A Note on Late Assignments

In general, I will always accept late assignments.  Not without penalty of course, but you can always turn in work.  Even if it's been so long and you get a failing grade for the assignment, do it anyway.  The learning is in the doing.

In specific, a HANDFUL of you turned in your PLN summaries that were due Saturday by 1PM.  To those who have yet to do so, you may still turn in your summaries for credit, albeit with points deducted for lateness.  HOWEVER, I will treat them as if they were not turned in late if you include 3 extra articles in your summary.

Act now because this offer may not last!

Let's not let this thing go chronic!

Photoshop Basics Slideshow from Class

Class,

As promised, below I've embedded the Photoshop Basics slideshow I presented last week.  Lots of good information in there for your review.

Academy of Art University Open House 9/25 in DC

Students,

Those of you considering careers in art and design and are looking for additional coursework or to study elsewhere may be interested in Academy of Art University's open house in Washington DC at the end of the month.  Saturday the 25th from 10-5 (all day, basically) representatives will be on hand at the Westin City Center at 1400 M Street, NW to review portfolios and answer questions about financial aid and their accredited degree programs (Animation, Game Design, Graphic Design, Education, Fashion, et al).  More info at: www.academyart.edu.

If you can get away, DC's always a great town to visit with lots of free art, and Rich Salcido's solo show Beautiful Failures will be up at the awesome Art Whino gallery.

HOMEWORK due Saturday!

You guys only partially dodged a bullet Wednesday night!

I will post additional reading for next week as we wrap up Photoshop 101, but in the meantime, don't forget your 2nd PLN summaries are due tomorrow, Saturday 9/11 by 1PM!  That deadline was posted the first week of class, so I won't be well-disposed to late assignments.

HOMEWORK Finally!

Class,

Not sure why your homework assignment didn't auto-post after I tweaked it, but I don't want to inundate you with reading now with just a day left before class (thanks to those students who alerted me that homework had not posted yet!).  Therefore, please just come to class having read the article linked to below, a guest post on Scott Kelby's blog from Ryan Booth.  It's long, but oh so good.

Also, come to class thinking about things you want to accomplish this semester in Multimedia.  I will introduce your self-directed projects Wednesday.

HOMEWORK Coming Soon

I want to make some changes based on how we ended last night.  Will post this afternoon.

Marty!!

Man, these take me back!  And they may be real someday soon.  Looks like a homemade hack proof of concept for those self-lacing Nikes from Back to the Future!
