Monday- Delayed Start

Today we are having a make-up work day.  Due to the delayed start and school bus issues, we took today to finish up any lingering assignments students needed to finish.  On Wednesday we will start our final project in our Typography unit!  Ideas and hints for the final project in today's ARTiFact!

Thursday

ARTiFacts #7

1. Finish working on Turtle Design.  Students will vote of best turtle design in the class.  

2. Students will also begin working on their Words as Images project, the first of two typography projects!  We will work on these the rest of the class period!  

Wednesday & Friday

Today we finished up any lingering logo activities and emailed them to duffyohs@gmail.com.  We also began experimenting with Typography and learning how to move, warp, and twist letters and words to fit in or around a shape. 

On Friday we finished up our shape/word designs and began creating shapes and animals using only the words in their name.  For instance, we created a giraffe shape only using the letters g-i-r-a-f-f-e.   The challenge of the day was to visually create a turtle only using the letters of turtle.  Students may use the word more than once in their designs.  Next class we will see who created the best turtle design.

Monday 2/11

Students need to continue working on their Logo Designs!   Make sure YOU have created everything in your design...no pictures, logos, or designs taken from the internet!  If you want to re-create a picture you found, you MUST REDRAW the image in photoshop!  Take your time, think about your colors, fonts, and readability.  Who is your viewer?  Are they going to remember you design?  Does your design show what your club or company does?  

When you think you are done, save save save in your H: Drive!!!!

Thusday!

Today, students continued with brainstorming logo ideas by researching clubs and companies.  They needed to choose a club or a company during this hour and begin their designing process by starting out with 3 sketches of what they want their logo to look like.  Then the designs must be OKey me before they begin designing on the computer!  We will be working on these logos for a few class periods.

2/5

Today we finished our practice logo designs (radio station) and explored our paint brush, pencil, smudge, blur, sharpen and eraser tools.  We learned how to use all of these tools to benefit our designs.

 

We also looked at the Logos and Color Theory PowerPoint, which is loaded onto Cole for your viewing convenience.  Students began to brainstorm what kind of logo they would like to create for their first project.

 

Students must come into Thursdays class with their logo idea! 

Designing will start first this Thursday morning!
