Third Project

I posted the third project! I want you to know that on the syllabus sometimes the pictures cover your instructions and what-not so I cannot read them the whole way through. Please let me know if you have any problems with the pictures that I am uploading on fotothing and if I should be doing anything else then this. I don't want to get behind or not do my best because I am missing something. Thank you!

Revised

Hello! I revised my first project... I also have projects two and three done, but fotothing only allows ten uploads per 24 hours so I will be getting them up in the next two days! Hope everyone else is going well! I really enjoyed the second project's end results. Very Fun.

Second Project

I'm having trouble with the second project. The part where we have to hit ctrl c and ctrl m I'm doing that and it's not opening a new layer and in the beginning where we doing the dots and you made one of the dots bigger I couldn't do that neither. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong

I am sorry this is so late. It took me a while to get into the Adobe and figure it all out. I did the first assignment and the ten pictures are posted on my fotothing...

It is the same fotothing name from my photography class... lrmattei

Let me know if you have a hard time finding me on the site.

:) I will be posting the second assignment soon as well!

I will be enjoying taking this class (even with the late start!)

Videos

Each project has a video to lead you through it step by step.  All are in the syllabus under each project.  Inc ase you missed it, the first video for the dots assignment is here:

http://jnevins.com/project1.htm

Play it through to get an overview then play it and pause it while you do what I demonstrated... play it some more, pause it, etc... You can't go wrong...  Once you learn how to do the project, make it your own by finding your own solutions.  I am looking for you to do at least 6 variations of each project, posted to fotothing.  Post one version here and invite the class to see your work on fotothing by posting your screen name there.

dots 1-5

Hello Prof. Jerry,

I have completed dots 1-5 and posted on fotothing. I had to download photoshop elements 9 cause CS5 was not working properly and I found it easier to use anyway. Thanks.

Welcome to Class!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Two Dimensional Design.  The class revolves around creating a portfolio of images in either Adobe Photoshop (either Elements or the full version) You can download a free trial of Photoshop that is good for 30 days at http://adobe.com/downloads… just download Photoshop CS5 extended, not the whole suite or Photoshop Elements 9.  You’ll have 30 days for each and that will take you to the end of class… if you prefer you can get Elements at a big box store like Costco or B.J.’s, or Best Buy (maybe even Target)  for around $80 and own it outright for good… Another possibility is to buy a previous version like Elements 6 on eBay for around $10 or less (good forever)… but while you are waiting for it to arrive, download the trial from Adobe so you don’t fall behind. I found Elements 9 for $63 including shipping here: http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/Adobe_Photoshop_Elements/65088255/11207298/froogle/

The first week will be about getting up to speed in creating your accounts and getting your software image editing program working.  We will also start small with the first project listed on the syllabus... The Dot.

I don't use campus cruiser for my online classes as it isn't equipped to handle visual portfolios and blogging.  Moodle isn’t much better.  I host the syllabus on my website, http://jnevins.com.  Take a look around there to look at my teaching philosophy, syllabi, portfolios of my own work, tutorials and more...

Here is a link to the syllabus for this class: http://jnevins.com/twodimensionaldesignsyllabusonline.htm

There you will find links to each project, the class blog and the class online portfolio at http://fotothing.com

Important!.... click on the link In the email I had blogger send you it will be from Jerry (me)...  There are instruction on creating an account at blogger and joining the class blog... you don't need to create your own blog... just join the class one..  Here is a link to the blog:

http://mod2twodimensionaldesign.blogspot.com/

Also go to Fotothing.com  and create a free account....post a picture... any picture and post your fotothing name on the class blog so I can find you... I will then add you as a "friend" (class member)....If you have a fotothing account from digital photography, you can continue to add to that….

Download and install your image editing program...


Check out what the day class is doing with Two D Design recently…



I want you to have fun with this class and not get hung up on any of the technical stuff...  Once you get rolling, you'll see it is fun and very engaging...

Don't hesitate to call me at home if you are stuck!
