END OF THE YEAR Sign Out Sheet!

Here's the sheet that's your ticket OUT!!! :-)

I'm Out Today....

Hey Guys,

I'm out of school until Wednesday- I'm with my daughter at the National History Day Event in Washington , it's a pretty cool competition for high school kids who create projects (presentations, web sites, posters, video, etc) about events in history. You guys would do well in this competition with your design skills and creative ideas.

If you want to see more about it go here @ http://www.nhd.org/About.htm


Please note the posts listed below- one for the class evaluation, one about posting info on your final project. I took the folder of printed 20X30's next door to be sure they were entered in the competition- Matt F and others who want to enter theirs must print today, and pass it in to the art teachers next door (like Mrs. Hanczar). I told them you may be dropping of prints, and they are looking for your work.

I posted directions for printing on the blog- Mike did a great job on his, so you could also ask him!

Have a good day- I'll see you Wednesday

POSTING THE FINAL

When posting images of your final project, discuss your ideas and solutions by answering these questions about your work:

TOPIC

What was your topic?

What do you hope to achieve/ change by communicating  your message?

 How will your audience "get" the message? What process will they go through?

CREATIVITY

Discuss how you used these design characteristics to communicate your message: document size, shape, color/ no color, orientation, use of images, use of type, use of software techniques, materials (paper, others).

DESIGN

How did you organize your creation in regard to the principals of design?
    - what's the focal point?
    - how do we move through it?
    - is it balanced?
    - is there variety?
    - how did you use positive/ negative space?

PRINTING 20 X 30

Because our large format printer is broken.... we have to print using the EPSON 1400 (called Boris).

That means you have to set up the printer to "tile" your work onto FOUR sheets of 13 X19 paper. Here's how

First, create a new page in Illustrator, set to 20X30 inches....

Then "place" the photoshop image and arrange it onto the art board... here's the image...

Drawing by "Cody" in digital drawing...

Then set up the print dialog box to match these settings....

Notice the "tile" feature is on and the "overlap" is set for 1/2 inch..... that's the glue area...

see how the preview shows the tiling?

Then print and glue the pieces together!!!!!
