2 hour Presentation Rough Draft

Introduction

EQ
What is most important for an artist to be successful in the field of graphic designing?

Classroom Theme
3 laptops (one for sideshow presentation and 2 additional for activity), classroom computers with photo-shop, poster from Creative Expression with EQ, projector, tutorial packets, RED BULL!

Sponge Activity

1. The activity: I will have students watch promo-videos of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I will have them write down which one they like the most, and how (for what) they would use that program.
2.  Materials needed and process: I will download the three promotional videos and play them on my laptop. 
3. Relation to answer: My best answer is "Effectively use, application and technical understanding of graphic designing programs." The video shows the top 3 graphic designing programs.

 

Introduction
I'll start by introducing myself and my senior project topic. After that, I'll ready my EQ and have one of the students explain what they think a graphic designer is. I'll explain it in more detail by quoting top designer's and then quick a quick overview of the main topics we will be covering.


Foundation
My main foundation will be to show different kinds of work of designing, including some of my own. Mostly I will show some advertising, band logos, and video game concept art.

Body

Answer 1: Effectively use, application and technical understanding of graphic designing programs. 

• For this section, I will begin by presenting the three different programs that I showed in the video. I'll explain the technical aspect aspect of how each one works, how they are different, and how they are effectively AND ineffectively used.Since this is my best answer, I will take a slightly longer time talking about it.(25-30 minutes)
  

Answer 2: Include and work with the client in every step of the designing process.

• I will be going more into the career aspect of graphic designing for this answer. This goes with a different kind of success, more of a financial success. I'll give real life examples from my service learning. (15 minutes)

 Foundation Activities

Answer 1 Activity

1. A step by step photoshop tutorial
2.  I'll first go over a step by step tutorial for Adobe Photoshop (how to do it and tips) as well as show them from my laptop how to use some of the tools, then I'll leave it up on the board and print out a packet for them to review. It will be a very simple task, only photo manipulation. They will each have a picture and be applying different filters to show how to quickly change a photo and give it a whole new look and feel to it.
3. All the computer in Ms. Melogno's  room, and two addition laptops. Also a packet for everyone for reference on the tutorial.

Answer 2 Activity

1. It will be a "command and draw" activity.
2. I'll have the oldest person in the pair think of a landscape. They will be telling their partner how the landscape looks like in their head and describe it to them. The other pair's job is to try and draw what they think their partner thinks on a piece of paper as accurately as possible.
3. Pencil, paper, and small folder to cover what the person is drawing (this is so they dont make hand gestures to the paper and point out where they want specific things)

Conclusion

Best Answer: Effectively use, application and technical understanding of graphic designing programs. 

• I'll explain that even with good people skills or colaboration with your clients, without knowledge of how to use the designing tools, you are no better then them to design anything.

Presentation 2 Final Draft: Graphic Design

EQ: What is most important for an artist to be successful in the field of graphic designing?

(A) Introduction
1. Describe a general overview of your presentation
-It is mainly going to be a power point presentation on who my service learning is and tie it back to my EQ and defining what graphic designing is.
2. Purpose or objectives of your presentation (aka the thesis of your presentation)
-To show my peers what graphic designing is.

(B) Body (back up your purpose with 2-3 major points)
1. Major point 1: Give examples made my graphic designers. I am doing this to show that they are hired to create pieces of art for something specific (movie poster, book cover...) (6 min.)
2. Major point 2: Go over my piece "Northern Lights", and how it helped me take a huge first step. (4 min)
3. Major point 3: Show who my Service Leaning is and why he helps me. (5 minutes).
*For each major point in the body you plan to discuss, put in parentheses how long you think you will present on this topic
4. I am going to tell every person to design a rough draft of a movie poster on a piece of paper. I'll give them a movie genre (drama/romance) with the actors and directors (Keanu Reeves and Kate Beckinsale) and the plot of the movie.
5. How will this activity help the students understand the major points you already covered?
-The first major point covers how a designing is given a piece to do, and given the requirements and wants and needs form the client. They have to meet all of these and bring it all together to be appropriate with the content of what they are presenting or advertising.
-The second point shows the steps I took in design a piece myself. How the actual piece came together and what I had to think of in order to get to where I wanted to.
-The third point has to do with the gathering of the overall knowledge I gained from the past two points.
(C) Conclusion
1. Summarize the essential points and discuss how this is connected to the EQ.
-Point 1: One of my answers to my EQ is meeting the needs of your client. By showing actual works of art and advertising from real designers, I am giving real life examples of what works well and what doesn’t.
-Point 2: This is mostly me going through the process of designing an art piece. Practice is very important to any career, but it doesn’t directly reflect on any of my EQ answers, but to the EQ it does because skill is essential for success.
-Point 3: This is one of my main fountains of knowledge when it comes to the entire field of graphic designing. This is for my own personal use as well as getting answers to my EQ.
