DID: Infographic Resume

Samples

   

Project

List what a resume is used for:

• getting a job
• college applications
• scholarship applications
• to give to those you would like to write letter of recommendations for you

Tips can be found www.heygetajob.com on the resume templates link. This should lead into a discussion of the basics of resume writing .

• Resumes must be typed
• Print resumes on high quality paper – office supply stores call it resume paper
• Keep your resume to one page
• Use a proper format – use a template
• Write in the active voice
  • No: I have written
  • Yes: I wrote
• Focus on these three skills – point out to students that even if they have no work experience, they should have skills to put in a resume
  • communication skills
  • problem solving skills
  • technical skills
• Pay attention to words
  • Brainstorm a list of words with students to use on resumes.
  • They should come up with 25-50 to get the idea of work-oriented action words.
  • Some examples:
    assisted, implemented, contributed, organized, planned, trained, supervised, selected, earned, presented, mediated, taught, represented
• Tell the truth – that includes exaggeration
• References – this is often times not on a resume, but they need to understand they will need to have contact information for the standard three references
• Customize the resume for the purpose – a job resume is going to be different from a resume for a college application.

Things to Include:

• Objective – one sentence that states why you’re sending the resume to them and it’s a worthwhile place to plug some positive characteristics.
• Challenging or relevant workplace oriented classes they’ve taken in school. Their GPA , if it’s good.
• Work experience if they have any. Most recent job, what they did and for whom, list of duties (remind them of the words you brainstormed earlier).
• Volunteer or community service .
  • Stress the importance of this, particularly if they have little to no work experience.
  • List their title or roll, what they did and for whom, list of duties.
• Talents or skills they have that would be relevant.
• Honors and awards (academic, athletic, community)
• Extra-curricular activities – clubs, associations, activities outside of school, hobbies and interests.

COMM: Flash Project 2 - Effects

Sample Project:

https://www.lsrhs.net/departments/fata/media_arts/flash/project_info/project_examples/negative.html

Shape Tweens

1. Add a shape to the first frame of layer 1
2. CONVERT TO SYMBOL (GRAPHIC)
3. On frame 30 of the same layer, add the same shape
4. Alter the shape's color, size, position, and distortion (distort, envelope, skew)
5. Create a SHAPE TWEEN between frame 1 and 30
6. This will create a SHAPE TWEEN 

Effects

1. Create a shape on the first frame of layer 1
2. CONVERT TO SYMBOL (MOVIE CLIP)
3. On frame 30 of the same layer, add the same shape
4. Add an PROPERTY EFFECT (STYLE or FILTER)
5. Create a CLASSIC TWEEN between frame 1 and 30
6. This will create an EFFECT through CLASSIC TWEEN

Other Tips

1. To create a "loop" the first and last frame of the animation need to be exactly the same
2. You can copy the first frame and past it at the end, then add a TWEEN between
3. Or, before you add your TWEENS; INSERT KEYFRAME multiple times and then TWEEN

DPI 1: Try to Match the Images

Match the Image

Using the knowledge and skills you have developed over the last two semesters, try to match the below images.

1. First, look at each image. Study the editing and effects being used. Be observant and detail orientated!
2. Second, determine what tools and methods you will need.
3. Third, experiment. You may not get things right on the first try!
4. Lastly, match each of the images below using your own images.
5. Post your images to your blog.

 

Brady: Soft edges, black and white/sepia, contrast, brightness, blurs, burn and dodge

Adams: high contrast, deep shadows, burn and dodge, full grays, blurs, layer blending modes

 

Cameron: serpia, soft tones, blurs, soft edges, vignette, burn and dodge, layer blending modes, masking, adjustment layers, gradient overlay

Avedon: border/edging, high contrast, levels, burn and dodge, layer blending modes

(just the black and white border - you do not need the gold border or the text)

Leibovitz: high contrast, shadows and highlights, high pass, color tints, photo filter, hue/sat, levels, burn and dodge, layer blending modes, masking

Uelsmann: blending to images together (eraser, masking, etc.), vignette, shadows, high pass, burn and dodge, curves, layer blending modes, layers

You are being evaluated on MATCHING - how well did you copy the images?
