Graphics 1 - Finish up SHINY RETRO TEXT EFFECT, but use your own name. Text Effects are used a lot in print and web and for the most part they are relatively easy. I will be assigning one more on WEDNESDAY before we move on.
Graphics 2 - WORKDAY: This project requires us to do a TECHNICAL DRAWING. The idea here is that we create a graphic that is so geometrically perfect that it looks REAL. This is achieved through PRECISION, LIGHTING, and TEXTURE. Click HERE for your next project. HINT: I prefer to do STEPS 1-4 in ILLUSTRATOR.
Multimedia 1 - Work on editing your Commercial together. Remember, companies pay a lot of money for those 30 second endorsements of their projects, so take time and make it CLEAN and PROFESSIONAL. You must have a clear BEGINNING, MIDDLE, & ENDING with Your TAGLINE and LOGO appearing before the end of the commercial.

Day 37 - Monday 11.5.2012
Graphics 1 - Today, we start on the COFFEE CUP ICON. This project will show us how to use Photoshop's built in VECTOR tools even though it is not a VECTOR program like ILLUSTRATOR.

Take a look at the video below for help with the first set of steps.
