Week 34: 5/5 - 5/9
Wednesday - May 7th
Final Project:
For your final project you will be able to demonstrate the skills and talents that you have in the Adobe CC 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 choose. 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 ZERO for the final project.
3. When you choose your project, remember this is your final project. 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 a rubric and submit it with your name on it. Email me all of your files from your project.
Happy Designing and Good Luck!
