P4 Graphic Design-2B-1157/04 (P4 12:15-1:35PM) Assignments

Instructor
Chad Lawson
Term
Semester 1 2020
Description
I like to look at Graphic Design as art with a purpose. Many of us have already used graphic design on our own day to day lives. If you have ever re-designed a room, looked at a logo and made a connection, or looked at storybooks without reading the words and were able to tell what was going on...you have been using a lot of the skills that we are going to explore and develop in this class. We are going to take a critical look at things such as movie posters, logos, advertising, cartoons, illustrations, and even tattooing! This class will run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, during 4th period (P4 12:15-1:35 PM). During this time I will be available to assist you via Google Meet from a link that can be found by accessing this Google Classroom.

Making the Grade (32 points) in Google Classroom

Making the Grade (32 points)

Your assignment for this week will be to make a test for the class where you are checking to see if we have met our LEARNING TARGET:

I can describe the rules of framing and define why or how they are used to tell a story in a frame.

How you can go about that is up to you!

You can use edpuzzle.com, create a quiz on Google Forms, use Google Draw, use Google Doc where you ask questions, or any other idea you can come up with!

REMEMBER: the main thing that we are looking for is knowledge, not dictionary terms; don't ask WHAT something is, instead ask HOW or WHY.

Some Suggestions:

- Put a movie trailer on edpuzzle, and pause to ask how or why questions

- Use Google Draw to annotate some images incorrectly, and have students explain how or why the annotations are not correct.

- Put an broken rules series together where you break each of the rules, and then have students explain how and why the rules are broken.

- Include a frame, and create a survey in google forms where you have a multiple choice question where you have 4-5 choices of mood that the frame may convey, then have the student explain their answer in a second frame.

- Create a section of a Jeopardy style game. For example, focus on Depth, and then create 5 questions from easy to hard that all tie into that category (without naming the rule of framing; in this case it would be Depth). You don't need to create the WHOLE gameboard, just the leading, or overall question, with 5 more that get harder and harder.

You will not only need to have the questions, but you will need to provide an answer key.

As a reminder, here is a list of rules of framing:

1. Rule of Thirds
2. Symmetry or Balance
3. Head-Room / Leading-Room
4. Leading Lines
5. Size = Power
6. Depth
7. Know how and why to break the rules!

Attach your final test or a link to it by the end of this week (Friday, October 9).

|Quiz| Personality Traits in Google Classroom

|Quiz| Personality Traits

The Design and Media world has a lot to do with not just art, but perception, and personality. Understanding who we are, and what drives us is important because the more we can understand ourselves and why we do the things we do, the more we can understand others. That...and it's just kind of fun to see what results we get.

Take the personality trait test and post your results in the comments below.

I am an INFP-T (Mediator) by the way. ^_^

SC: I can demonstrate this by creating or sharing an image that utilizes some of the the 7 rules of framing and define which ones the image utilizes.

Instructions: Go for a walk! Take your cellphone, a camera, or device that you can take a digital photo on, and look around the environment, then snap some images that you find interesting. Make use of the 7 rules of framing to "tell a story" or make your image more interesting. Spend about 15-20 minutes each day, and take several photos or save several images too your google drive. Then share at least 3 images on the class jamboard for others in our class to see (make sure to initial your work). On Thursday, we will go over the images in our google meet and review the 7 Rules of Framing as we investigate and annotate a few class samples. After that, you will need to analyze and annotate two additional class photos. Remember, that all of the images need to be school appropriate!

What you will need:
-access to a camera (phone, Chromebook, iPad, etc. etc.) or e-device with a web browser
-15-20 minutes of time to search for images, or take digital photos (I'd prefer that you take your own pictures)
