To do first:

-View actual examples of agenda covers from over the years at Lincoln, and those from other school. 

-Research designs online.

-Create 10 sketches for the agenda design.  These designs should be icon/image and font based.  Include The Lincoln High School and the year at minimum.  You can also include quotes, images and designs.  The sketches should be basic, mostly showing the placement or layout of important design elements.
-Get feedback 

-The design can be based on Lincoln, Lincoln High School or visually exciting design.  Design something you would want to use.

-Keep the 10% rule or use original photographs or drawing for your work.

-Be clever and think out of the box and off of the line.

A winner was chosen...

Thank you and your students for the designs! The email came at a perfect timing because we had a meeting yesterday afternoon and were able to vote.  Our top favorites were Madisyn Podoll, Malcolm Holliman, Ryann Swanson and McCartney. The committee wanted to go with a design that was unique and not similar to others we have had in the past and chose McCartney as this year’s t-shirt design!!

The committee was so pleased with your student’s talent and hope you would be willing to help design again next year.

Programs and Layout

Your agenda design is a tool that students can with them throughout the day.  What would be cool or interesting to you and your classmates?

Use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or both.

Dimensions: 5” wide & 8” tall

Use guidelines to create a ¼” extra space.  The area within the guideline will fit the cover.  The purpose of the “bleed area” is to accommodate the rounded corners of the agenda cover.

This is a full color design.

It should have layers to create depth.  Find texture and paint brushes online to create visual interest.

Design dimensions are as follows:

·         300 dot resolution (155 lines)

·         5” x 8” (pull in margins)

Photoshop

Let the photoshop experience flow!

Nice work on the tutorials! These tutorials are meant to help you to learn new possibilities for enhancing your text or shapes in your designs.

We today we are trying out the brush tool in Photoshop. There are a lot of interesting brushes, and many ways to change how they look.
