Jokaydia-Environmental+Park+Design

=Introduction= toc During this project you will be working in groups of 2 to collaborate on the design of an environmentally themed park.

You will need to consider what you will include in the small plot you are given. You will need to create some type of monument or sculpture, a seating area and any other landscaping ornamental ideas you can come up with that remain within the theme of the environment, and include signage.

Here are a few ideas to get you started. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/CHAC_ABEL_Y_BANDERA.jpg || http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2400/2515431156_36cd686ff1_o.jpg || http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1203/1331332554_9d3158d6d1_m.jpg || http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Sculptures_made_from_ || http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/90/24/902489_817b69e8.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2670/4375425248_d61f58b37a_o.jpg ||

Here is the link to the tick list for the project. You will each need to make a copy, and save it in your ICT folder in Google Docs. Use it when creating your project. Do not write anything in the last columns as they are reserved for your teacher to use to grade your work. =Choosing Your Plot=

You will need to choose a small plot for your pair to build on and mark it with a sign.

=Creating a Sign=

Text
First you will need to create the text for the sign. You can do this in, Word, PowerPoint or Google Docs.

Insert a shape and place a text box on top of it.b

Importing Files
Next **import** your image to Jokaydia Grid.

Rezzing Prims
Right click and select Edit from the menu. Click on the **wand**.
 * Rez** a **Prim** in the shape that you want to use for the sign or marker.

Select the shape you want to use. Name the shape.



Repositioning and Resizing Prims

 * Reposition** it.


 * Resize** it by holding down __both shift and control keys__.
 * Rotate** it by holding the __control key__ down.

Adding Textures
Next you will need to upload your text as a file.

Next click on the Texture tab and select the file from your inventory.



Ensure that everything is correctly positioned. You can join several prims together. Select them while holding down the shift key.

Then hold down **control and L keys to lock** them together. You can always unlock them later for further editing.

=Creating Your Sculpture= You will need to think of an environmental issue you are passionate about. What is the issue? How has it been caused? What problems are associated with it? What is your message to the World? How might you get your message across?

Start off with a simple design. You can always come back to it and add to it. You might choose a broad idea or something much more specific.

This is an example of a very general one that I chose to create.

Once you have started, remember to use the link option together with mouse clicks, while holding down the shift key, to select the items to lock. You can always edit the locked items again later or unlock them as needed.

=Additional Help with Building= For the remainder of the project you will use your creativity and new skills with rezzing prims to create your sculptures and other items on the grid you were assigned. Click here for more examples and ideas for building in Jokaydia Grid.
