Tonight I'll review Project 1 and field any questions and concerns that students raise.
I will then introduce Project 2 ~ Support Graphics
The focus of this project is to create a series of graphs that could all work together in a print document, presentation or online. Students will learn to create multiple artboards (only available in CS4 and CS5), use the Color Guide to select a palette and use the 3-D Tool to add visual effects to this set of three graphs. Right click on the Project 2 link to download a PDF, or to open it in a browser window.
Important note ~ we will be gathering information for the graphs from students during class tonight, so plan to be there.

Class 2 • January 25, 2011
Let the fun begin!
Tonight we'll jump right into our first project. The goal of Project 1 is to review essential tools and learn how to make an effective map. This is something most designers are called upon to do at some point. For me, it's about once a week!
Please right click on the Project 1 link to download a PDF of the project, or to open it in a browser window. You will also need the file "map.png" for this assignment. You may retrieve it by right-clicking the link and saving the linked file onto your computer.
