All courses:
Due to the importance of being and active contributing members of a group for many of the projects marks will be earned based on the days present and working on a project. For example, if a project takes ten class days to complete and a student only attends five they will receive 50% of the mark that the group received.
All marks are based on a scale where a “C” indicates that work is sufficient but needs in improvement; a “B” is proficient; and an “A” indicates exceptional work. Students will have many opportunities for feedback and to improve their work before they hand in a final project.
Supplies: All courses need a USB, headphones, binder, paper, pen and maybe colouring stuff.

Just to get you thinking: You must create a body of work that really shows off your abilities - suggestions a magazine, a graphic novel, a portfolio... Probably 5-6 images though this is open to negotiation. The work must be significant not something that can be rushed through in a couple of periods. You will have three weeks of class time to complete the final project May 14th-June 4th. You will need to show at least the following skills: text with effects and variety of sizes and styles, seamless merges of images, seamless colour corrections, brightness corrections, use of copyright free material, digital photography or scanned/hand drawn art.... Your work can be done in pairs but each contribution will need to be identified by the actual creator.
