Good morning guys, happy Friday. With today being such a short day and me not being there, I'm making today a work day. Please take advantage of it as your jacket and vinyl are due next week! Hope you have a great weekend!

Good morning Graphics Geeks! Today is a work day for you! I know that me not being there makes things a little more difficult so please watch the videos that I have on the site or at the very least, check with some of your classmates that are ahead and have successfully completed that step. Sorry that I'm not there today! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!


Period 4
Good morning gamers! Happy Friday! I'm sorry that I'm not with you today, but the good news is that this means that you have the full day to work on your Pacman! I'm happy to help you on Monday if you run into any issues that you can't overcome. Sorry! Hope you have a great day and an even better weekend!


Period 5
Good morning camera nerds! Hope your having a good day so far today. I'm not here to give you any lessons, but I do have a new project that you can start today. I would like you to use Photoshop as a drawing tool to create a background that could be the cover of your calendar. Please take a look at the video here to make the design. I can help you with any issue that you may encounter. Have a great day, and a fantastic weekend!
