Nasty Weather

In class tonight (albeit abbreviated due to the weather),we went over uploading images, creating organized files and folders, picasa for online storage, slight image adjustment in Photoshop, and resizing and resampling images. We also learned how to scan objects and documents.

Remember that it is important to always work with high resolution images and scans. It is easy to make an image smaller, but you can't make it larger.

It is important that you are specific when naming files. Always save the original (title.orig), (title.rev1, title.rev2...). Make folders to organize groups of files dedicated to one Image.

We will review this further next week.

Post to your blog:

5 photos
1 drawing
1 object

This is the minimum. You are welcome to post more.

I will be posting a reading to Blackboard, and excerpt from Bruno Schulz's The Street of Crocodiles. I would like you to make line drawings in response to this (at least 3 pages in your sketchbook). Next week we will be scanning the drawings and manipulating them in Adobe Illustrator.
