Craft:

Use iWeb to create our own websites. We needed to make 5 different pages that displays all of the projects we completed in class throughout the year.

Week 13

Assignment:

Finalize our comic on the comic life program.

Craft:

We used the comic life program to finish our final draft. We discussed what colors to use to create the mood and the shapes of our comic pictures. we needed to make our more obvious pictures stand out so we made them larger and made less pictures on one page so that it would be longer.

Composition:

these photos were easy to tell the story of what we wanted to accomplish. the pictures easily portray the moral of the story and the lack of words make it more of a comic . the photos are good because the comic really doesnt need any sort of dialogue to give off the actual story.

Concept:

we are trying to show how a man leaves his wife and son to go to the war oversea. she awaits his arrival and all she recieves is a flag stated that her husband died in battle. it is a sad story but an easy comic to figure out.

Week 12

Assignment:

To create a comic that tells o story of who is traveling , who is bringing a package, and who is recieving a package. 

Craft:

We first used photoshop to create a series of 9-12 photos relating to our story. After we cropped the size and came up with the color , we needed to convert them to the comic life program. we used comic life to create a series of comics that we thought best suited our story. on monday, we voted as a class which comic needed the least amount of corrections made, and also gave constructive criticism on other classmates comics.

Composition: 

We chose the photos we did because we believed it would be easy to read. the story is simple with a twist ending and we believed that the photos could make a easily readable comic.

Concept:

We are trying to show a sad mood with our colors. also we chose colors that would stand out against each other. our classmates eyes were easily drawn to the bright orange color and we got good reviews.

Week 11

Assignment: Work on Comic. Two colors and using comic life to make our final copies.

Craft: We critiqued our comics in the drawing room. Then we told each other constructive criticism on what we believed needed work and what else we could add. Today we will learn how to use the comic life program.

Composition: We chose these photos as our best because they portray the comic image and the colors match very well together.

Concept:

We are trying to show a sad comic that is very easy to determine what is happening. we are having a competition to see whose is best so that we do not have to come to class next weekend.

Week 10

Assignment:

 12 slide comic book telling a story with one person waiting, one delivering a package, and one person traveling.

Craft:

We used photoshop to create these pictures for the comic. we took about 15 pictures and chose which ones to use. then we decided what style or filter to use to make our pictures more realistic as a comic. once we found out what to use, we decided on the color purple as our back ground because it gave a sad mood. as a class we passed our stories around and gathered comments on what to make better in our stories.

Composition:

We chose these photos as our best because it was easy to determine what we were trying to say. we only took about 15 photos so only about 3 had to be eliminated. The photos that had the strongest meaning were the ones that we decided to use.

Concept:

We are trying to tell a story about a soldier that went oversea to fight in a war. he left behind his son and his fiance. she was waiting anxiously for his return and talked to him on the computer. one day an officer showed up with his dog tags and a folded flag and told her that he had died in battle.

Week 9

Assignment:

Work on Comic Books

Critique:

Use light room to make our photos.  We used the filter bar to figure out which style we wanted to use. We wanted to use poster edges/ halftone pattern because it looks most like a cartoon.

Composition:
