The first Creator Club is over!

 

We had 2 sessions of the club this week as most of these guys are away on school trips next week. Our first session was the Graphics side of all things creative and Debs was in her element explaining the joys of photoshop. All sorts of terms were flying across the mac suite which I instantly forgot! 

Scanning in all the work they have done over these past few weeks.....re-sizing, cropping, layering, adding text & changing colour is all but a few things they were all studiously learning about. Michael was on hand to help Debs, whilst Letitia and myself realised we are not the pros we thought we were and actually cropping an image is not really that difficult!!! (We thought because we knew how to do that we were pros!) So, rather than stand around making out we knew everything, we messed around!Tut! Here are the results.....
 

Ummmm........Letitia playing at being 'lost in space'.

 

 

 

Me....doing some sort of magic trick, but I was trying to be 'lost in space' too!!

        ......selfies are actually very hard to pull off!

And finally......we had our Soph showing them how to make books. Due to the Unit 1/Unit 3 deadline I missed the beginning of the tutorial
where Sophie was showing them examples of her gorgeous work and then giving them a quick lesson on how to construct a little flip book and then they were off doing bits on photoshop before printing out and coming back with these! Phew! As always with Creator Club, we ran out of time, so these books need a little tweaking but I am sure you agree, they look amazing.....

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Nath, Martin, Bruce, Letitia, Debs & Sophie for taking the time out from their very, very busy schedules to come and teach. To Hannah for helping us set everything up AND a massive thank you to Michael who without his constant enthusiam and knowledge on all things creative this club would have been very different. Cheers guys....we are a great team!

 And finally, the students who turned up every week, you have been a absolute pleasure to hang out with! We really hope you have come away from JLC with a better understanding of how the department runs, but more importantly, some new skills to take back to school with you and use in your studies there!  

 

 

THE END - (for now!)
