//www.ipswich.k12.sd.us/apps/classes/998330/assignments/ Class Name: Digital Photography 20-21 Instructor(s): Angela Shimitz en-us SchoolSitePro //www.ipswich.k12.sd.us/homeworkItem6570479 //www.ipswich.k12.sd.us/apps/classes/998330/assignments/ How to create calendar: You may use word, excel, or any other tool you find on the computer to create a calendar. Please Google or look at a 2021 calendar so the dates are accurate! I will check this. You can make it personal, and type holidays, people’s birthdays, etc . on the dates. Choose whatever font and color you want for the months. Please make sure it is legible. If you would like to put smaller photos on the calendar part, you may do so.
You need a NEW picture for each month. Please choose a theme for your calendar. This can be personal, or one subject. Examples are, but not limited to: portraits, family, black and white, landscape, etc. Each photo should be edited, and look professional. You can also use collage tools on Ipiccy if you want more than one image on a month. Your pictures will need to be ALL vertical or ALL horizontal.
Put together—punch holes and bind using yarn, fabric, string, etc. so it is functional. You can laminate, put in clear sleeves, or mount on thicker paper for durability. You will need to provide any sleeves or paper to mount on. Hobby Lobby has a very good selection. I do have white tagboard and construction paper if you want to use that.
That is the bare minimum of what you need to do. You can also add additional photos on month part of each month. The small photo should coincide (go with) large photo.
‌
Your calendar can be personal to you (each picturing coordinating with that month) or can be themed (nature, outdoor, farm, landscape, flowers, food, etc.).
You will be graded with a rubric and will be graded on these criteria (25 pts each):
• Creativity
• Continuity (how it flows together)
• Use of background/background colors
• Clarity of photos
• Color of photos
• Correctness of calendar (correct dates, etc. Holidays placed on correct days)
• Craftsmanship/Creativity of calendar as whole (Presentation)
This project will be worth 175 pts! They are due at the END of class on Monday, and you will present them to the class on Tuesday.

You need to design a magazine cover using Pixlr, Ipiccy, or Picmonkey.
You must have:

1. A background
2. A cover photo of your partner
3. A Title
4. Several story line titles
5. Issue date
6. Issue price
7. web site address
8. UPC symbol (6-8 are e.c.)
Your magazine cover will be graded on if you included the above elements, how you carry out Unity in your magazine cover, use of color, and photo itself.
Unity can be achieved by carrying out a common theme in the type styles, photos, story titles and descriptions. Do all the parts work together?
Think about readability, can you read the type against the background? Is the type style readable? Are the sentences too long? Are the titles descriptive enough to make you know what the article is about? Does the type size signify the importance?
Does the photo or photos support the theme? Does the photo catch your eye? Is it too busy or too simple?
How is your effort and craftsmanship? You will need to be selecting, cutting, pasting and cropping. Does your cover look professionally neat?
Layout, how did you arrange all the elements? Is the type all lined up flush left, right, centered? Is the type over the picture or a background? Did you add a banner with the issue date, web site, and cost? Does the layout make it easy to read or confusing?

The campaign should include one movie poster (like you would see up in the theaters), one billboard, and one advertisement (like you would see in a magazine, and it must be different from your poster). You must take at least three different photos.

Choose a movie you would like to make a campaign for. This could be a very old movie, or a newer movie.
Come up with your photos/designs. I want you to make a preliminary list of the pictures you would like to take, props/outfits that you would need, color schemes, slogans, etc. You may need to look at examples and research what is all included on a movie poster, billboard, and advertisement. You will be turning this into me for daily points.
Take pictures—you can have a classmate pose, or you can take these pictures outside of class time. Choose a surrounding you would like to use, or a blank wall. This could be a “green screen,” and you may put your people in surroundings or pictures that you already have, or find on the internet.
Create your poster, advertisement, and billboard. Think of what wording needs to be included, and choose correct fonts, colors, etc. Also, be thinking about composition and balance. Think about paper orientation. Should it be vertical, horizontal, etc.?
Upload all three to Classroom.
*You will be graded on creativity, composition, use of photograph, use of wording/slogan, color, and craftsmanship. This will be for a total of 180 points.

Objective: Students will create a cohesive advertisement campaign creating 4 advertisement designs. Two photos will be designed for billboards, and two photos will be designed for a magazine advertisement. This will be due Monday, at the end of class. You will be presenting these to the class.
Step 1: Choose a product that you would like to do an advertisement campaign for. Ideas are, but are not limited to: food, makeup, fragrance, clothing brand, jewelry line, pop, energy drink, etc. Please be creative with this!
Step 2: Look at examples of billboards and magazine ads online to get ideas for dos and don’ts.
Step 3: Choose an overall theme or slogan for your campaign. This could be something completely new, or you could choose a slogan that the brand has used over time (ex, McDonald’s, “I’m lovin’ it.”) You need to think of a way to cohesively unite all of the pictures, whether that be through same theme, style, color scheme, font, editing, etc. You may want to do all, or some of these things.
Step 4: Take your pictures. You may do this inside, or outside of class. IF you do it inside, I want you to set up a detailed set, and not just take pictures on a table. Think of props, people, backdrops, etc. These pictures need to be highly edited, so don’t leave everything to the last minute.
Step 5: Edit your pictures. I should easily be able to tell what pictures are for the billboard, and what pictures are for the ad. You will have to do a lot of editing, and cut out backgrounds, or add solid color, etc. The magazine ad should have more text than the billboard. Think about appropriate font, text, and color scheme for what you are trying to sell. You will have to explain your choices when you present these.
Step 6: Upload ALL FOUR pictures to Classroom. Print your top picture. You will be presenting these to the class and going over your overall theme and what you were trying to achieve.
*You will be graded on all four photos (color/clarity, composition), creativity (slogan), use of words/text (format, font, etc), overall composition, and color. This will be worth 100 points. YOU WILL RECEIVE LATE POINTS IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS! EVERYONE WILL BE PRESENTING THEIR PROJECT.
