C.P.E. Final Project

IMPORTANT! YOUR C.P.E. MUST BE TURNED IN WITH YOUR COVER ART CUT, AND INSERTED INTO YOUR JEWEL CASE. PROJECTS WITHOUT ARTWORK IN THE JEWEL CASE CAN ONLY RECEIVE A MAXIMUM OF 75%. REMEMBER TO WORK ON YOUR COVER EARLY SO YOU CAN PRINT IT OUT AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LAST MINUTE RUSH TO PRINT.
For this project you will be turning your photos into a video using iMovie. You can use the Ken Burns effect to navigate around individual photos or use your photos as stills, it's up to you.
You will give this project a face and name of your very own choosing and use it on the album cover, that will have a cohesive design with the text and imagery used on the inside of your cover. The end result will be a nicely packaged DVD that you will burn using iDVD.
What will your project be about?
Will you keep it, or give it to someone else as a gift?
Either way it should be something of meaning that you or someone you know can look back on when they're old and remind you about the little things that make up life in the year 2011/2012.
Here are the Requirements:
1. The C.P.E. DVD must be a minimum of 10 minutes long with the title of your project and your name at the beginning of the video.
2. The C.P.E. DVD must have an audio track of at least 1 or more songs of your choosing. (I find that it's always best to find music that fits the mood or theme of the photos you're presenting, but that is not a requirement for the C.P.E.)
3. The C.P.E. DVD must have a cover that you design in Photoshop CS. The project template will be 9.50 in Wide x 4.75 Height with a resolution of 600. Use your Selection Tool to click on the ruler on the left hand side of the Photoshop document and drag that 'Ruler Guide' to mark the center of your project (4.75 inches). The Ruler Guide should SNAP into place in the middle of your project. This is where you will fold your project to make the Cover and the Inside Cover. Both will have a cohesive look them that will add to the overall look of the C.P.E.  Your Front Cover will have the title of your project and your full name.  Your Inside Cover must have textual content.  This could be a poem, a dedication, a quote, or whatever you like, just as long as there is text that appears on the Inside Cover.
4. You will be required to create 2 versions of your Artwork.  You'll choose which one to print at the end of the semester.
5. The C.P.E. will then be burned onto a DVD using iDVD.
The C.P.E. is due on the last week of the semester and must be cut and inserted into a jewel case to receive full credit.
Don' wait on this project! Get out and take some great photos, Rock the C.P.E., and most importantly, have fun!
Your C.P.E. is due on the last week of the semester!
