As we get into a groove of learning online, students are continuing their graphic design education. The Graphic Design & Production students have been asked to create a Motivational Poster to inspire others during this difficult time. They will consider that there are always “tough times”, both on a national scale and a personal scale... during these times, people need to be reminded that there is also a lot of “good” in the world. They will study the history of the famous Keep Calm & Carry On message and learn how it influenced the emotions of the time. This project will challenge students to utilize their new design knowledge and demonstrate the power of influence through digital content. After the project is completed, I will post a link for all to see the interpretations created from this challenge.
The introduction to Design students will be learning how to use Typography as a design element of communication. They are building their knowledge of how to use all the fundamental tools to create professional advertisements, logos, and posters, to name a few. As they learn more about Adobe Illustrator, they will gain more and more confidence in their work. Adobe has given every student free use of the software while we are away. Thank you Adobe! Students also have access to Lynda training tutorials to improve their understanding of the adobe software. Both are FREE to use!
The Advanced Design students are studying digital photography this week. Beyond fundamentals of DSL camera's, they will learn the composition rules and visual storytelling. Since we don't have access to our DSL camera's, they will focus on tips for using the camera on their phones. They have come a long way in detail captured and color definition. I am excited to see the students share their work to their instagram accounts. They are also beginning a 12 page booklet design focused on any subject they choose. They will take photos for their booklets to experiment with all they've learned about taking great photos!
As we fulfill student needs for connectivity, more and more are coming online. I'm proud of how quickly Cobb County administrators have provided laptops to those who need it. Our counselors are also available to any Campbell student who is struggling with challenges at home. Their emails are on the Campbell website. You can also contact Lara Fain

Here at Campbell, we're doing everything possible to meet the challenges of this time. Parents, please encourage your child to keep a daily routine of going into Google Classroom and working through their assignments. Keep the Learning Going!!!
