Dear Class:

We will finish the Landscape today. We will be working on the final three layers; the trees, roads, and hills. We will work with tints, hopefully, and more gradients and a huge emphasis on the pen tool. At the end of this in class activity, you need to e-mail the three tutorials we worked on (or share the three with me on ddhspages)that consist of the robot, the globe, and the landscape to me. Make sure the file names have your name on them. For instance, mine would be "green-hitelandscape"

I want you to do a tutorial on your own at: http://www.clippingimages.com/blog/2892tropical-transparency/

We will probably get to the exit project: The Cereal Box.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

Today we will do the "Landscape". This will entail gathering specific "Colors", using the Rotate tool, Paste over, Pen tool, and other issues.

We will especially focus on Layers. This will be crucial in not only Illustrator but also Photoshop!

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

Working as a computer tech

Materials use is also a huge component of computer manufacturing: Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing Process worksheet

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.

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
