Oh, what a spooky and kooky day!

Today we will have a quick and dirty halloween poster design contest! You will assemble this project during one period. At the end of class your project should be complete....remember, quick and dirty. 

Your poster will need to be halloween themed, and should some or all  the following text: 
Happy Halloween Glacier High School October 31 2011

I have collected some various resources you can use in your poster design. Drag the HalloweenStuff folder on the server to your desktop. Do not open these files directly from the server.  You may use these resources in your project.  Some of the resources are fonts to install, others are brushes, while others are vector files that can be scaled, re colored, or manipulated any way you can.

Project Specifications:  Create a "letter" size project (8.5x11) that is web resolution (72dpi)

In your logo project you will utilize principles of gestalt in your design. Review the slideshow below to learn more about gestalt.

Today you will create a blog post to show the progress you have made during the last week. Many of you will have made great progress since last week and others may be finished with their vector self portrait. 

To share what you have accomplished, turn the layer with your photo off and then take a screen shot of your project at this point. Screen shots are made by holding Shift, Command (or Apple) and 4. Then simply click and drag to select the image you want.  Screenshots will show up on your desktop.

Create a post at the beginning of the period. Write about what aspects of your project are most successful. Then write about what is causing you the most grief.  What will you work on next week? 

At the end of the period you will visit blogs of your classmates to see what they have been working on. Write a comment on two blogs. You will write a comment on the blog from today. Look for something that can be improved  on the project and also write about something that you feel is done well. Explain why you feel the way you do.  

OTHER REMINDERS:
Check your grades! If you have any assignments that are marked "late" or if you have an "F" for any project, turn that project in! After you turn in any late projects you need to send an email to glacierhighart at gmail dot com.
