It is a critical soft skill to give presentations in the workforce. We will start with making a presentation on something you feel confident presenting before, eventually, giving a design-related presentation.
Presentation must use 4 slides.
Presentation must communicate your choice for the "best movie of all time."
Presentation must include movie details (release date, main cast, director & writer).
Presentation must address WHY you picked this movie (i.e. emotional connection, production value, etc).
Your presentation will be shown on the classroom TV and you will use the class 2-in-1 tablet to navigate your slides.
Treat this like your personal TEDTalk. Don't read the presentation. Give the presentation!

In the cafeteria lobby, there exists three display cases for the following:
Band
Chorus
Drama
Our classes have been asked to update the vinyl display used on the panels of these cases.
This is an opportunity to reimagine the design, rather than recreate the same old thing.

Each panel is 35.5" wide by 32" tall.
The green gutters between each panel are 2" wide.
Our vinyl cutter can cut single pieces at most 22.5" wide (or tall if it is rotated).
Please submit your ideas to this assignment using .ai files.

Many of our Greenbrier athletic teams use business sponsorships for fundraising. We may the signs in our class.

For this assignment:
Choose a logo from a business (major corporation or local business).
Convert the logo into a positive and negative space image using Illustrator.
Create an artboard for the sponsorship sign.
Attach your final .ai file to this assignment.
Job Parameters:
The signs (artboards) measure 24" wide by 18" tall.
Use a locked green rectangle to resemble the green aluminum sign.
Allow for a 1" margin on all sides to give room for grommets and holes in the sign.
Create a positive/negative space image for the logo using no stroke and a white fill.

Use Photoshop (or Photopea if you are working from home) to construct a social media mockup for Instagram.

Open Photoshop (or an free .io equivalent like Photopea)
Watch the video. Pause when needed so you can follow each step. (Make sure to choose between Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.)
Submit your final mockup as an attachment to this assignment and mark as "Turned In."

After learning the process of Color Separation from Coach Curtis, please complete the following:

Choose a logo of no more than 4 colors. Use Photoshop to create separate color layers using the color separation method shown in class.

Attach your layers as PNG files to this assignment. Attachments should include:
A PNG of the original logo.

For this project, you will create a vinyl sign using Adobe Illustrator to highlight a quote of particular significance to you. The quote can come from any source (i.e. religious, pop culture, etc) but please make sure it is school appropriate. Make sure to give credit to who authored the quote if it can be found.
Your design will use an artboard of 18" by 12" with a 0.75" margin around the edges. (Do a little math to figure out what space you can actually use! Remember, the margin is on all sides.)
Your design will consist of negative space in a single color rectangle of vinyl.
Consider the following principles of design as you work: Balance, Proportion, Typography.
Attach your Illustrator file to this assignment. Once your design is created, we will cut the designs from vinyl, weed the design, tape the design, and apply the design to your sign.
