2016 Student Gallup Poll About CAREER CENTER EAST ONLY

This is a direct link about the Career Center East only. Please only think about CCE as you answer these very important questions for us. Thanks for your 100% participation today.

Mid-Term Assessment 2016

Read Instructions Carefully!

First Year: You will do an 8in by 10in / 300 dpi resolution image. It will be a magazine advertisement. The most important thing is the idea (concept) for the ad. The other thing that is very important is the execution of the ad or how well you do creating it technically. You will choose your products last, after the Advanced and Practicum students.

You have the entire period to complete the ad for the product that you choose. Send it to Mrs. Harman at adteacher@ymail.com when you finish as a .jpeg file - name it "yourlastname.jpg". Please send it by 10:55 to be sure that there are no problems with e-mailing it.

Advanced: You will do a magazine ad at 8in by 10in / 300 dpi resolution. You will also do a billboard at 4in by 10in / 300 dpi for a second product. I do not care if you do the billboard first or the magazine ad. Remember, concept is key. Also remember, there should not be more than seven words on a billboard for maximum impact and readability.

You have the entire period to complete the ad and billboard for the products that you choose. Send these to Mrs. Harman at adteacher@ymail.com when you finish as a .jpeg file - name it "yourlastname1.jpg" or "yourlastname2.jpg". Please send these by 10:55 to be sure that there are no problems with e-mailing.

Practicum: You will do a magazine ad at 8in by 10in / 300 dpi resolution. You will also do a billboard at 4in by 10in / 300 dpi for a second product. You will end with a third product that will have a web banner leaderboard done at 728px by 90px. It may be animated or un-animated. I do not care which of the three you do first. Remember, concept is key. Also remember, there should not be more than seven words on a billboard or a leaderboard for maximum impact and readability.

You have the entire period to complete the products. Send these to Mrs. Harman atadteacher@ymail.com when you finish as a .jpeg file - name it "yourlastname1.jpg" or "yourlastname2.jpg". Send the leaderboard as "yourlastname_leaderboard.jpg" (or a .gif if they are animated.) Please send these by 10:55 to be sure that there are no problems with e-mailing.

Good luck to everyone!

Mid-Term Test in a Box

Time is running today, so please be aware.

For your timed exam today, I have placed 30 high res product photos below with links.

Your job is to create advertising pieces using whatever product number you draw from the numbers that I will provide.

The first year will only produce one vertical 8" x 10" 300 resolution magazine advertisement using the asset that is provided. You may use this asset as a subphoto or a main photo. You need to write your own advertising copy. Please remember that the IDEA or CONCEPT is what is most important, but check spelling and keep it memorable! Use appropriate fonts. Don't settle, but push the quality level as high as you can in 2 1/2 hours. Keep your eye on the clock!

Advanced will do the same thing as first year, then you will come back to me to draw a second number and you will then do a 10" x 4" billboard design for the second product. Remember the 7 word limit for billboard copy. You have about 1 hr. 15 min. for each of these pieces. Keep your eye on the clock!

Practicum will do the same thing as advanced, but then you will do a third piece as well. After completing the billboard, come back for a third number, and for that product you will do a web ad, and the dimensions will be taken from this web ad guide. Any size is fine, whichever seems to be the best for your product. Remember, web ads are set in PIXELS NOT INCHES. If you do inches, the computer will freeze! You should only spend about 45 min. on each section. Keep your eye on the clock!
