Communication Plan

2012 – 2013

CMT 12 is a course set up to allow students to develop and refine skills related to the graphic arts field. This course is more related to the creation of creative digital media using several different Adobe programs.  Students will develop skills by completing projects that use the “digital workflow”, which basically means that students will use the proper programs to complete a final product. Students that take this course should have taken CMT 11 or have well developed skills with graphic programs such as Photoshop.

Students who take CMT 12 will need to use a digital camera to take pictures assignments that will be given each week. It is very important that students have access to a camera as assignments

One of the major components of this course is an exam which will be hands on product design which will end with a full production of a final product from a design brief. This exam will be worth 20% of the final grade and will be an evaluation of skills gained during the course.

Marking Plan:

·      Paper assignments                            10

·      Tests / Creative assignments:           10

·      Major Projects:                                 40

All files must be submitted in a folder with your name on the "graphics" file server inside the assigned folder.

Photo Assignment

Odd Rule: Photo Assignment

“Odd numbers are better than Even ones in photography.”

I heard about this ‘odd rule’ years ago in a magazine and laughed it off as the author having some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder – but ever since I heard it I’ve noticed that in the shots I take it is true.

I’m not exactly sure why it works – but it does. Perhaps it’s about the balance that odd numbers create (there’s always one thing in the centre to give balance)?

I find that three objects in a shot are particularly good. Five, Seven or more can work but you run the risk of clutter.

Give it a try – it works!

Days of the week

The days of the week that we use today were adopted about 400 AD. The names of the days originated in mythology, your task is to create a set of new days that represent how you feel about the "days of the week". The main idea is to make the days sound more "modern". Name the days and then find an image or create one before the end of the class that describes each day. Make sure that you pass this in before the end of the week.
