Screen Printing in CorelDRAW

 This week we continued using Corel DRAW... this assignment we had to make 2 custom designs for either shirts or bags. One of the designs had to be Korah themed and the other was one of our choice. My choice one was a Timmy the Sheep one. Also we have to make a presentation on how to screen print. To screen print you must first select your design, then print it out on posi-paper. after you print it out, you place the image on a screen with emulsion (applied the day before and dried overnight). After the image is taped in place you place the screen on a light source and let the image burn into the emulsion. Next you take the screen to the wash station and get all of the burnt emulsion off leaving a blank space. Lastly you take the screen and place it in the contraption that holds the screen in place. You then take ink and use a squeegee to push the ink through and onto the shirt or whatever you are printing onto to.

Notepads

I decided that in the next few days I will be posting all my Corel DRAW creations. So I will start with my notepads. The assignment was to create 4 custom designed notepads. The 4 themes they had to be were; a Korah one, a personal one, one for a client, and one advertising a tech class at Korah. These are my 4 designs..the first one is my Korah one, the next is my one for my "client" or in my case my employer, my communications technology one and my personal one is Taylor Swift

Corel DRAW in foods

Today we got an assignment to make a poster advertising a food. My project was an advertisement for bananas, everyone else used windows publisher... but I used Corel DRAW.

Buttttttttttons

Post number 2 for the day. This one.... buttons. Unlike the last post this one will be short and sweet. So these are my buttons I made! One Korah one and my personal one was a drawing I made about living, loving and laughing. Next button being made is a Graeme Ellis button with his sayings "Oh No" and "Oh Hullo".

Corel DRAW

  I was going to do this post on the weekend but i forgot my pencil case in english, and in that pencil case was my memory stick. So needless to say i went to put the pictures on my computer, but I didnt have my memory stick. So here is my post....For the past few weeks we have been working with Corel Draw, and I must say it is amazing, so i downloaded the 30 day trial on my laptop! ahah. But anyways back to our past few weeks. First we just fiddled around with the program and drew random pictures. Above are my two favourite pictures that i drew. We also did  many other projects such as making our name look cool using many different effects that DRAW has to offer. We also made buttons, notepads and other random pictures using the effects they have. I will make a post of just pictures next. 

B L O G P O S T

I'm finally starting to get used to this website, I finally figured out how to add videos and pictures. But continuing on with the post, this week in commtech, we read the chapter on animation, answered the 10 questions, wrote out the key terms, presented our stop motion animations, had a practical test on Corel RAVE, and also learned how to use Corel RAVE. Speaking of Corel RAVE it is now my favourite thing ever to do on the computer. attached is one of the images I created. or not seeing how it wont let me select browse to upload it.  But Hanna and I enjoyed the program so much that we spent multiple classes just drawing some pictures. I drew quite a few random pictures including a pig, a pumpkin, Hello Kitty, and a bunny rabbit.

Give Me Back That Filet O Fish... Give Me That Fish

Seeing how I'm done all the assignments for this class, I will work on my blog. This post is actually finished a day before its due instead of 2 weeks late... but anyways. For the past week my partner Hanna and I have been working on our claymation video. It took about 2 days to make all the props and characters out of clay, another 3 days to take all the pictures, then a day to put it all together and add sounds. The project is supposed to be a 5 second stop motion video made in Windows Movie Maker using 50 still photos, but Hanna and I's video is 21 seconds and uses 169 photos (I believe). Throughout making the video I learned how to set up a tripod, how to work our schools cameras and also that claymation takes alot, and I mean ALOT of hard work, effort and time. Graeme also helped Hanna and I quite a bit. He showed us things we didn't know before and just helped in general. Below is a copy of our video... I hope you enjoy it!
