Periods 3 & 5
Hello photographers, I am truly sorry that I am not there with you today. Last night my Grandmother had an incident in which we thought she may have had a stroke. I accompanied her and my Grandpa to the ER and spent the night with them as we try to sort things out. It appears as though she hasn't had a stroke, so things are looking up. So where does that leave you for today? Well, today is a work day. Time for you to work on completing that logo project. I mentioned yesterday that it should really be done this week. Having today to work, uninterrupted by demonstrations and lessons, should go a long way in supporting this. If you have your logo done, fantastic! You can work on things for another class or just enjoy having a free period. Barring any unforeseen circumstances I will be back tomorrow and we will move forward with new projects. Hope you have a great day!

Periods 3 & 5
Hi photographers, hope your having a good day. My daughter is sick and I'm home with her today. The good news for you is that there isn't any notes or lessons from me today! Instead, you can complete your color for emphasis project (due today), continue on with your practice vector, or if both are complete, you can move on to the next assignments as I had mentioned yesterday. After learning to draw with the Pen Tool in Illustrator, now I would like you to draw with just shapes... no pen tool. Here you can find the starting file. Simply click on the dog picture and it will download the starting file. There is a video that you can watch to help you set up the assignment. The rest of the assignment is described here. I know you might not want to read and work from the handout, but following it will make life easier! Remember... no pen tool! I can help you with it tomorrow if you need. Good luck and hope you have a great day!

Period 4

Good morning guys! Cam is sick today and I'm home with her. So no new lessons today. Today you can continue working on your Halftone screen or any other project that you have. It's not a bad idea to start on the MADCOM project either. Hope you guys have a fantastic day!
