R094 - Preparing Image Assets for a Graphic Practice (Photoshop version)

(0)
After completing visual identity practice I then move onto teaching students how to prepare images that they download off the web so they are suitable for a ‘main graphic’. On the stages we work through setting up folders to keep them organised, download and store the images; change the resolution, take screenshots to evidence the steps taken; save the image for use later. You will need to think of a practice idea as I use this sheet alongside a themed set of lessons preparing students for R094. Note: Repurposing is mentioned though does not have detail about this as I have another dedicated resource for this.

RocketCake 5 Skills Lessons - 1 - Master & Homepage

First in a series of lessons that aim to teach KS3/4 students how to develop a website using RocketCake 5. Completely reworked from my RocketCake 4 KS4 lessons - students now learn by creating a website with you, starting with a master page to promote consistency. A good tool to help students in Creative iMedia R097 if their brief can be solved with a website as no coding is required. Lesson includes teacher PowerPoint with videos guiding the process (and an all-new voice!); client brief (PDF); separate videos (MP4) for students to play on their own; student checklist; assets to help build the page quickly e.g. logo, text; teacher solution to tasks.

Microsoft Clipchamp - Technical Skills Checklist - Useful for R097 Creative iMedia Practice

(0)
Made for the practice phase of R097 but could be used for any lessons involving Clipchamp PDF printable checklist where students can tick whether the technical skill has been used (with a clue to the part of Clipchamp where it is located). Could be used for self-assessment, peer feedback or teacher assessment. The checklist is not an expected list from any exam board - just a way to help promote as many skills as possible to students.

Adobe Illustrator CC Practice - Lesson 3 - Tracing & Drawing

(0)
Third lesson in my series to help teach students how to use the basics of Adobe Illustrator (based on 2023 version) The focus of the lesson is to help students to learn how to trace images as well be exposed to the rectangle, pen and shape builder tools as they create a lorry. Once the lorry has been created in Tasks 1-5 the focus shifts to the more challenging use of the Pen Tool plus the curvature tool to help make paths easier! If you use the complete set of lessons this will help to re-practice the skills - needed for student success. Lesson includes Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (including embedded videos); starter activity; plenary questions (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy); student tasks with Microsoft Word task sheet which acts as a tick sheet and direction to help video. Suitable for Creative iMedia R094 as students could use Adobe Illustrator alongside Photoshop to design a logo. Please note: lesson created using 2023 version. Whilst almost all tools will be the same, there may be a few that are not present in earlier versions.
