Students finished their Soccer ads. We have Monday off. I’m planning to do a critique of the student work that was finished. For my larger groups, have about 4-5 students come up at a time to look at the work. They are pretty honest about what they like and don’t like. I agree with them and make some additional comments. I think next time I’m going to give them a direct critique of their own work instead of having them pick out the ones they like.
Then the rest of the week students will work on a poster design for lacrosse. That includes making a mood board. I want to go over some really basic typography terms. There is a fun game I have students play called I shot the serif. Then I’m going to have them learn how to install fonts as a bellringer.
I’m probably going to give the students a couple of weeks. I’d like my higher students to try and add the game schedule, but we’ll see. Might be too much. I’m also having a contest for a gift card to itunes for the best design. I’m going to have my students in my animation classes vote on it.
