Welcome to the final six weeks for this semester. Say goodbye to Illustrator for now and hello to Photoshop. Majority of this six weeks will be focused on Photoshop, or things related to our work in photoshop.
Before we get too into discussing Photoshop, lets take a look at what you produced last six weeks in Illustrator. Using the IB Tech Criteria, I would like you to self-assess the work you posted on your blog. These are the same IB Criteria that were referenced in regards to the grading of your projects.
With us being new to IB still and the complexity of Illustrator, we haven't fully worked through the Design Cycle yet. This six weeks, we'll look at the parts we haven't discussed yet. For now, don't worry about the strike-out text.

Photoshop
For the remainder of today, I'd like to let you explore Photoshop (whether your a newbie or a pro). Look into and try things that you don't already know in Photoshop. Your welcome to look up stuff online to help you in this. Show me your results and post any links for any useful resources you found and don't want to forget about.
