Class begins October 28nd and runs 8 weeks until December 18th. The main thing to do this week is to get all of the systems up and running.
-Read through the class syllabus linked from the list of links in the upper right of the blog.
-Post a bio and hello to this blog. Include a statement of what you hope to learn in this class.
-Secure a copy of Photoshop https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html You can also complete your creative work at Albertus. Photoshop is on all of the publicly available computers in the labs and in the Library.
By the end of Week 1, I want you to:
-Post a 1 paragraph review of a graphic design artist found either at the Museum of Graphic Design or through one of the links on the syllabus. Include an image from their work. This will count as 1 attendance record and your Bio will count as the other for the first week. After that, your creative work that you'll post will count toward attendance. There are two attendance records generated each week.
-Watch some of the videos on how to use Photoshop, posted in the syllabus.
-Let me know if you have any concerns or if you don't know how to do something. There is a video on how to post to this blog in the list of class links in the upper right hand corner where other important links are located.
-Getting off the ground this week is very important! The class goes by quickly. Any delay in learning to blog, installing your software, etc will set you back quite a bit. There are thousands of tutorials on YouTube on Photoshop as well as the videos I have made for you, linked from the syllabus.
Looking forward to getting this class launched!
