Redesign Menu

    Eighth Graders continued to learn about redesigning on a grid by choosing their favorite restaurant menu and redesigning it.  They considered different formats and how to align their columns and rows to create a visually appealling menu that would be easy for people to read and attract people to the restaurant.  Check out the new and improved menus below!

Let's Get Punny!!

Second quarter Photoshop made some visual puns by brainstorming ideas that were creative and humorous. After that, the students used many skills to prepare for a more advanced morphing project  to blend multiple images together, creating the desired effect. Hope we make you chuckle......

Morphing with Cartoons

I wanted to change up the morphing project and decided to combine it with the juxtaposition project. Students had to morph together THREE cartooned images into a real photograph. This created the element of surprise found in juxtaposition. We hope we make you do a double take. Can you figure out what is cartoon and what is real in the images? Morphing their cartoon images with a realistic scene made for a new creative, interesting mage. Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that changes (or morphs) one image into another through a seamless transition. Most often it is used to depict one person turning into another through technological means or as part of a fantasy or surreal sequence. Traditionally such a depiction would be achieved through cross-fading techniques on film. Since the early 1990s, this has been replaced by computer software to create more realistic transitions. 

Steppin' this Fall in STYLE!

In the American culture the sneaker is an icon. Famous sports players have shoes designed just for them. So, to introduce students to layers, brushes, patterns, and fills in Photoshop, students had the opportunity to design their own unique tennis shoe. They were quite creative! They each attempted a UnderArmour and a Nike shoe. Each requires applying colors differently. Click on any shoe to see it enlarged.
