Term 3
Ben-Day Dot Photo
Our first assignment that we began in Term 2 but was not completed until Term 3 was a Ben-Day dot self portrait. We were to create a self portrait in Adobe Illustrator, and then add in the dots such as in the style of Roy Lichtenstein. I used the pen tool as well as the swatch panel throughout the project in order to create the background and my skin tone. I used different styles of lines in order to create sharp contrast in my hair, eyes, and eyebrows.
Comedy Night Poster
A fundraiser was being held at school so we were asked, by George Austin of the Spectator, to create a poster for the comedy night they were hosting. We were given a back story on all three of the comedians and allowed to create the poster on our own will. I used a picture of all three of the comedians and added what I felt was the most important info about them to create a slight biography about them.I used the rectangle tool in Adobe Illustrator to create the background. I then added some information about what would happen at the event as well as putting in a small picture of a microphone saying comedy night.
SBRHS PTO BANNER
After I had finished the Comedy Night poster Mr.Adams had been asked me to design a poster for the PTO with certain design sizes and logos that the head of the PTO requested. I created the poster with the letters centered in the middle as well as two SBRHS Raider logo on either side of the banner. I used the rectangle tool to create a white background for the banner as well. I then printed it out for the head of the PTO and they have actually used it at several school functions.
CIA T-Shirt Design
One of our last projects for term 3 was to create a two sided T-Shirt design for the Curriculum Instruction Assessment Team for the school department. We met with the Director of Curriculum, Mrs.Haskell, within the Somerset School district and she provided us mostly free reign with how we wanted to design the T-Shirt. On the back side of the T-Shirt I created logos for the three elementary schools in town as well as used the Raider logo because the middle school and the high school is the Raider. I also included a plan of theres which is community engagement. In the grey circle I also put some of the plans they plan to institute in town. Then on the front side of the shirt I created a badge with the abbreviation for the group, which is CIA. Again used the Raider logo in the badge and incorporated the ideal of the team which is 21st century learning at the bottom of that side of the shirt.
3D Printing
Our second to last project of Term 3 was to design a 3D object for a key chain. My girlfriend is a big fan of Harry Potter, so I decided to create a Harry Potter style wand to make into a key chain. I used the crystal tool and a cylinder tool to help create the body then I used the hole tool in tinker cad to make the hole to go through a key chain. I then used the text tool and raised the text so that it could be seen above the body of the wand.
Second Ben-Day Assignment
The last assignment for Term 3 was to create a Ben-Day of a celebrity, or an animal or an album cover. I decided to create a Ben-Day photo of one of my favorite rappers, Eminem. I used a photo of him as template and drew each facial feature and clothes and hair separately in order to make the drawing all come together in the end. I then made the Ben-Day dots using a single dot inside of a box in order to use the dots on Eminem's skin as well as his clothing. In order to match the photo even further I created the chain Eminem was wearing in the photo as well.
