Terribly sorry but this post didn't publish on time for some reason! So ignore that it's no longer Friday, I'm recycling the post for today! Sorry for the mix up!
We've made it to May! And it's Friday! And it's supposed to be a warm and sunny weekend! Things are looking up! In the class today I would like you to turn in your photos for Splash of Color. Since it's Friday I also want to introduce a new photo assignment. Please watch this video. It's about the difference between looking and seeing. Sounds dumb, but it should make sense when you watch. The excerpt that it wants you to read is here. The premise of both is building better photos and seeing some of the detail that you usually overlook that could make great photos. What I would like you to do for next Friday then is take 10 pictures that have depth to them. Have something in the foreground (like 6-12 inches from the camera) a background, and a subject in between both of them. I refer to this as sandwiching. The foreground and the background are the bread, your subject is the meat. The idea is to create a deeper photo by using both the foreground and background to build depth. That's it for today. Hope you have a great weekend!

Good afternoon everyone. Happy first day of May! I feel like this is the part of spring where the weather finally starts to get really nice, which we need! I think that will make everyone's moods better! I have a new photo assignment for you today. Just like in Intro, I'm going to give you until next Friday to take the photos. I figure you can do these while you experiment with you camera apps. This should be a fun one... Trick photography! I'm sure you've seen photos before where it looks like someone is holding a super small person in there hand, holding the sun, etc. You can even google it for inspiration. This is one of the most fun things to experiment with. Try to make them as realistic as possible and really cool. Have a great weekend everyone!

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well with you today and that you had a fantastic weekend! Last week we were talking about type. Today we are going to continue on in that subject. We aren't doing a type search like you saw at the end of the video. Now that you know a thing or two about type, What I would like you to do is check out this video. Unlike the others, I have not made it. It's much better than mine! Watching it will teach you how to create and alter type in Gravit. Once you're done watching the video I have a little challenge for you. This site presents a challenge. There are words written in different typefaces, but the tracking is bad. Adjust the the tracking for the best possible spacing and you will earn the max score for each. Once you are done it will give you an overall score. Take a screen shot of that score and upload it to Schoolgy here. The highest score will earn extra credit! Bonus points will also be given to the one person that can guess why I have beef with the name of this site. If you have a guess, upload it with your score. I'll give you a hint... it has something to do with terminology that may not be the best. That's all for today. Have a great day everyone!
