We will begin tonight’s class by recapping week #1’s introduction to photoshop as well as jumping into Part 2 of assignment #1 – our first assignment! The first assignment has a few parts and I will be sharing more tutorials during our class time. I will give a deeper demonstration with adobe photoshop on how to prepare your design layout, place and resize images, apply layers and also preparing your final designs file format for sharing it on the web and in print.
Remember, each assignment will have its own page with all of the specifications needed to work on, complete and submit the assignment. Assignment #1 can be found here.

Becoming familiar with terms and items like: “design briefs, project sheets and project specifications” are essential to the design industry. We will become familiar with this process and following a simulation like experience 🙂
We will discuss the progress and submissions process of your finished assignments and how to send and share them via google drive. We will discuss the maintaining of your files and data and how to keep it safe and easy to access.
