Holiday CD Design

Using InDesign create a Holiday CD Booklet. This project is due next Tuesday.
You are to include at least one text wrap around feature, and one gradient somehow. Also, use a color scheme of  your choice using Pantone Colors. Use no more than two or three different fonts.

Surrealist Collage Using Photoshop

View Maggie Taylor and Diane Fenster Websites for inspiration and then create a collage using at least seven Images. The over all effect should be that of a surreal image.

Once you have your images selected, you may bring them into Photoshop, and place each on their own layer. Then, I would like you to use several of the features in Photoshop to creatively manipulate them.

The over all size of your document should be a standard letter size. However, if you would like to make it tabloid size that would be fine too.

This project will be due next Tuesday at the beginning of the class for an on screen presentation. You should also be prepared to tell your audiance what tools you used to create the over all image.

Pen Grid Project

The third grid project should be a repeating project also, but using the pen tool. Create a one inch grid using the rulers and glides like you did in the first two project, but with the third grid you are to use the pen tool to create a design using the pen tool.

The document should still be within a 81/2" x 11" document and filled with various black shapes that fit within the guild layouts.

This project along with the other two grid project is to be printed out and enclosed in a plastic protector sheet and is due the first of the class on Tuesday of next week.
