Illustrator Project Turn-in Instructions AND Reflection. Posted 4/20 - MAJOR

 Today you should work hard on all THREE illustrator creations you have been working on. I expect to see them posted by the end of the class period. You should also complete the reflection which you can find at the bottom of this assignment.

Turning them in is pretty simple. You will need to save them as an .ai file. This is the native file format in Illustrator, so a simple save as should get you to the correct pop-up box. Save the piece on to your desktop. Label it Illustrator 1 (2 or 3) or you could name it to represent the subject like Infographic 1, Political Cartoon, Drawing 3.

Move the .AI file to your Google Drive. Click the Share Button and make sure you change the sharing to Bowie High School. Get a clickable link. Go to your Google Site and use the Embed function on a new Google Site subpage called Illustrator Project and put that link on your site. I want to be able to access the .AI file.

Then in Illustrator do this:

File>Export>SAVE AS
Choose .PNG
In the dialog box choose DESKTOP

It should put a .PNG version on your desktop and that can go onto your Google Site.

Post them on your Google Site - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DRAG ONE OF THE CORNERS TO MAKE IT AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE ON GOOGLE SITES SO I CAN SEE IT - and you are done for the day.

Sorry I am not there today to help, but you have done something similar a few times already this year. 
Remember - you should have 1 Infographic, 1 Political Cartoon, and 1 more piece of your choosing. 

More Examples from last year in my J1 class:
