Good morning all! I hope you saw yesterday's post about the winners. I am very proud of all of you! Today is the written part of the final. Typical quiz/test protocol... no phones, talking, skipping from tab to tab, notes etc. The final is in two parts so make sure that you do both. Both must be completed today! Once done, please be respectful of your peers that are still testing, but you can work on any of your projects or if all work is done, things for another class. Tomorrow we will do the Photoshop final. Here are some things to know for it:

• How to crop to an aspect ratio
• How to make a vignette
• How to make a cutout
• How to make a selection
• How to make part of a photo stand out
• How to change resolution
• How to rescale a photo
• How to resize a photo

Good morning everyone! Hope you're having a great day today. Today is simply a work day. Please use the time to wrap up the vinyl jacket, decals, screen printing or even to work on an extra credit vector, button, notepad etc. Please check out my example vinyl or the examples on the site to make sure that you have done everything correctly! Tomorrow we will clean the room, so be here so you can get credit! You may not want to wear your best clothes either. IF you don't have you're jacket done tomorrow, don't count on working on it in class Monday or Friday! I can request you for flex either day, but don't count on extra work time in class either day! Plan ahead now! Have a great day!

You are all awesome! Not only is this the first time ever that each person in the class has turned in a photo, but the photos were so good that the votes were really spread out with no one running away from the pack! You should all be very proud of that. Enough delay... third place was a tie with Animesh's sky from the plane photo and Addie with the budding succulent earning the same amount of points. Both will start with 10 extra credit points on the final. Second place was Makayla's colorful glass lights. She will be exempt from whichever half of the final she chooses. Receiving the most total votes was Conner's colorful flowers along a walk photo. He will not have to take either part of the final. Congratulations to all!
