THU-FRI: Photoshop Portfolio Workshop Time

You have FIVE Classes to complete 

your Photoshop Portfolio

 **The REQUIRED Images

Work Order:

• First: Figure out which REQUIRED Photoshop images you have already done
• Students who have been keeping up will likely have at least 6 of the 9 images already done
• Second: Figure out which of the ones that you have already completed need to be worked on some more.  
• Third: Think about which independent projects you are going to attempt 
• 1 for a "B", 2 or more for higher than a "B"
• Fourth: Plan out your time for the next six classes 
• Plan how you are going to accomplish the goals you set out for yourself in the 2nd and 3rd steps.
• Last: Get to work
• ReWorking or completing old REQUIRED PORTFOLIO projects
• Conceiving and completing your independent projects
• Exporting JPG's of your completed Portfolio Images
• Uploading the required files to the correct Google Classroom Assignment.

HOW you get HELP! 

• First: Ask yourself for help first
• Try to figure it out, if you learned the skill you can solve the puzzle!
• Look at the PSD you already did that includes that skill - it migh jog your memory!
• Use your resources; go back and watch the part of the tutorial for the skill you are struggling with; Google your problem and see if the answer pops up!
• Second: Quietly ask others in your POD if they can help you
• Third: Call John over for a consultation

Remember: 
BACK-UP your files & RESTART your computer @ the END of the class

Announcements:

• All work is due Friday, April 19th
