Using the link below (which provides an excellent high-resolution image of a standard Monopoly game board), redesign the game board so that it becomes "MONOPOLY JLCP SPECIAL EDITION". The theme of your new game will have something to do with Landon... the entire school or the academics, athletics, music, arts, etc. programs.
Make sure that you change all of the spaces in some way. Change the colors and names. Do not copy directly from the example below. Make it your own... make it creative or funny or ironic, school-spirited... make it unique. The color scheme of your game board should in some way reflect our school colors (be as creative as you want with going beyond the traditional orange, black and white). Whatever colors you choose, make sure to change all the colors from the traditional original colors of Monopoly to new ones. My examples below are not meant to be the completed assignment, just a few ideas. Be as creative and/or funny as you can. Use Pixlr, Sumo, Gimp and/or Inkscape to do your work. And have fun with the assignment :-) High-Resolution Monopoly Game Board: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a2776c_2421794722ac4620b5b9cf6e54ca363c~mv2_d_1600_1594_s_2.jpg Students, please be aware of the following assignment due dates:
Assignments #10 and #11 Wednesday, December 12 Assignment #12 Friday, December 14 POLITICAL SATIRE IMAGE
FAKE NEWS Using three or more images found online, create a national or international news event that never actually happened. The goal is to put together an image that looks as if it came right off the TV news. IT NEEDS TO BE CONVINCING, TO LOOK REAL. BUT THE IDEA IS TO CREATE THIS IMAGE TO LOOK SUPER-REAL WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING ABOUT A (RIDICULOUS/ABSURD/HILARIOUS) FICTITIOUS NEWS EVENT. Your composition should be put together in Pixlr and Inkscape... Pixlr for the photo editing, Inkscape for all of the text. GRADING CRITERIA ARE: 1. CREATIVITY OF THE FAKE NEWS EVENT 2. QUALITY OF THE PHOTO EDITING... (IT NEEDS TO LOOK CONVINCINGLY REAL) 3. QUALITY OF THE TEXT LAYOUT AS OF THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2018, ALL GRADES ARE COMPLETELY CURRENT FOR DIGITAL ART 1 STUDENTS.
If you have a grade of "0" in FOCUS for Assignment #8 (Alphabet) or Assignment #9 (Logos), then you have either not submitted the work or you have given me an IMPROPERLY FORMATTED FLASH DRIVE! If you have given me a flash drive with your work on it and still have a grade of "0" on either or both assignments (8 or 9), read the blog post before this one. SERIOUSLY! We go over this in class EVERY DAY! It's in several places on the blog. It's on the main board in class!!! AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!! If you still wish to submit either or both of these assignments for grading, the work will have to be printed out, in color, on regular-sized printer paper (8.5" x 11"), clearly labeled with NAME, DATE AND PERIOD in the bottom right corner of the front side of the page and given to me directly (you pass the work from your own hands to mine) NO LATER than Friday, December 14, 2018. If this is not done exactly as described above, your grade of "0" will BE CARVED IN STONE!!! Forgive me if I come across as a little annoyed here, but seriously... you'd have to be ignoring me on purpose by now if you're still not getting this right. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE, READ THIS IF YOU WANT YOUR WORK GRADED.12/5/2018
