Thursday - September 9th:
First finish the 10 things beginners want to know in Adobe Illustrator, before moving on.
1. Create a new Google Doc titled 10 things about Photoshop CC.
2. Begin watching the video and FOLLOW ALONG (you will need headphones - let me know if you don't have any). You will open Photoshop CC and do the skills that he shows you in the video.
3. In the document you created, you should list the 10 things that Terry discusses and describe them in detail. You should have a minimum of 3 sentences for each item on the list.
4. Did I mention you should follow along with the video? As in, do what Terry is doing in the video? You will have to stop the video, practice, maybe rewind, and LEARN the skill that he is demonstrating. FOLLOW ALONG means PRACTICE AS YOU GO!!! I met this man at a conference a few summers ago and he is the best at teaching Adobe - he knows what he's talking about and he makes it really easy to follow and understand so take advantage of what he has to say!
5. When you have completed the video tutorial and the document, print the document and submit. Remember to include your name, class hour and the name of the software at the top of the document.

Week 1: 8/30 - 9/3
Wednesday - September 1st

Step 1: I want to know who you are as a designer and how you are different from everyone else? Write a Designer's Statement. It should be 1 long paragraph to 1 page long. Read the document below the picture for more guidance. Create your designer statement in a Google document and share it with me.
Step 2: Search the web for free graphic design software and create your own "avatar/bitmoji" version of yourself as a graphic designer. Use the image to the right as a reference. I want to see your design skills. This should represent you how you view yourself, as a designer. I hope to learn a lot about you through this process. Have fun! Step 3: In the same Google document, describe the software you chose to use. What did you like about it? Was it easy to use? Would you recommend it to the class?
