Dear Class:

The final project for Illustrator is a "Cereal Box"

The instructions are on the link. You will have the first 40 minutes of class today to do this project so I want to see a really good finished product! Use the techniques that we have used prior to this time.

This will be the exit project for Illustrator: The Cereal Box.

We will start with Photoshop and "Faces" project. This will consist of taking two pictures from the internet (NBC.com) and 'melding' them together.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Make sure the Landscape is done and you need to e-mail it to me. Make sure the file name has your name and landscape. For instance, mine would be "green-hitelandscape"

Dear Class:

I hope to quickly finish the Landscape and then you may work the rest of the class on the Bridgebuilding software. I will go over the basic construct and rudimentary parts of the program. This program can be downloaded from the Army Corps of Engineering site and the program is called "WestPoint Bridge Builder".

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

We had almost finished the manufacturing worksheet: Manufacturing Process worksheet

I would like to do one more thing before we ascend into CS3 Illustrator and that is to look at basic machine language using a short worksheet. You will have to "translate" a few bits on information on the worksheet.

If you get done early, please open CS3 Illustrator and look at the basic layout of the menu and the toolbars. We will start with a "robot".

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
