Next assignment: Tutorial

Tutorial

On Tuesday (10/13), you should be prepared to give the class a photoshop tutorial, on any topic or effect you'd like to research. Google something you'd like to learn, or click around in the links on the "my blog list" column on the righthand side of this page (there are lots of good tutorials on those blogs). Remember, step yourself through it BEFORE you come to class, to make sure you understand all the steps, and have all the materials you need. You should be able to make your demonstration in about ten minutes.

Don't pick something too complicated to do in ten minutes, but don't get too simple, either. If you just correct some redeye or something, or review something we've already covered in class, you're not going to get a good grade (though it might be something that builds on things we've learned in class, there should be at least some new element getting you to the end product). Try to hit that sweet spot of "moderately difficult" tutorial.

I'll be keeping the lab open on monday from 11:30-3:00. If you don't have photoshop on your computer, and can't make that time slot, you can download a free trial version of photoshop which will let you use it for 30 days.

Post a link or a one-sentence description of the tutorial you'd like to do in the "comments" to this blog post,  checking to make sure no one else has picked the same tutorial before you.
