Exercise 3 -- Your choice: Drawing a monster or Photoshop effects
Class,
Due January 21
Well it looks like there may be some time needed to fix the technical difficulties with Adobe InDesign.
In the meantime, please choose from one of the following to work on for exercise 3:
1. Draw a Yeti (abominable snow man) in Adobe Illustrator
2. Draw another monster in Adobe Illustrator
3. Draw and abstract poster design (circa 1970)
4. Draw a "Space Poster" in Adobe Photoshop
Yes each one has a number of steps but just take your time and you will get it. I liked the Adobe Illustrator drawing tutorials.
If you find another tutorial at this site that you want to do instead, let me know and I will see if it can substitute.
I will do my best to come around and help you along on what the instructions try to get you to do. Do your best to enjoy yourself making something of your own drawing.

Exercise 2 - Music Concert Poster
Class:
Due 1/15 : Exercise 2 - A Music Concert Poster
The "poster" has been a graphic form to announce, inform, advertise, entice and generally set a tone for an event. You are going to follow the instructions in the Mr. Komar shared folder to make a poster like the one above.
You will have a chance to be creative by choosing what bands you want to appear at this "concert".
However, you will make it look just like the one above.
Later we will be more creative and open up the design but this exercise is to learn more about InDesign.
You will learn:
1. How to use the ruler
2. How to use guides
3. Polygon shapes
4. Centering text
5. Changing font type
6. Coloring shapes

Update for Exercise 17 HTML Presentation available
Class
I created a presentation for Exercise 17 to get you started!
Go to Mr. Komar Shared Folder > Quarter 2 > Exercise 17
You must follow the steps to make Apple TextEdit work correctly.
Remember, you do not HAVE to use the HTML tutorials I provided. There are hundreds of HTML tutorials on the internet. Just keep the requirements in front of you for what I want to see on the page. For example, you can go many places to see how to make a table, or a bulleted list, or a link.
