I know many of you have not finished your posters using PikToChart from last weeks assignments. Please set those projects aside for now and focus on this because we are on a timeline to get these projects completed. Your assignment for this week will be to create a Magazine Cover Profile for one of the Homecoming Court Candidates. You will be assigned a person and must create a profile page for them. I will assign you a student tomorrow (tuesday). Today, you need to create an account through Canva (the program we will be using) and begin to design the layout of your Magazine Cover. See project requirements below. First you need to create an account at CANVA After you have registered, you will need to CREATE A NEW PROJECT Scroll down to DOCUMENTS and select the MAGAZINE option. Select your design layout and start designing!

For this project you will be creating two posters: 1.) A schedule of events for the week of homecoming.....particularly focused on your themed dress up days. You will be graded on: - Accuracy of information - Design Quality: Contrast, emphasis, color scheme, unity, etc. - Photos/Graphics - At least one photo, graphic or text must be manipulated in pixels (cut out background--must save file as a png, hue and saturation, and/or use of filters) - You poster should be created on Piktochart--Should not look like it was created in Word or Google Docs. - You MUST alter the original template you have chosen to use. (i.e. change the opacity, change the color and size of objects, include photos, alter text, etc.) **YOUR POSTER MUST BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL TEMPLATE YOU CHOSE.** 2.) A poster highlighting one dress up day in particular.
You will be graded on: - Accuracy of information--Include day of the week as well as the date--explain the theme - Design Quality: Contrast, emphasis, color scheme, unity, etc. - Photos/Graphics - At least one photo, graphic or text must be manipulated in pixels (cut out background--must save file as a png, hue and saturation, and/or use of filters) - You poster should be created on Piktochart--Should not look like it was created in Word or Google Docs. - You MUST alter the original template you have chosen to use. (i.e. change the opacity, change the color and size of objects, include photos, alter text, etc.) **YOUR POSTER MUST BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL TEMPLATE YOU CHOSE.** Over the next week or so will be doing a series of 3 poster design assignments using Piktochart.
Assignment 1: Your first assignment with Piktochart is to create a poster advertising for "Pack the Gym" night or "Pack the Rink" night. Your Poster Must Include: Photos Text Information (times, admission, team roster, about the opponents etc.) **Extra Credit for students who use Pixlr to manipulate their photos (color, filters, cut outs etc.) To start off the new semester we will be doing a short poster/ad design project. We are doing this in partnership with some of the homecoming events. To do this we will be using a program called Piktochart. I do not have all of the details yet so your assignment today is to simply create a Piktochart account and begin playing around with some of the features on the site. Blog/Sketchbook Assignments:From this point forward you will have a choice to complete a weekly blog assignment OR a weekly sketchbook assignment your choices will be listed each week on Monday and are due on Friday. BLOG Post #5: Use Google Forms to create a Poll or Survey for your site. Use a Button to link your survey to your Blog Page. If you are not sure how to create a Google Form follow the link below and I can also help you tomorrow in class. Sketchbook Assignment: Compass Composition Begin layout of composition by using a pencil and compass
If you would like to add text to your pixlr project, the TYPE tool is what you will need to start with. Click anywhere on your image. A New Layer will automatically be created. Type whatever you want. Your new layer will be labeled whatever text you type. Edit your font, color and size. Click ok. At this point you can move your text wherever you would like on your canvas. However, you cannot use any of the transform tools or other editing tools because it is still a text format. You will need to RASTERIZE the layer. go to "Layer" and down to "Rasterize Layer" By Rasterizing a layer, it makes it into an editable layer versus a text layer. You can now use the transform, color adjustment and other editing tools.
**NOTE: be sure you are done typing any text before you rasterize. Once you do this you will no longer be able to edit the content of your text. |
