March 5, 2008 - NEW PROJECT! --- a fun one I trust. You are to make a presentation (i.e., PowerPoint-type presentation) of 8-12 slides. Directions and samples are below (right-click to download). Later we will put them in web-ready format.
YOUR PRESENTATION TOPIC may be any of the following: My Family; My Awesome Friends; My World & Welcome To It; My Favorite Things.
REQUIREMENTS: 8-12 slides; must use several CALLOUTS of different shapes and sizes (see instruction presentation and handout); must use several backgrounds including PICTURES as backgrounds, COLORS as backgrounds, and a GRADIENT, HATCING and/or BITMAP background. Use pictures and text on most pages; use a couple transitions. If you can set it to automatically change slides after so many seconds, if you can use sound, if you can use animations, if you can use a picture with a transparent background, etc. -- so much the better!
DON'T RUSH! – look at the samples first, then the instructions, and then try things. Remember the first rules of computing!!! Make a directory (folder) for your project and its pictures; you don't “HAVE” to, but it's best to keep everything in one folder and its sub-directories. (A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.)
SAMPLES: Titus' Presentation Dan's Presentation

February 7, 2008 – today you will download this file and make it look like this: You WILL have a TRANSPARENT background, so that if you place the E over a colored background or an image, ONLY the red E shows up with NO white box around it--!! :-D |

December 6, 2007
Classwork: download these pictures and edit them for a webpage. Save them under a new name such as “soccer1edited,” etc. Remember the rules!
file size: 20-50 KB
crop for best look (if necessary)
experiment with the GAMMA function, brightness, contrast, colors, sharpness, etc.
experiment with the special effects filters; you may use them on one picture for your final copy
one or two pictures may not be workable – this is INTENTIONAL on my part...YOU find the one(s) that are not fit for publication
YOU make it look best to YOUR artistic eye!
this WILL be graded
you have two (maybe three) classes for this, then it becomes homework
Here are the pictures. To download, right-click and choose “save link as.” Keep all your work in one folder.
