SHOE PROJECT
First: You and your classmates will all play the slideshow (above) as a class on your laptops and have a brilliant class discussion/brainstorm about what makes a good design and a better advertisement with your guest teacher, demonstrating your mastery of the principals of design. 
|
Second: Your guest teacher will hand out the SHOE design worksheet and RUBRIC. Your name goes on both.
Third: You will then review the worksheet and RUBRIC with your guest teacher. Fourth: Then you will begin your worksheet front side, then backside depending on whether or not you choose to use the template I provided. You may request a BLANK sheet of paper for this portion of the assignment and draw your own shoe! Have fun designing... LASTLY: Attach RUBRIC to your worksheet by stapling them together, and hand it in to your guest teacher. |
NOW THANK YOUR GUEST TEACHER FOR A BRILLIANT CLASS AND HAVE AN AMAZING REST OF YOUR DAY...

Getting started in Design...
What is a Vector image?
Pixels versus resolution!
We will watch this short video describing Vector images, and then do some exploring in Adobe Illustrator to understand the fundamentals.
Pixels versus resolution!
We will watch this short video describing Vector images, and then do some exploring in Adobe Illustrator to understand the fundamentals.
Learning Photoshop... A refresher for some, new concepts for others.
In this lesson, you’ll begin to learn how to use these Photoshop tools:
We’ll be combining a photo of a crab with a photo of sand. The crab is from Fort Bragg, California, and the sand is in Santa Monica, California.
- Magic Wand tool
- Lasso tool
- Magnetic Lasso tool
- Hand and Zoom tools
We’ll be combining a photo of a crab with a photo of sand. The crab is from Fort Bragg, California, and the sand is in Santa Monica, California.
1.) Right click on each image below to select and download the full-size photographs.
Source Crab... Right click and save this image of a crab to use him for your project...
1.) After you copy the crab and sand, open up Photoshop and open each image.
Dancing Ants!
missing bits...
Using the Lasso Tool...
Draw with the Lasso tool
Selection too big
8. Select the Hand tool from the Tools panel:
9. Click-and-drag with the Hand tool from the top-left to the bottom-right a few times (to navigate up and to the left), so that we see the crab’s left shoulder in the image window. 10. With the Add to selection button activated in the Control panel, add this bit (shown below) back in, where the bright highlights on the crab’s shell met up with the white background. 
Selection added
selection subtracted
10. Finally, use the selection tool of your choice to add this white bit back into the crab selection. It’s another highlight (not background.) |
Source Sand... Right click and save this image of sand to use for your project
2.) Select the Magic Wand tool from the Tools panel. It may be hidden in the fly-out menu of the Quick Selection tool (remember to click-and-hold on a tool icon to access its fly-out menu.)
3.) Verify the settings in the Control panel. Make sure that the New Selection button is active, that Tolerance is set to 30, and that the Contiguous check box is checked. Tolerance means how many colors will be selected that are similar to the color of the pixel you click on. Contiguous means that the selection will only include pixels that are neighboring—the selection will not jump over into non-contiguous areas.
4.) The Magic Wand tool selects flat areas of similar color all at once. Because the crab’s background is solid white, and the crab is very colorful, it will be easiest to select the background in the image. Start by click once with the Magic Wand in the white background. Most of the white background should be selected. The selected areas will have animated dashes around them. This moving outline is commonly referred to as “marching ants.”
5.) This selection is pretty good but leaves out some bits of white background. It also cuts into the crabs claw on the right a bit. We need to add to our existing selection. To do this, hold down the Shift key while you click with the Magic Wand in the white area between the crab’s body and his legs on the left. When you press Shift, it adds to the selection you already have. 
6.) Now that we have the majority of the white background selected, we can invert the selection to that it wraps around our crab buddy instead. Go to Select > Inverse. Notice that there are no more marching ants around the edge of the image window--just around the crab himself.
Using the Lasso Tool
4. We also need to draw around the edge of the claw to add it back into the selection. This bit will take a steadier hand. We will need to use a selection tool that gives us more control: the Lasso tool. It is the third tool down in the Tool box (and may be hidden in a fly-out menu.)
5. In the Control panel, click on the Add to selection button so that you don’t need to press and hold the Shift key during the next step. Also make sure that Feather is set to 0 px (or inches) so that we get a crisp edge.
6. If you let go of the mouse too soon, the Lasso tool will complete the new selection from where you let go. This is okay; just draw a new area to add to the selection where you left off. 7. If you add way too much outside of the claw’s edge, simply switch to the Subtract from selection button in the control panel, and draw to cut the extra area out. 
Another piece to add to the selection
Using the Magnetic Lasso Tool
 last bit to subtract from selection
1. Zoom all the way out so that the crab fits in the image window: double-click on the Hand tool icon inside the Tools panel. 2. There’s one more area that needs to be subtracted from the selection: the opening within the right-hand claw. 3. Zoom into this region. 4. Select the Magnetic Lasso tool from the Lasso tool’s fly-out menu: 
5. In the Control panel, click on the Subtract from selection button.
6. The Magnetic Lasso tool “sticks” to edges where there is high contrast. You simply draw close to the edge and the Magnetic Lasso should snap to the edge, marking its path with tiny square markers. Click once to start the selection, then release the mouse button; simply drag the mouse slowly around the desired selection area. 7. The bottom corner of this claw opening does not have enough contrast for the tool to “see” it. Click at any place along the edge to “help” the tool add a square marker to your selection. 8. If you end up with a square marker way off the path, simply press the Backspace key to back up. Each time you press the Backspace key, you will undo the markers working back toward the beginning of your selection. 9. When you all the way around the claw opening, hover your mouse over the first square. Your Magnetic Wand cursor should show a little open circle next to it. This indicates that you are ready to complete the path. Click once with your left mouse button to do so. By the way, it’s okay if these selections don’t look perfect. You’re just getting the hang of making selections. We’ll soften the edge a bit to hide some of our imperfections. Later on, you’ll learn how to use the Pen tool to make very precise selections. 
final bit to add to selection

