You should be finishing your 30 second, two-scene animation by the end of this week, or by Thursday at the end of class if you want to be exempt from my exam.

When you finish…

Design a 2-3 color tshirt design. It can be mainly text – like a favorite quote or saying. Or you can put it some artwork on it. Create this in Illustrator so that it is a vector graphic and has everything in layers .

Typically the design shouldn’t be any larger than 9″ by 9″.
Oh, and it must be school appropriate 🙂

For example…

Seniors: You’ll take your exams May 17-19. Most of your classes will be in the library. You’ll take my exams with me in my room.

9th-11th: Your exam schedule is below…

This is a tutorial to create an After Effects Introduction for your music video. It is intended to play over top of actual footage. So you might want to film a little extra footage for the very beginning if you don’t have something appropriate for it.

There will be no filming today due to testing.

We are in class today – there is testing in my hallway, so please be quiet as you walk through the hallway!

THERE SHOULD BE NO PHONES OUT WHATSOEVER!!!

Graphic Design 1 (1st period) and Audio/Video 1 (3rd period):
Open Adobe Express (formerly Spark), you’ll create a flyer that illustrates a SMART goal that you have for yourself. It can be personal, school or work related. Good goals are SMART (watch short video):

• S for specific. A goal should be linked to one activity, thought, or idea.
• M for measurable. A goal should be something you can track and measure progress toward.
• A for actionable. There should be clear tasks or actions you can take to make progress toward a goal.
• R for realistic. A goal should be possible to achieve.
• T for timely. A goal should fall within a specific time period.

You should start with a blank flyer (but look at templates for ideas) and add the following elements:

• Text – include your name and a well written smart goal. Consider the font, color, alignment, and effects
• Graphics – background and icons to design your flyer
• Color – keep it a 3-5 color scheme.

Save it, download it and email it to me.

Graphic Design 2 (1st-2nd periods) and Audio/Video 2 (2nd-3rd periods):
You don’t have software, so you will do Practice Certification Tests from the Reviews I gave you. This is your last chance, so make the most of your time.

Comp Sci 1 (4th period):
You will do the assignment in TechSmart. My video instruction is on the Zoom page on this site. Make sure you follow along with the video.
