"Getting my ACA certification has made all the difference in my education and my career! Because I was trained early on, I was able to attend Full Sail University with confidence. I received my BS in Digital Art and Design. It was a dream come true attending that college and it wouldn’t have been possible without dedication and a natural talent that came with being trained through ACA certification. I’m currently starting my own business".
– Michael Gribbin, Post Falls, Idaho
"As soon as I received my certifications, I started job hunting. Having these certifications gave me a distinct advantage and I was hired within a matter of days to work as a junior graphic designer for a well-known printing company".

Final Exam:
For your final exam you will be able to demonstrate the skills and talents that you have in the Adobe Software of your choice. You may choose to create a project using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or Animate. You may customize your project, but it must meet the requirements of the rubric that is specific to the software application that you chose. Consider this your capstone project for the year – you have the opportunity to demonstrate your proficiency in the design program that you like best!
Things to think about:
1. You may use more than one software to create your final exam project, but you must choose only 1 program to be graded on. For example: you may use Illustrator to create a character to use in your Animate animation, but you would be graded on the Animate Rubric for your animation, not your character from Illustrator. You will have the rest of your time in this class on this final exam project – think about that when you are choosing what your final project will be.
2. Plagiarism…don’t do it! Your project must be original work. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. If you choose to use someone else’s work you will receive a 0 for the final exam.
3. When you choose your project, remember this is your final exam. You need to understand this software because you cannot ask for help from your peers or myself.
4. Your project is due at the end of class on your final day in class. No matter where you are at on your project, you must submit it at the end of your final design class period.
5. READ YOUR RUBRICS!!! Each rubric is specific to the Adobe Software application program that you choose. Make sure you read through the excellent column in order to understand everything that you will be graded on. Your rubrics can be found below.
6. Print the rubric for the program that you have chosen to use for your final exam. You will submit this rubric at the end of the exam time.
7. If you choose to use Animate: Submit your final product via email and submit your rubric to me with your name on it.
If you choose to use InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator: Print and submit your rubric and your final products in color in person. Be sure to include your name on your final product and rubric. You will also need to submit your files via email as well.
Happy Designing and Good Luck!

You will be creating and submitting the next header for the cover page, for the May 3rd issue.
I will show you some examples in class, also below is the header file, and an example of the most recent cover page. I have spoken to the Paper, and they will give feedback on the ones they like, and will give credit in the paper to the student artist. This is a big opportunity, so let's take advantage of it.
See her exact e-mail below:
Hi Russ!
I've attached the logo base (psd) for the May 3 - Pets issue.
I've also attached the flyer so they can see what the section will look like - but their design doesn't need to resemble that.
We'll need to settle on a final design by April 26.
Thanks, and hope this is enough info, if not please feel free to call me.

See the below PDF's, for both ads. She wanted them re-done Friday, but we were not in class. So they said late Monday morning should work. See her e-mail below when finding out we did not have class. So find your Ad, make the suggested changes, and send back to me ASAP. Keep up the good work! The Paper Mar 15, 2019, 8:30 AM (2 days ago) to me Hah! Of course...looks like the start of a great day LOL. Late Monday morning would be fine. Worst case scenario, I'll adapt the one I think is best and give the student credit... Have a good weekend! |

Week 26: 3/11th - 3/15th
Thursday - March 14th: Third Ad Order. See below.
The Paper keeps sending us work. This next job is to do a redesign of the two below Real Estate Ads. They are having readability issues during print. Both need to be similar in nature. Can you find the typo? See the clients e-mail below. If you can just fix the readable issue, that should do it. The Paper Hi Russ, Here are two ads that we'd love to have your students work on. One is completely new (Lehmans) and the others just needs to be "fixed" so that it's readable. I didn't run it in this issue because the contrast has been so poor when it's printed. But you can see it in the last one, the one with the Herd Winterfest on the front page. I've attached the original. (Part of the problem might be because it's a gif.) |

Distorted Perspective / Illusion Photography
This is not the easiest activity to do, so do your best, think outside the box, be creative! You may use the internet to get ideas, but this needs to be original work. Take your time, have fun!
Your assignment is to create 3 unique distorted perspective / illusion photos using the digital cameras. You can use images in the room, halls, gym, almost any where in the building, or even outside. (Please do not disrupt other classes to take pictures!) The images used for this assignment, must be taken by you NOT taken from the internet!
Once you think you have the photos you need you may use any Adobe software you like to create your distorted / illusion photos. Keep in mind the three rules to follow from the video:
1) The photos combined should have the same perspective.
2) The photos combined should have the same type of light.
3) Make it impossible to see where the images begin and end. Making the photos seamless.
When complete:
1. E-mail me all 3 files, so I can see layers and such.
2. Print all 3 in color and turn in the box. Please put your name on the back.

You can use any image you like, you may use Photoshop or Illustrator and you must include an answer key in addition to your project. When done, print the original image, your image with your difference, and your answer key.

Have fun and be creative! Make these challenging! Your peers will be trying to find your image differences. Some examples are below.

We are going to embark on our first major project in Illustrator - Creating your own, personal brand logo. This project will involve research, design, and instruction. The entire project is worth 150 points and will NOT be completed in 1 day. You will be graded on the practice activity, content of your research paper, the sketches and creation of your logo, the written step by step guidelines that you create to teach someone else how to duplicate your logo, and the recreation of your logo from your peer that used your guidelines. You will need to be thorough and specific throughout the entire process in order to be successful on this assignment. I want excellence rather than speed on this project so take your time and show me what you can do! Good luck - I know that we are going to see and learn some amazing things through this project!
:) Some things that you should keep in mind as we begin:
1. This logo should represent who you are as a person
2. Looking at the completed logo we should have a better understanding of what is important to you.
3. This must be an original design!
4. The plan is to put these on T-shirts.

Week 3: 9/17 - 9/21
Wednesday - 9/19:
1. Find a tutorial for Photoshop that you can do from start to finish. (remember to choose Adobe CC)
* Challenge yourself - You may not use FaceSwap...sorry. Try something new!
* This tutorial should teach us all something new.
* Remember to watch the entire tutorial to make sure it is something you can actually MASTER and TEACH!
* I must approve your tutorial, so see me when you think you have selected a skill to teach. Please follow these guidelines below.
A. FOLLOW THE RUBRIC....after you've read the rubric then proceed to step #2.
B. Try to be realistic...your tutorial shouldn't take 6 weeks to master. Find something challenging, but manageable.
C. Ask your classmates or see me to see if any of them have chosen the same tutorial. You may not do the same thing so teach to each other.
2. Complete the project and MASTER the skill. You must be able to show the class how to do the skill and answer questions about it as well.
3. Teach the class how to do your chosen project without using the original tutorial.
* You will get in front of class and use the teacher computer and projectors to show your skill to the class.
* You will take the class from start to finish and answer their questions as you go.
* When choosing your lesson, remember that your classmates need to be able to complete it in 1 single class.
* You must have a handout for your peers and Mr. Philip as a guideline for your skill.
You will be graded on:
1. The original product that you complete using the tutorial (using the Photoshop assignment rubric)
2. The lesson you give in class (remember this needs to be able to be completed in 1 class session)
3. The handout you create for your classmates.
4. The difficulty of the skill. If you choose to show us how to create a line you will struggle on this project.
Challenge yourself and your classmates and remember REVIEW THE RUBRIC!
I am attaching some links as resources for Photoshop tutorials, but remember to verify that the tutorial you choose is Adobe CC. You may find your own resource, but these links will at least give you a place to start. Click on the buttons below to be directed to the links.
