Week ten and eleven (Oct. 22 - Nov. 1)

We are cruising right along with our CD cover project and should be done by early next week. (Be on the lookout for the slide show of numerous covers soon). Here's a sample of one, created by Braxton. To create this, he started with a square transparent canvas and then used a gradient fill to paint the background. The text was made at flamingtext.com and then imported into Photoshop. He used the transform tool to adjust the size, as well as rotate the words. The image of the fist was found through a Google SafeSearch using advanced search filters specifying the size and usage rights ("free to use and share").

I've also started to add video tutorials to my Youtube website. (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWrgVyHo2H3Nf7IfjIPuxeQ) These will be used to flip the classroom, review for quizzes, or for reference during class in case a student has forgotten a certain technique.
