DPI 2 - Unit 5 (Macro Unit) Studio Lighting

Unit 5 is a Macro Unit - meaning it is really three mini-units that go together. The theme of the Unit is Studio Lighting. Through the exercises and tutorials, you will gain experience using a professional studio and light setup. Because this is a large unit, there are two slideshows of notes (make sure to DO BOTH UNIT 5 NOTES - Part 1 and Part 2!).

Comm Art Unit 3 - Display Board for Design Fest! from MrLawler


Tutorials Leading to Samples
In order to complete your Display Board, you will need a selection of graphics and promotional pieces showcasing what you know and your skills. The tutorials below are intended to help you explore some basic designs using the elements (shape, line, form, color, value etc.). You should not replicate the tutorial exactly, but use them as a guide. Follow the steps, but change the shapes, the colors, the balance, the texture etc. so that they are unique to you!

Tips on Getting Photos to the School Computer

If you are having trouble getting your photos onto the school computer (for instance, you have an iPhone/iPad and you cannot "see" the hidden folders because the school computer requires a driver installation), try following these steps:

1. Transfer the photos to your home PC and then bring them to school on a flash drive

2. Email the photos to yourself and download those at school
 
3. Text the photos to an email account

4. Use a school library computer or a public library computer

5. Partner with another student and use their camera WITH them (if you are going to partner with someone, take a picture of your face before you take over - then you will know which photos are yours and which ones are your partners)
