Good morning! Hope your Friday is going great! Today is simply a work day... time for you to get stuff done! The CD project is due on Monday so this would be a fantastic thing to focus on today. If you don't have anything remaining to do for the CD, good for you! You can begin working on the key chain design or fabric print. Either is fine, just make sure that you use the time you have; there isn't much of it left! Have a great day and a fantastic weekend!

Good morning camera geeks! Happy Friday! Today is a work day; work on what you ask? You can HDR the photos that you were to have taken yesterday. Don't forget to make proof sheets of the 15 original photos for it and the 5 new HDR photos. We will present them Monday so you can even prepare for the presentation. Maybe you still need to convert the color photos to monochrome and make proof sheets. Is the Sequence Photography done? The website might be something else you can work on. If you have those things done, you rock! Maybe take a look at the readings that I have for shooting at night. This will help you prepare for next week. Hope you have an awesome weekend!

Hi everyone, hope you've had a good day today so far. Good news, I'm not there to ruin it for you! In fact, today is just a work day for you. You can continue to work on the screen printing project if it is not yet complete or Personifying a Word if you are one of the handful of students that has not yet completed it. The next project to be due will be the Notepad. In fact, the notepad is due next week at this time. The only other thing that you have to do is the Vinyl Jacket that we began working on yesterday. Most of you not named Dave, Noah or Kaelob have plenty to do, but even they have the entire Vinyl project to complete yet! Have a great day and a fantastic weekend!
