From Blackboard

Hello, Unfortunately I need to miss class on Wednesday because of a death in my family. Three things I'd like you to work on this week are.... 1. Continue to take pictures. We'll need a lot of pictures to work on throughout the semester, so having a good collection will help. Be sure to take lots of pictures that we can use for backgrounds and texture in digital collages and composites. Graffiti, peeling paint, cracked sidewalks etc. Also try a few self-portraits. I was told that there should be an identity theme to some of our projects, so these images may help. 2. On the left side of the TU Portal there is a link to Lynda.com. If you haven't explored this please do ASAP. There's a wealth of information. If you search around you will find a set of videos on Photoshop CS6. There are even some on "What's new" in CS6. 3. There is a link on the class blog samsvsdigitalimaging.blogspot.com to a TED talk about copyright and appropriated imagery. We will use images from the web and I want to explore and understand what the rights and responsibilities of during that are. Watch it and please post a response on your blog. Please make sure to include a photo of the speaker in the post. You can find a picture of him on line, I'm sure. Here's the link, I'll put it on the blog too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q25-S7jzgs Have a good week and I'll see you Monday the 10th.
