Good morning crew, sincere apologies that I am not with you today. My dad was rushed to the hospital in the ambulance last night with severe chest pains. The admitted him to the hospital to do more thorough exams and monitor him so I am taking off today to be with him and support him and my family. SO, what does this mean for you? I would like you to do the same things that I had planned for today, I just won't be there to deliver the demonstrations and lessons. Whoever is covering for me should have a yellow packet for you. Please watch the first video and complete the notes in the packet as you do so. Then I want to transition from the logo project into the touchup unit of the class. The second link below will take you to the page that introduces the unit as well as a short video. Take a look at the page and video and notice how so much of the billboard is manipulated to make the girl more "glamorous." You will learn how to use Photoshop to do some of the same things they are doing in the video. Then we will start with our first touchup tool, the clone stamp. The video below will introduce the tool and how to use it. Edit one of your photos with it and turn in a before and after version on Schoology. If you still need to work on your logo, please finish that up before you work on the clone stamp. We are moving away from the logo, so you may need to work on that outside of class though! Have a great day everyone!

If you do have all of the prep work done, I have a new, simple assignment for you to do today in Illustrator. It's linked just below. On that page you will find a starting file and video to walk you through the process that of creating the text as I did for the left side. Shouldn't be too tough if you use the video.
