Week 19: 1/25 - 1/29
Monday - January 25th: Today we start our first contest, the Doodle 4 Google contest. See the information and details below! This is due Friday, January 29th.
See the link to the contest below. We will review this in class, but you are responsible to review the contest requirements. We will be submitting them online.
This year’s Doodle 4 Google theme is:
“I AM STRONG BECAUSE...”
Strength isn’t only about how fast you can run or how many pushups you can do – it’s also about the strength inside of you.
How do you rise above troubles and keep moving forward in tough times? When you make mistakes or get scared, what helps you clear the clouds above your head? When people around you are feeling down, how do you use your inner strength to lift them up?
Our theme this year invites you to tell us what makes you uniquely strong.

Personal Brand Logo Project
Tuesday - November 3rd: DUE - ?
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.

3. Save as a JPG. Print and submit as part of your project packet.
***I'm including a picture of the final logo that you are creating so that you have some idea of what direction you are heading with this assignment. Some of this is review, but you will learn some valuable techniques in creating a logo.

1. Create a new Google Doc titled 10 things about Photoshop CC.
2. Begin watching the video and FOLLOW ALONG (you will need headphones - let me know if you don't have any). You will open Photoshop CC and do the skills that he shows you in the video.
3. In the document you created, you should list the 10 things that Terry discusses and describe them in detail. You should have a minimum of 3 sentences for each item on the list.
4. Did I mention you should follow along with the video? As in, do what Terry is doing in the video? You will have to stop the video, practice, maybe rewind, and LEARN the skill that he is demonstrating. FOLLOW ALONG means PRACTICE AS YOU GO!!! I met this man at a conference a few summers ago and he is the best at teaching Adobe - he knows what he's talking about and he makes it really easy to follow and understand so take advantage of what he has to say!
5. When you have completed the video tutorial and the document, print the document and submit. Remember to include your name, class hour and the name of the software at the top of the document.
