunday August 10th, 2014 by 11:59pm
SPECIFICATIONS
Length: Your PowerPoint must be a Minimum of 20 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!
DOCUMENT YOUR SOURCES
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE FROM ANY SOURCE. THIS IS IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!!!
Use this as a check list as you progress through the completion of the project. This is just as much a design project as it is a written assignment. How it looks is as important as what it says. It is all part of the story you are telling.

Must have the National; Regional; and Local statistics
Slide 9 - 10 Descriptions
