=Movie Poster Graphic Design= ==How does the exploration of Photoshop and the independent learning, problem solving approach to this project affect you as a student?== (Media Lab, grade 8)

Overview
Each 8th Grader is given an existing graphic design template to replicate using Abobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe In-design. Each design is based on a movie poster, but in some cases, a DVD design, or magazine cover, is used. The students are required to assemble their own graphic design based exactly on the chosen template. Each student is responsible for experimenting and exploring the software. Limited help will be provided by the teacher. The students are highly encouraged to "learn by doing", to experiment with the software, and show the teacher tools, methods, etc. that they're learning.

The project goes from September to April.

All work in the computer lab, for all grades, is based exclusively, on projects, using advanced graphics and video-editing software.

All students are encouraged
