Poster

Some of you still owe me the Poster Exercise. You must download it into Edmodo as a JPEG. Remember: a JPEG is one of the most popular file formats used for images. When you convert a Photoshop Document into a JPEG the layers disappear and the file is compressed (squeezed), so it occupies less space in your computer. Right now I need you to keep this Poster both as a PSD (.psd) - Photoshop format (to preserve the layers) and as a JPEG (.jpg) in your computers. You should have a folder for Digital Applications on your desktop or in your Pictures folder. Learn to organize yourself!

I need you to remember the Keyboard Shortcuts (you will have a quiz on these shortcuts) in the very near future. Please check the previous entry.

As I told you on Friday, I need you to create another "Creative Photoshop Exercise." What I mean is: think of something out of the box, really creative. You can take a picture of yourself if you wish using the PhotoBooth in your Mac computer, or simply select images online. Add several images into your background and/or duplicate some images. Change the color of some images. Enlarge or shrink your images. Your background, like the Poster should be 8.5" W by 11" H (inches); it can be as a Portrait (8.5" W x 11" H) or as a Landscape (11" W x 8.5" H) - you decide. You should add at least three images to your Photoshop Canvas or Background. Always duplicate your background, just in case (Command-J or drag to the little icon next to the Trash Can in your Layers Panel).

I need to see good images (with good resolution - good quality images), some filters or blending options (Drop Shadow, or Outer Glow or Stroke, etc.), creativity, images selected properly or improved, etc.

Get creative! If you have any questions, please ask Mrs. Feld.
