Lesson 1 (01.08.01) – 12 hr

Assignment

  1. You’ve done some research and thumbnails and asked for peer feedback. Now, ask your client for their approval to develop one of your ideas. In other words, show your instructor your ideas and get approval on one to develop. 🙂
  2. Create a color scheme in Adobe Color CC and paste a screenshot of it into your Behance poster Creative Blitz project.
  3. Develop your poster in Photoshop using the graphic design principles:
    1. Graphic Design Principles Illustrated
    2. Principles of Art Illustrated
    3. CRAP Illustrated
  4. Put a screenshot of your final poster into your Behance Poster Creative Blitz project. Write text to explain your design choices and how you created your poster. Use the graphic design terms from the principles above to show you know the vocabulary of this field.
  5. Put screenshots of the Photoshop file on Behance. Share it in color and in black and white. Also share it in small, medium, and large sizes to show that it scales well.
  6. In Behance, provide the RGB codes for the color scheme you actually used– if you changed from the ones you posted in Behance previously, go back to the Adobe Color CC tool and choose “Custom” and enter the RGB or Hex codes of the colors you actually used. Here’s how to find out what the RGB and Hex codes are by clicking on items in your Photoshop file: https://screencast.com/t/zxOzXXZJo
  7. Make a 1- 3 minute IShowU or Jing video explaining your design choices and process.
  8. Print the Poster Rubric and do the self evaluation.
  9. Payday–Schedule a time for final review/delivery/payment from the client, the Pixar executive (ah-hem, your instructor, lol), and submit your work for a Quack Award.
