January 14, 15, 16 and 20

January 14, 15, and 16:

Students worked on illustrating one principle of design that we examined. See assignment guidelines below:

•Create a 15.5” X 10.5” photoshop document with your partner and illustrate the principle of design that you’ve been assigned. Use the handout to help you.

•Write a half page(minimum) that explains how you’ve illustrated the principle.

•Cut out, or identify examples of the principle in the magazine (s) you’ve brought and attach to half page of writing.

•Spread should be unified (about one thing) and have headlines and captions (captions can be jibber-jabber). Include more than one headline.

•Use quality pictures! Blurry ones will cost you.

•

Finished examples should have been turned in by now.

January 20: Students will create a mock 2 page spread that commemorates the inauguration.
