OUR PROJECT FOR THE WEEK- THE ANIMATED ADVERTISEMENT PROJECT (due Thursday):

• For this project, you will be using your CANVA skills to create an animated advertisement to sell the 2024 Highlander Yearbook. Here are the rules:
• EXAMPLE ADVERTISEMENT, created by Mr. B.using some uploaded photographs that he had on CANVA:
  • 
  • You will need to search for a term in CANVA that will give you a decent template to work with. I suggest something like "ANIMATED PHOTO GALLERY," which will give you a good template to start with. MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE "ANIMATIONS" BOX IN THE FILTER SECTION (see below)! I would like a VARIETY of different ads, for use in the announcements, so do not select the first one you see, scroll down a bit!
  • You will need to locate 6-10 yearbook photographs THAT YOU PERSONALLY TOOK THIS YEAR to upload as your photos for your advertisement.
  • Insert AT LEAST 6 of your photographs into your advertisement, make sure that your presentation and design looks professional. I DO NOT WANT MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL GARBAGE!
  • Make sure to include the following Words/Terms on your advertisement:
    • THE 2024 HIGHLANDER YEARBOOK
    • COMING 5/13/2024
    • ORDER FORMS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE.
    • PHOTOS BY "YOURNAME." (this can be small!)
  • Check your animations so that they come in at a consistent rate and hold for a few seconds at the end of the animation. ADJUST THESE, AS NEEDED! Your animation should be about 5-7 seconds long.
  • DOWNLOAD your final product as .GIF file and save it to the BLUE DRIVE in the ANIMATED_ADVERTISEMENT folder. This will be a 50 point assignment, due at the end of this week. You will be graded on the following:
    • Prompt professional completion of this project= 10 points
    • Proper inclusion of all necessary elements= 20 points.
    • Quality and professionalism of the final product= 20 points
    • Quality of the photographs included in the final product= 10 points.
