Graphics are all around you — print media, Internet, TV, packaging, and the document you’re reading now! As our world becomes increasingly visual, graphics are impacting how information is delivered. This course provides experiences for students to use image, type, color, illustration, and photography to create dynamic media using Adobe Creative Suite. Students will focus on the design process needed to create print and digital media that effectively communication messages and information.

Tuesday May 26th and Thursday May 28th
This week is the week to make sure your work is PUBLISHED on your Weebly.
Seniors- If you have finished your 10 Projects and you have 10 marked collected in PowerSchool you are still REQUIRED to fill out the Week 7 Check for Understand form.
Missing or comments in Powerschool that are preventing you from getting a collected mark- READ them. I will not give credit to work that falls below 60% and it is all in the details.
NO CREDIT- If you do not complete 10 Projects for this class you will receive NO CREDIT. If this is the path you chose- you will need to let your counselor know so the paperwork that you and your parents sign can be completed for the year.
ALL LATE WORK DUE FRIDAY JUNE 12th.

Thursday May 21st- Brush
Brush is present.
Brush is minimal.
Good example but the font is too plain and missing a brush.
For CREDIT you will need a completed Book Cover (8 x 10) executed in Illustrator that has the following:
1. The Environment- A foreground, middle ground and background. Must include a brush, gradients and patterns. In this case a pattern does not need to be in the swatches- it could be a repeated line or leaf.
2. Character(s)- A main character and supporting character(s) that exhibits these qualities: gradients, textures and no/or minimal black outlines. If your book is identifying things or objects like trees let me know as you will need a minimum of 8 inanimate objects (trees) for the book so your cover might be a Forest.
3. Typography- A title that uses a unique font and that has 2 of the following: drop shadow, gradient or pattern in it. (Type- create outlines.) And includes and author in a unique font.
4. Design: The Book Cover is a continuation with the Back Cover or has a seamless transition between the two.
5. Aesthetics: The Bool Cover Design has to have integrity. It needs to show all the skills above in a way that identifies your style.
Publish your Book Cover to your Weebly page titled Children's Book.
Project 12- Children's Book Back Cover
OPTIONAL: A sketch of your Back Cover. Email it to me. if you would like help.
A Back Cover are more simple then Book Covers.

For CREDIT you will need a completed Back Cover (8 x 10) executed in Illustrator that has the following:
1. The Environment- A foreground, middle ground and background. Must include a brush, gradients OR patterns. In this case a pattern does not need to be in the swatches- it could be a repeated line or leaf. If your book is identifying things or objects like trees let me know as you will need a minimum of 8 inanimate objects (trees) for the book so your Front and Back Cover might be a Forest.
2. Character(s)- A main character and supporting character(s) that exhibits these qualities: gradients, textures and no/or minimal black outlines.
3. Typography- The text included on the back cover is the purpose of the book. Synopsis if you will. The moral of the story. The why we should read it in text. You must have varied size of text- ONCE UPON a time in a land far away.
4. Design: The Back Cover is a continuation with the Book Cover or has a seamless transition between the two.