Now... go find sample images on the www to play with and combine...
You will need to submit two examples of combined images the crab and sand, plus one additional project of your choosing where you carefully combine two images to create a new seamless one, building on your photoshop skills during this class!
Use the steps in the Design Process to create your T-Shirt... or else
You must move through the steps in the design process to complete your t-shirt project...
You must provide proof of each step and hand it in at the completion of the last step (communicate your results).
Assignment #6 T shirt Design and Printing
Your first task will be to brainstorm 15-20 different ideas for a logo that you can put onto a t-shirt. Your designs should include enough details to be creative and interesting, yet not so detailed that it is difficult to cut out. The following are good examples of negative space logos...
a. Use the page provided, and hand it in at the end of class...
b. Be sure to turn your thumbnails sketches into me for a mark and date the page.
c. Remember that your T-shirt design cannot have gradations or be a raster.
After you have completed your thumbnail page create your 3 roughs.
a. Your "roughs" are the 3 best designs you created (get feedback, and record it, about which logos to develop).
b. Be sure to place your Roughs page with your thumbnails, and return it to me at the end of class.
After you have completed your brainstorm ideas you will need to collect feedback on all of your designs.
a. You must collect feedback from 5 different people.
b. Each person must look at all of your designs and provide one comment on why they would/would not choose the design.
c. Comments should be related back to the elements and principles of design.
d. In this assignment you will be marked on the quality of comments you collect.
e. Please write or type the comments out making sure your give credit to those who provide you with comments.
f. Your feedback sheet should be submitted to Mrs. Hession.
Your next step is to chose the design you would like to use.
Typically it is the one you received the most positive feedback on.
Ultimately it is your choice.
You may decide that you would like to one of the designs that people did not choose.
Your job though is to find out how to make it better and make the necessary changes.
Once you have made your decision you will need to CREATE ONLY ONE COMP for the design chosen. (you are the client so only one is necessary, and because you are going to scan your sketch you will not need color, but have some color ideas ready).
Your sketch should have “clean lines”. This will help when you get to the trace part of the assignment.
Please make sure to turn in your comp for credit.
You will be marked on creativity, level of difficulty, following the above directions, and quality of the sketch.
You will need to demonstrate your ability to use the scanner to scan an image and save that image to your O drive.
Trace
Use the skills you have learned through your practice assignments to trace the design you have created in order to create a vector image. You will be marked on the level of difficulty of the trace and the smoothness of your trace. Be sure to eliminate the jagged look that that can appear. Your trace will be used as an outline over your RASTER image, which you will print using Illustrator, with your RASTER outline, allowing the printer to cut out your design for you...
Position Brainstorm
Before you cut your logo you will need to determine where on your shirt you are going to place your logo(s). To do this please complete the following:
What To Do:
1. Look at your tshirt and determine where you want to place your logo.
2. Measure the space, translating that measurement to your logo.
Cut
Once you have determined the size and colors of vinyl you will use in your design you can cut out the different parts on the vinyl cutter. You will be expected to know how to set up the cutter and vinyl.
Please remember the following:
a. Use heat transfer vinyl, scraps primarily, using a variety of colours.
b. Cut your design in reverse in order to have them appear correct when you apply them to your shirt.
Vinyl Application
Now that you have an idea of where you want to place you will need use the heat press to transfer your design to your shirt.
Here are some things to remember.
a. Watch a demonstration on how to run the heat press.
b. Make sure you have removed all extra vinyl. Any little piece will show up on your shirt if you forget to weed it.
c. Be sure you have set the correct time and temperature on the heat press.
d. Know how to open the heat press when time has expired.
e. Remember everything is HOT, be careful not to touch the heat element or hot surfaces.
a. Use the page provided, and hand it in at the end of class...
b. Be sure to turn your thumbnails sketches into me for a mark and date the page.
c. Remember that your T-shirt design cannot have gradations or be a raster.
After you have completed your thumbnail page create your 3 roughs.

