BDP-Week 9-10
The website is going under a major overhaul. What started as just a template change, since a recent update broke our portfolio pages, it turned into a redo, costing much time and effort to reinstate it. Hence the lack of website information this week as I mentioned in class.
The classroom also had a major overhaul, including the updated software we had earlier this moth, to the rearrangement of the desks to accommodate everyone into groups. Previously we had scattered tables along the outskirts of the room, breaking up individual students who probably felt out of place. The newly formed ORANGE group is now part of the team! YAY!
We had a great week with the kickoff of Ansel Adams week! It will actually be a two week span for Ansel Adams, as we will be taking a break from the challenges this week to complete our quarter project. Challenge 05: The Ansel Zone will be due NEXT week (Thursday of course). We will be working on the Fractured Photo Project in class, so BRING YOUR FRACTURED PHOTOS on Thursday this week to learn how to create your layout in InDesign.
If you have any questions, use the comment section at the bottom or send me an email. I will try to answer each as quickly as possible.
