Some Upcoming Projects (Homework)

HOMEWORK REMINDERS

We have a couple assignments coming up that will require a little planning.  Your homework assignments are as follows:

3D Photography:  Your assignment is to find some areas where you can see depth (something in the foreground, middle, and background) and take some pictures.  We will then use those pictures to create 3D anaglyph (red & blue) images.

1. Stand as still as possible and aim your camera at a subject that doesn't move (i.e. a sleeping animal).
2. Note where the center of the viewfinder is at and take your first (left) picture.
3. Move the camera about 2.5 - 3 inches to the right (about the distance between the center of your eyes).
4. Aim your camera at the same point (as noted in step 2) and take your second (right) picture.
5. Repeat with a variety of subjects/locations.

Logo Concepts:  Begin playing with (sketching) a series of logos which represents you in some way. 

• If you were a company right now, what would your company name be?  I might do "AskGriff" or "Griffith Enterprises" or even something more generic like "Obsidian" or "Konocti Education Technology".  
• I might choose to focus my logo on a computer or a camera or a silhouette of Mt. Konocti.   I might even opt to simplify my AskGriff cartoon character and build that into a logo.
• Begin thinking about color schemes for your company.  KHS is orange and black... Pepsi is red, white and blue... McDonalds is yellow and red.  We're going to START with black & white, but color is important and will be incorporated later.
• I'm not looking for a finished product, here -- just rough sketches for logo concepts.

Restoring Damaged Photos:

We will be doing a photo restoration project.  If you have a friend or family member with a damaged photo (torn, ripped, water damaged, etc.) and you would like to bring it in, we can scan it and you can work on it yourself.  I can even use it as an example and see what I can help with.
