Alrite.......me and my frds was successful enough to convice a teacher to help us start a GFX club in school. Now we need to do promotion posters, and stuff like that.....We will meet every wednesdays after school and now we have alot of problems..... 1) What kind of posters are good for promoting a school club.... 2) What should we do in the club? (we need a very good plan) 3) we are not pros at graphics so we need to no what we should do... We dont want the teacher and students to think we are just screwing and playing around...we want to make this club serious and fun...we will help school plays and website etc... So if ANY1 HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS...PLZ POST IN THIS THREAD AND HELP US OR PM ME....thank u fellow of GR...
1. Make simple posters in word or illustrator. Don't go over the top. 2. Make posters for school events E.G. School plays, car washes, other clubs, fund raisers... 3. Start looking at tutorials. Have people teach each other.
create a mini-curriculum, and act professional teach the noobs some easy stuff in PS and they'll be hooked create logos for the schools website, maybe design a new template for your schools website
Great idea btw... I'm pretty new to design and I would love a club like this at my school! I suggest you do like Sig of the week with theme, than you can see who are the best and make them explain how they did some effect to the others and then the rest of the club can try it and tell him how he could improve his skill with suggestion and comment. After some time, you will know who are the best and make them teach some stuff to the new and vice-versa.
Really depends on what limits are on the school comps and what gfx software is on them. I know most schools, have blocked site lists, can't download stuff etc. Some brushes won't work on certain versions of ps etc etc Just little things really that can be annoying, to start it off I'd show them the basics of photoshop, little demos on what some of the tools do, then just take them through a full sig tut.
Well, for posters, they should be something simple but cool. If its all cluttered like most sig, people arent as likely to notice it. you need VERY EASY TO READ text.
Alright...i got something to add, first of all our school ONLY has Photoshop Elements, we're not familiar with it and dont know about its capabilities. Does anyone know anything about it (PSE)? If you can, be specific such as what kind of filters it has, can it support custom brushes off the net etc... Also post useful stuff, criticism is not needed because whats done is done.
Indeed....our school just got new computers..they are the iMacs...pretty good I guess....it has programs like ps element....dreamweaver....flash...and someother videomaip programs....I no these arent that great...but thats the best we got.......so we need alot of suggestions...
under any circumstances, do not teach them sigging. it will get them nowhere, instead teaching them design basics then move up into wallpapers. have questions? need help? add my msn: sleepys.msn[at]gmail.com infact i will teach a class via skype if you want.
