Movie Posters and Design
1) Create a poster using your "natural eye"
- Look up the traditional size of a movie poster
- For this project we'll be using a size of 20x32
- You can use whatever images are appropriate for your movie, but try to create a poster that is a totally different design than the one's used in the original posters.
- Be sure your design emphasizes the important things that you want to communicate about the move.

Next assignment- Find a (CCS-appropriate) video podcast. Follow the tutorial and post your results here. Be sure to also post a 1/2 page report answering the following questions:

1. What's the name and episode of the video podcast
2. What did you like about the podcast? What did you not like?
3. How did it compare to other photoshop podcasts?
4. List 2-3 other photoshop podcasts that you could use to keep up on photoshop skills.
5. Can you find a good podcast for these topics? List them if you can. Maya, Illustrator, Graphic Design. Programming. Look for podcasts with tutorials and walk-troughs.

To get ourselves back into Photoshop, we'll be completing a few tutorials over the next two days.

You'll pick 6 of the tutorials to do over the next 2 days. Post your images as a comment to this post. All your work is due by the end of class Friday.
When you finish you can watch this weeks episode on PhotoshopUserTV. Remember, no games, only work for this class or another class.

Here's the syllabus and information form. Don't forget, the form and your USB drive are due on Monday 8/27.

Your last assignment is to create a self-portrait in the style above. Grab or take a picture of your self, and use that as a template as you place the letters. This will look best if you pick a more standard, yet classy font.

This assignment is based off of the Chrisitianity & Culture discussion/ paper we completed in Computer 2.

You will create 2 t-shirt designs:
- 1 original design for the cheesiest christian shirt (an example of what's wrong in Christian t-shirt design)

- 1 original design for a classy, creative, and truly God-honoring design. (how the shirts should be)
Remember, there is a definite difference between cheesiness and blasphemy.
I'm also looking for designs that showcase your design and technology skills.

You will complete the following during the week of 4/21-4/25, and have the projects ready to grade on Monday, 4/28:

1) Energy Drink Project - Monday & Tuesday are considered "work days" for the project, but it will not be turned in until 4/28
