For your final presentation to the class you may use Power Point or InDesign to present the projects you have created over the semester. I would also like a copy of your final presentation in a CD that I will keep. You should also print out all of your projects and place them into a one inch black blinder that you will pass around to the class but will keep for your records.
Of all of the quotes you have made over the semester, you only need to present six of the best to include in your final. You must include the following assignments:
The three different grids
The line project
Shapes project
Self Portrait
Illustrator Collage
Photoshop Collage
InDesign News Letter
Color Matters Project
If you have created another project that you are pleased with but that is not on the list do include it.
The Final starts at 7:15 and because we do not have much time please be on time and limit your presentation to no more than five minutes.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Create a Flip Book
Come up with a concept for your flip book where you move your audience from one frame to another and evolve your idea visually.
You may use any program you choose or even a combination of software to make your project. If you use InDesign you may use the Step and Repeat feature I showed you in class to lay out your booklet.
There are many great website that show your how to create a flip-book with instructions and what explain what materials you will need. It should be at least fifty pages or enough to showcase your concept.
I will talk more about the binding on Monday in class.
This project will be due at the time of our Final.

Color Matters Indesign Project
For this assignment you will be creating in InDesign, you will be creating a tweleve page booklet about color. In this document I want its content to be all about color using some of the images you made in Illustrator and others you will design in InDesign. Please go to the website http://www.colormatters.com for the main content for your document. I will be giving you al of the requirements of the various features in InDesign I want you to use. To start with create the look and feel of your booklet using Master Pages and set up your numbering pages. I will go over the requirements in class as well.
Tints, Tones and Shades: These terms are often used inappropriately but
they describe fairly simple color concepts. The important thing to remember is
how the color varies from its original hue. If white is added to a color, the
lighter version is called a "tint". If the color is made darker by
adding black, the result is called a "shade". And if gray is added,
each gradation gives you a different "tone."
Tints
(adding white to a pure hue)
Shades
(adding black to a pure hue)
Tones
(adding gray to a pure hue)
Complementary Colors: When two or more colors "go together,"
they are said to be "complementary." This is completely subjective
and open to interpretation and differences in opinion.
Primary Colors: This definition really depends on what type of
medium of color we are using. The colors that are seen when sunlight is split
by a prism are sometimes called the spectral
colors. These are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These
ROYGBIV colors are often reduced to three "red, green, and
blue-violet" which are the primary colors for the additive color system
(light). The primary colors for the subtractive color system (paint/pigment)
are "cyan, magenta and yellow." Notice that "red, yellow and
blue" should never be used as the combination for color primaries!
RGB, CMYK: Make a color wheel for each of the two kinds of color wheels. Also explain what the differences are.
You may also want to include a glossary of color terms in one or two of your pages.
