Monday's photo editing class ...

Arrived just in time for the 5:10pm train after a 15KM hike (start time: 10:20am) (NOT FOR CLASS)

11.11 Assignment — Four different cards, four different colors, three shapes + one square. We aren't given much time to think about projects. We get to class and the prof tells us to pick a certain amount of our own images for a topic. The first hour we are told and taught the specifications. We get the remaining two hours of class plus an extra hour before the deadline. I have been able to finish projects within an hour or so.

10.14 Assignment — Four different images, four different colors focusing on using basic rectangular shapes and adding font. We were only allowed to use one font type. Yawn. Professor nagged me for not using the correct font, but I told her I added some bevel and emboss to make it look more interesting — she let it pass. We learned about layers and filters and turning images B&W. I found myself showing the prof a thing or two during her lesson. I love being able to play around in Photoshop a few hours each week!

My mid-term project. Not my images — had four to choose from. Not my words — copied from the Internet. Being required to cut out the insects — had four to choose from — made for nit-picky work. Not sure I am overly happy with my posters. Requirement: one B&W, one color for national parks. We had a three hour deadline. I handed both in within an hour. These are worth 20% of my final grade. Hmmmmm ...
