WEDNESDAY 1-18
Step 1. Check your neighbors work.  Does their book have a title page and six additional pages all containing the name of the animal in 36 pt Helvetica bold, a pic of the animal and the researched information.  Consider adding graphic elements (ruled lines, borders and shapes) to enhance your design.  You will have a total of 7 pages.

Step 2.    If you finish your book and have time remaining. Open a new document in indesign and name it last-first-collage.  Make a collage of your animal pics on a single right hand page to practice working with indesign images.  Dont't  forget to embed the images.  Submit a screenshot as last-first-indesign.  It would look something like this:



WEDNESDAY 1-11
Adobe Indesign

Step 1:  Number pages 1 - 6  Make the number to the left and right at the bottom of the page in 12 pt helvetica bold.

2. Make pg 1 the title page: Title by your name. The title is The Book of  Mammals.
3.  Make a sub heading for the first mammal which will be an elephant. Type is 36 pt Helvetica bold.

At this point we will work with images together.  Copy the elephant to your desktop.

4. Provide some information about the elephant. The type must be 12 pt helvetica, flush left. It will go below the the image. To get the information, answer the following questions:

  • In your own words describe the animal.
  • Where in the world does the animal live?
  • What is the gestation period of this mammal?
  • What are this animals natural preditors?
  • Is this animal in danger of extinction?
  • An additional interesting fact.


example:
An elephant is a large intelligent mammal with tusks and big ears that roams the grasslands.  Many elephants live in Africa. The gestation period for the African Elephant is a very long 22 months, just short of two years. The elephants most dangerous preditor are humans.  People kill them for their ivory tusks. The elephant is in danger of extinction because they are hunted by man. An African Elephant can weigh more than six tons. That's more than 12000 pounds.  That's a big mammal.

Repeat the process 6 times.  You will have a total of 7 pages.

Don't forget to embed your images.

Working with Indesign images - A bit different than in PhotoShop

1.   there is the SelectionTool(black) and the Direct Selection Tool.(white)

2.  Make frame according to size and placement.

3. Place the image.

4. Size and move  the image to fit the frame using the Direct Selection “becomes the hand” tool

5. Double click to finish and it goes to the Selection tool.  Drag the anchors to crop. Place the arrow inside the box to move both image and widow together.

NOTE: The direct selection tool will work as a direct selection tool does for paths if you select individual anchors.  Also the free transform button works on either the frame or the image.

*** Just remember - 
Direct selection activates the image and moves the image within the frame.

Selection activates the frame and moves the image and frame together

2. Watch your imovie with a partner. Paying special attention to legibility, sound and timing, listen to your partner's critique.  As a goog doc write the name of your partner, first and last and the critique they give you. One or two good  sentences will do.  

Example: My partners name was Bill Smith.  He said that I had some spelling errors to fix and that many of the title clips were too fast to read. The music was uneven: First it was loud and then it was soft and it ended suddenly instead of fading out.  Also my movie had no proper ending.

Now switch roles and do the critique for your partner and they can report via google doc. Share your goog doc critiques as first-last-critique

12. What is your career goal?  If you are not sure, try to think of one job that you might like to try.

Note: Did you know my niece Rosie Katz (Wrede) That's my big brother's daughter, she worked on the team that made a famous game you all know - It's called Call of Duty.  You can see her resume here if you want.  CLICK HERE. She went to Prospect high school.  Now she is a mom and teaches  at Cogswell College.  If you are into making video games, maybe you could take her class some day.

13. 2nd to last question: Think about this one for a minute. What are the things that make school hard for you?  Example: Maybe you don't have a quiet place or time to do your homework.  Maybe you get stuck and don't feel like you can get help.  Maybe you are lazy and need to become more disciplined.  Answer truthfully.
14.  Okay, last question: What can you do to make school a positive meaningful experience?  How can you get the most out of school?

STEP 2
This is a great time to see just what you recall from last year.
•  Make a business card. It can say whatever you like and can have any information but the dimensions must be correct.  Any body remember????  A business card is 3.5 x 2 inches.
• Make a short imovie.  You remember the routine:
Introduction, content and end.  text clips, images, sound and transitions.  Pic any theme you like.  If you need inspiration, call it.  My Summer Adventures.

See you Monday.
