Publisher Collage

Today, you will be working on a collage that represents you. I have provided an example in the share folder for you to look at (Go to MH_Shares; 247 Kennedy ;  ICA; Desktop Publishing; Sample Collage). Use this example only as a guide, DO NOT COPY! The example was made by a student, but I modified it so that the student's information would not be revealed.

In addition, there is a handout on using WordArt that you may find useful to help you in completing your project. This can be found by going to the share folder and opening WordArt. Please be sure to use the Publisher 2007 Quick Reference Sheet that you received last class for help. Also, refer to Publisher steps that you completed last class as well.

**You are required to include a separate document with the URL's for where you got your pictures. You can use Word for this document. You cannot just write 'http://www.google.com.' You have to copy and paste the ENTIRE URL (web address) for the image into the Word document. Every picture you use has to have a URL.
Setup of Document:

• Open Publisher 2007 and click on Blank Page Sizes on the main screen.
• Scroll down under the standard sizes and choose either Letter (Portrait) 8.5" x 11" OR Letter (Landscape) 11" x 8.5". Then click Create
• Change your margins to .5" on ALL SIDES (Arrange - Layout Guides)
• Put a border around your document (Go to Insert; Design Gallery Object. Select Borders and change color scheme to match your collage)

The following MUST be included in your collage:

• Personal Information: Birthday, Place of Birth, etc.
• Family Members and Pictures
• Education, list pictures of school attended, etc.
• Favorite Teachers, Movies, Music, Hobbies, Athletic Teams, etc.
• Include AutoShapes, Border Art, at least 1 Table, and at least 20 pictures
• Change 1 picture to Washout and a different picture to Black and White
• Use of 'Set Transparent Color' to take away the white background from your pictures. You CANNOT use square or rectangular pictures for more than 7 of your pictures.

This assignment is worth 50 points. Failure to complete or demonstrate use of any of the above will result in a 5 point deduction. This will be due on Friday, October 23rd.

When finished save in your Desktop Publishing folder as Collage.

Fall Scene

If you are finished with your house project, you will be creating a fall scene using the drawing tools in OpenOffice Draw.

This scene can be of anything that you like, but it has to represent Fall/Autumn. Remember to include all elements of the drawing toolbar (3D, shadow, line styles, etc.).

Make your page landscape and change your borders to .03" on all sides.

When finished, save as Fall Scene in your Drawing folder, print, and submit.

Realtor Housing Project

You have been hired by a local Realtor to draw plans for properties that they will be selling. In order to receive a grade of 100, you must draw the first floor, second floor, and yard of the property for sale. In order to receive a grade of 90, you must draw the first floor, one room, and the yard. In order to receive a grade of 80, you must draw the first floor and the yard. Using OpenOffice Draw, complete the drawing projects. You will have 3 blocks to complete the project. You will be required to use all the tool that have been taught in class. The more details that you include in the project, the higher your grade will be. (These include 3D, shadow, line styles, text boxes, autoshapes, etc.) Failure to demonstrate the use of these tools will result in a point deduction!

There is an example of a second floor and yard on the share folder for you to refer to. You may use this to help you, BUT YOU CANNOT COPY!

Be sure to change your page orientation to landscape for all floors (Format > Page).

Each floor/yard is to be completed on a separate page (slide). To do this go to Insert > Slide.

This is the culminating activity for the Drawing unit. Everything you have learned and used in the previous projects needs to be demonstrated.

Here is the grading scale:

Option #1 For A Grade = 100 First Floor Plan, Second Floor Plan, Yard

Option #2 For A Grade = 90 First Floor Plan, One Specific Room, Yard

Option #3 For A Grade = 80 First Floor Plan, Yard

When finished, save as Realtor Housing and print in color to the 4600/4700.

Seating Chart Project

Today you will be creating a seating chart of the room layout. You will be responsible for finding all of the students in the class and writing their names in the designated seat. You do not have to write their name directly on the object. You can use callouts, arrows, lines, etc. to help you label the names of each student.

The following MUST be included:

1. ALL boxes should be shaded (you may use color, gradient, hatching, or bitmap). Really experiment with using shading other than just colors. There are so many other options available!
2. ALL boxes must include a shadow. You MUST CHANGE the shadow color for at least 5 of the seats.
3. At least 3 objects must use 3D. Of these, you must change the 3D color for at least ONE.
4. Do not just use rectangles and squares for your seats. Be creative. You can use circles, basic shapes,     triangles, etc. to make your seats.
5. You must use line styles to outline your objects.
6. You must also include objects to represent the two teacher desks and the door.
7. Your margins must be .5 on ALL SIDES
8. Be sure to include a text box with your heading (Name, Date, Block, and Seating chart as the title). In addition, be sure to label the top of your document with "Room Layout - 247"
9. Create a border around your entire document.
10. Every students name must be spelled correctly. (You only need the first name)

This project will demonstrate your ability to be extremely creative when using basic shapes and objects. Think outside the box. Do something different!

When finished print your project to the color printer 4600/4700. Save to your Drawing folder as Seating Chart. This project is worth 30 points. You will lose 3 points for each requirement not met.

The Solar System

Today, you will be working on creating a picture of the solar system. You will research each of the planets to gain information on their color, shape, and size. Be creative. Remember to utilize your drawing tools to the fullest extent. Fill color, line styles, border styles, 3D, and shadow. ALL OF THESE MUST BE USED AT LEAST ONCE! This project is worth 20 points. You will receive 4 points off for any tools that you do not use.

Before you begin, make a text box as your header and label it with your name, date, block, and Solar System as the title.

**It is recommded that you change your page layout to landscape to give yourself enough room to work with. To do this go to Format > Page, click the Page tab, and change the orientation to landscape.
