Saving your final Project

IPR, once you have completed your final project do the following:

1. Save the file as a powerpoint project: ex: cterleskicartoon
2. Put it in your member folder.
>IPR
>Members
>Your personal Folder

3. You also need to copy and paste the files you used in your powerpoint cartoon into that folder. If you have not embeded the files, the files will not play unless you do this step.

I am still missing final projects from:
- Andrew
- Lance
- Ty
- Jordan
- Ariel
- Danielle

Final Project - Cartoon

IPR - Be sure you are working on your cartoon. Check the blog for the requirements and details for the grading criteria.

Plan to have your cartoon completed by this Friday, June 17, 2011.

If you think you will need more time to finish your project talk to me to arrange time to work at lunch or after school.

Good Luck!

Presentation & Cartoon Information

IPR - Be ready to begin presentations this Thursday - June 9.

I'm seeing a lot of creative and original work being done with your Cartoon Projects. Remember to try a combination of effects with your cartoon:

• Add audio and sounds (findsounds.com)


• Try out fireworks or photoshop as editing programs


• Try online photo editing programs like Picnik.com, Big Huge Labs, Dumpr.net, fotoflexer.com or others


• Go oldschool and use Paint


• Be sure to use a storyline that was provided in a previous blog entry - your cartoon needs to make sense!

Good luck and keep up the good work!
