Week 2...A Very Snowy Thursday

Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, my Digital Media class was not able to meet on Thursday. I was expecting to begin my project in class on Thursday, but I guess it will have to wait for this coming week. I have been thinking about my first assignment for the past week or so, and I think that I know the direction that I am headed. I saved some of my digital photos to a flash drive and went through some of my artwork over the weekend. I hope to incorporate photos and possibly some of my drawings and paintings into the landscape assignment.

In class on Monday, we looked at examples of landscape designs from previous semesters. After going over the examples, I rethought some of my initial ideas for the assignment. The examples inspired me to focus on things in nature. I decided to look through my photos of Fire Island and The Great South Bay after class on Monday.

In addition to looking at examples, we spent part of class going over more Photoshop tools. I was familiar with most of the tools that we went over, for example the paintbrush and lasso tools; however, I did learn some tricks that will help me to keep my layers organized. I also learned about selecting and deselecting layers.
