2020 term 3: week 1: Graphic Design 2

Happy New Year!  We are half-way through the school year already, but we are getting started with a new section of advanced graphic design.  Students will be learning the expectations for the course this week, then will be spending time coming up with an idea for a term-long project that they will be focusing on.  Advanced graphic design is exciting because students get to choose an individualized project where they design their learning based on the state standards for advanced digital design.  I'm looking forward to seeing what great ideas we have this first week!

2019 term 2: week 5: Projects & Photography

Advanced graphic design class has been working well on their projects.  Next week we will continue to work on our designs, have our weekly conferences, and work on our photography elements.  There has been a lot of progress made on our work, and I couldn't be happier with how this class is working!

2019 term 2: week 4: The grind

Students are really diving into their projects, working hard at getting their early components finished from their timelines.  It takes a lot of self-discipline and focus to work as hard as they are on their term-long projects.  There has been a lot of great work done so far in class!

2019 term 2: week 3: Project Time!

Advanced graphic design students have their proposals in, and most also have their project boards in.  We will start working on our term projects now.  The most important part, is keeping yourselves motivated, and using time productively, and I'm very impressed with what I see so far with this class!  We are going to have some awesome projects completed by the end of the term!

2019 term 2: week 2: Project planning

Advanced Graphic Design class has gotten started with their term by brainstorming ideas for their long-term projects.  Some early ideas include creating a video game, designing and printing a card game, creating a photo manipulation gallery, and more!  Some students have their early proposals in already!  We will finish up proposals and timelines next week, and will work on our project boards as well.  I like the ideas we have coming in class, and I'm excited to see the process of these projects being created!

2019 Term 2: Week 1: Welcome to Advanced Graphic Design

It's time for Advanced Graphic Design!  Students who have successfully completed digital media, and graphic design 1 can take this course.  This term, students will be working on a term-long project of their choice.  We will use the design process to put together a major project that students can take home and be proud of.  We will spend the first part of this week coming up with ideas of what we will do for our projects, and come up with a plan and schedule to follow for the term.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone Monday!

2019 term 1: week 9: Creative Designs

Graphic Design is already almost over for the first term!  Wow.  Students are finishing up their photography elements work, and will be applying an environmental design to a photograph that they took.  We will then spend next week learning to edit and manipulate photographs in a variety of creative ways.  It's been a fun term with these classes, and students have really improved and gained a lot of skills!