High school students are constantly subjected to the cultural pedagogy of media - movies, music, television, and the internet. Part of mass media's agenda of targeting the youth market involves branding - the process of developing a brand identity that the young person would associate their values with - for instance, the Mountain Dew branding effort involves "EXTREME!" and Wild! exclamations. Teenagers are often able to associate brands simply by their corporate logos - the Nike "Swoosh" or McDonald's golden arches. I would hope to enable the student's critical media literacy by having the student disassemble the concept of corporate logos and re-appropriate the idea of "logo" for themselves. Let them know that THEY have their own values, and these values and ideas could be re-interpreted as their own personal logo - empowering the student to critically reflect their own ideas onto a piece of design. Also, we would examine instances of urban and artistic re-appropriation of the idea of "logo." For instance, the urban graffiti culture has developed "tagging" - a way of indicating the graffiti artist's personal logo in their graffiti art. Also, we would look at the Hip-Hop group Public Enemy's logo - a logo which communicates their artistic identity and message, without having the problematic issues of branding. Additionally, this project would help the students learn elements of graphic design, using digital production methods. This project allows the student to see beyond their own associations of commercial branding (Nike Swoosh, Golden Arches), see what other artists have done to graphically communicate their own identity, and then develop that personal graphic symbology for themselves.

• Research - Get some ideas by searching for example movies from your genre.
• The scene you create should tell something about your story, environment, and the characters.
• Include Fictious Actors, Movie Title and Tagline that tells the name of the movie and summarizes the plot, tone or theme of a film.
• You don't have to be Rembrandt - just to do a good job.
• Your drawings will be graded using this rubric
• Xtra Credit - Draw several version of your ideas..
What's Due:You will be graded on the following items:
1) Create an outline or sketch of your poster.
2) Recreate that drawing on the computer.
3) Construct your image using all the tools you know so far.
4) Be concerned with Balance, Unity, and Color.
• Final Grade - Reflects technological proficiency, attention to detail, and QUALITY!

Duct Tape...
Please work on your manufacturing duct tape design plan.
DO NOT WASTE THE DUCT TAPE!!!
WHAT WE HAVE IS ALL YOU GET!
Those that still need to finish their wallet may do so.
Students may only use the silver duct tape located on the book shelf.
You must take your projects with you (keep in your lockers).
I found several partial projects floating around our classroom and this is unacceptable.

Remember to open up a new blank file at the same time as the tutorial, so you can follow along, creating your own for a mark! |
Duct Tape Manufacturing Project Part One
Duct Tape Design
The challenge is to design and create a useable product out of Duct Tape
To meet our objectives, you must:
1.) Come up with a useable or wearable product to be made entirely out of duct tape
2.) Create you own design or modify an existing duct tape design.
3.) Make a prototype of your design out of paper.
4.) Finally, Create your design with duct tape following you own instructions!
I have included directions for a wallet as an example that we will create together in class… Think of it as a "warm up", and a means of getting to our final goal: a reproducible duct tape product of your own design, complete with instructions.
