• Calendar Project:

1. Go to the videos and files page and find the link for the Calendar project.

3. This is a "Review Project," meaning you will use skills that, for the most part, you have already learned.

Advanced Graphic Design/Photoshop 2: 
Project: 

• Create a 2013 calendar cover using only text and effects (no photos or clip art).
• One image will be chosen by the board of the Arc of the Hill Country to be used in various applications, including a calendar.  Although the Arc serves the special needs population of our community, the board specifically wants an image that will be generic enough to use in any application - in other words, you don't have to worry about the graphic reflecting the purpose of the Arc, just worry about creating a cool, fun graphic.  All images posted to your blog on or before Monday, January 21st will be submitted to the board for consideration. 
• You must keep your original Photoshop image!  If your image is chosen, the board will need the original in order to print the image at different sizes.
• Make your cover 12" wide x 8" high and 300 dpi.  You have to stick with these dimensions.
• Here are some examples.
• FYI, I found all the examples when I searched for "Photoshop Text Effect."  There are tons more!
