Thanks for visiting. Student in my classes have been working hard this semester and we are coming up quickly to Spring Break. In my Desktop Publishing classes, we have been learning how to use Adobe Illustrator CS 4. More specifically, how to use it to create logos. We have created a number of logos using various "cool" effects such as reflection, glossy vector, 3-D, and more. Have your son or daughter show you their work on the class Wiki. We have also been talking about font choice and the different ways that one can use contrast with type. This week we will be having Lisa Martin from Ad Solutions visit as a guest speaker to talk about the process of logo development. Students will put their skills and knowledge together to create personal logos, as well as logo redesigns for the Big 10 Conference, the Detroit Lions, and the Sparta Football summer camp t-shirts.
Programming students have been working on the "Faces" project. It is a cumulative project covering everything covered in class so far and a few new things such as sound, video, menus, and printing. As we finish up this project, we will move on to a unit on Looping structures. This will in turn lead into some animation which is always a favorite.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please drop me a note at todd.toporski@staff.spartaschools.org.
Thanks!
