After exploring the history of graphic design, I tasked the class with creating a poster from each era. This was my Art Deco example.

After learning how to use selection tools and layer masks, I tasked students with creating a composition of at least three images.

Modern or “Flat” design was the final part of our graphic design history lesson and inspiration for this example.

A Self Portrait Collage is one of the first projects I assign to my classes. It is an easy way to get to know Photoshop as well as each other.

This project was meant to inject horror elements into a romantic/comedy film or TV show.

Starting from scratch, students imagined their own films, wrote short summaries, casted actors, and then created posters to go along with their stories.
