Templates

Hey all!

Here is what is expected for today's class period:

1) Finish any and all of your phone wallpapers. These should be done by the end of the period. 

2) Create a template! Below is a screenshot of @HCSportsLive's feed. You can find a lot of examples of templates used on this account:


The term template, when used in the context of design, refers to a sample document that has already some details in place and can be used over and over again.


Above is an example of a template for @HCSportsLive. What would you like to create a template for? What are you involved in? Here are some ideas...

- A team or club you are a part of
- Your favorite college or professional team
- A performance, musical, or show that you want to promote
- A visual for a class presentation

How to start:

- Open Photoshop and go to File > New. Use any size you want. If this is something for Instagram, consider a square shape. 

- Start adding shapes, type, and logos. It is so important to use layers! Layer > New > Layer


What to include in your template:
- Event/Subject (Game Day, Concert, Stats, etc)
- #Hashtag
- Social Media
- Logos
- Picture 

 Consider:
- Gradients
- Color Schemes
- Fonts
- Layer Effects (Drop Shadows, Stroke, etc)


Do your best! Can't wait to see what we come up with!

Mr. Slenk
