Requirements for the locker project:
For now, please make sure you are working on the following:
-Collect information, Brainstorming, and Developing Solutions: Responses to the questions, your thoughts, reflections... (at least 1 slide each)
-Slides: Current, existing locker at Manual, new design of your new locker, advantages, disadvantages... Accessories (4 – 6 slides)
-Summary of Washington Post article – at least 1 paragraph. (1 slide)
-Sketches: Minimum number of sketches to be determined. (6 slides)
-Google Sketchup: Current locker at Manual, new locker design, inside, outside, three views...... (6 slides)
Final design - also includes boardwork, manual drafting... (minimum 3 views, 3 slides)
Under Brainstorming........
Develop sketches or models to help you puzzle through new ideas and solutions.
Think About:
•Make a list of all the things you like about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
•Make a list of all the things you dislike about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
•Think about your locker not just as a metal box, but as another type of container. What other types of containers do you use each day to store stuff? (Examples: containers for food, clothing, household items)
•Many animals, insects, and plants use containers to store things (Example: bees use honeycombs). Check out some of the images in the Inspiration Gallery for other ideas of strorage units.
•Keep in mind that your newly-designed locker will be one of many along the hallway. How will these individual units all fit together? How will several students use their lockers at the same time without bumping into each other?
Try This:
•Based on the information you collected above, brainstorm a list of special features you’d like your new locker to have.
•Make lots of sketches to get your early ideas down on paper. Learn from each different idea.
•Consider what materials the locker will be made from. What materials will be durable against the wear and tear of student use over the years?
I do not see your summary that was to be done yesterday on the Washington Post locker article.

Hmmm.... we haven't had this problem with SketchUp views before. Are you exporting JPG views straight from the SketchUp model itself? They should be a reasonable size for uploading. Or are you using another method?
Here's what we can recommend...
a) In Google SketchUp, go to 'File' > 'Export' > '2D graphic'
b) From this drop down list, change the export type to JPG
c) Save as a JPG file and upload to your design project
