Logo Assignment

Today we will be working on a logo assignment.

Your graphic arts job is to design a logo for an election campaign for County School Superintendent. The primary campaign colors are blues, greens and turquoise colors.

The finished logo must be 300 dpi and sized at 4” x 4”, saved as a .psd file. (You will be emailing me this file on Thursday after class work).

You must incorporate this slogan on 1 of your layers: Great Schools = Great Communities

The new mac computer than Lilia did her current event report on could
be used if our school system all of a sudden got a lot of money and
replaced our current computers with the new, fast one. It would help
us by allowing us to do stuff really fast and making us more time
efficient. With that new technology, too, we would be learning about
the new and the best and we would have a good idea how this technology
would work in the future.

The new energy efficient clusters that Evan reported on could help us
in a classroom by improving our storage and reducing the amount of
energy that we use as a school. Which is always a good thing.

The new eye implants that Anna reported on could help us in a
classroom by making people who couldnt see that well able to do their
school work better.

A new material (metal) has been discovered that can boost computer
data storage compacity and save energy at the same time. Usual 20 gb
chip can now hold about 1 terabite which means there's 50 times as
much storage due to the new alloy. The new metal can withstand twice
the temperatures as the old material. Dr Jageish is the discoverer-
director of national science foundation center for advanced materials
and smart structures.

I used 5 different yearbook pictures and combined them into a collage. I used images of the 2009 Varsity volleyball team and selected ones of our three seniors, Francesca Brannon, Katrina Miller, and Iris Perry. I put a layer of pink over them and then went to Layer-Lighten. It made the pictures lighter and easier to see. I then got a volleyball icon silhouette and placed it over the collage. I lowered the opacity and went to Layer-Lighten as well. I added their names and numbers with the Text tool and gave each name a small volleyball symbol.

Face Manipulation

I started out with a picture of Allie and myself..then sectioned us out..then make it patterny and cool. Yeahhh

Brush Tool

Using different features of the Brush Tool:

First-Open Brush Palette :Window-Brushes (F5)

Interesting setting: Spacing. you can randomize size and angles by using the Shape Dynamics box. You can randomize location of shapes by using Scattering. Count setting controls the amount of dots. Dual Brush will give you a large amount of varying results. Can randomize color by using Color Dynamics. Wet Edges messes with the color too.

Creating your own brush: Create new image with transparent background. Set foreground color to black, switch to shape tool (U). Draw a shape, rasterize it (Layer-Rasterize-Shape) Select all. Go to Edit-Define Brush Preset. Choose name. You now have a new image on the Brush Tip Shape list. Can adjust Size Jitter, Scattering and Color Jitter.
