This class is open if you're too lazy to look at the date, but if you happen to join up and be my only student (even for a bit) you could make the argument that a smaller class is better,right?



Student:

This is a signature making/design class. If you want to learn simply the basics of Photoshop, then I guess you're out of luck here. I use Photoshop CS3, so obviously, this being the newest version, I can help you out with your older versions (as long as it's not too old, Id say PS 7 is probably my limit).

If you have another program, such as the GIMP, etc. and would still like to join, you can still participate in special assignments that are taliored to your program if it is a PS-specific program, or just participate in the current assignments. I will not give you specific intstructions to improve something when I critique your works (ie I wont tell you what menu commands, etc since I dont know my way around your program) but I will let you know what can be improved about the image itself.

So, in summary, if you know your way around Photoshop even enough to make a signature, etc. then this is the right place for you. I will give you a variety of assignments to open up your mind to the unused and often ignored features of Photoshop and how you can utilize them in creative ways.

You will ultimately gain the most out of this class by me critiquing your unique assignments and utilizing my advice to make yourself better at PS.








So, I need you to answer a few questions:

* What version of PS do you own?

* How long have you been using it to make signatures/other pieces?

* What you ultimately want to achieve by being in my Graphics class.







YOUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT:

Make a signature, any size, any style. YOU MAY NOT USE A PREVIOUS SIGNATURE. You must make one specifically for this assignment. You will, upon finishing, posat the signature and the steps you used to make the signature. This is so I can see how you go about making a piece and what style you use. Make sure to save the original file so you can make further changes.
