Periods 3 & 5
Good afternoon everyone. I'm currently in the meeting that was postponed from last week. I'm sorry that I can't be with you to help out this period, but I'm sure that you will be fine without me. Today you can continue to work on the projects that I have already introduced (Global Hue, Global Levels, Letter Hunt). They are all due tomorrow so getting them done today would be great! There is another new assignment, a Lens Flare Background, that I would like you to start today. You can find the digital version of the handout here, or ask for a printed version of the directions. One thing that I might suggest is on step one, make the document 10" by 10" instead of 5 x 5. This is a different assignment because you'll actually be using Photoshop as a drawing tool instead of a photo editor. It's cool though because you can create such crazy and unique designs just by following the steps listed. If you get stuck, maybe someone else in the class can get you past the step that your struggling with. I can't help you today, but I definitely can tomorrow in class! Hope you have a great day, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Period 4
Good morning! Today I am in the meeting that was postponed from last week. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you this yesterday, but I really wasn't sure if it would happen today. Sorry for any confusion with the change of plans. Instead of being in 419 and me demoing the next few steps for the notepad, today is simply a work day. Remember that your vector is due Friday. Not the one for the notepad, but your complex, final vector. If that's done, continue to work on (or start) your notepad. Once you get to the point that your comprehensive is done, that's all you can do on this project. There is still notebook pages that you can make in Illustrator. Just like we did for the Typeface Search, you can build pages for the vector unit, screen printing, type, and notepad. You can also work on an extra credit project too if both the notepad and final vector are complete. There should be no reason that anyone is sitting around not working today! If not, I will deal with those people when I return to class tomorrow. Hope you have a great day!
