Exercise 1 finished


Housekeeping
Be sure and get familiar with the website.
You need to get a printing account from ACS to use the printers in this lab.
You need to get your Photoshop book and two Zip disks (suggest PC formatted) right away.
Tell me if you don't want your work archived at the end of the quarter.
Printing reminders - Guidelines are available from ACS, remember to select a printer by name, don't use a default.

 

Exercise #1 - Platonic Solids (cube, sphere, cone, cylinder) - Due at start of 2nd section
Check the syllabus for requirements and tutorials (links to tutorials are at the very bottom of the page)
I expect to see all of them in Photoshop, and at least an attempt at them in Illustrator.

Show it to me onscreen, have all the files open (just stack up the windows and close them as I see them) and have the layers pallet open.

Some hints: keep track of your layers -what order they are in and what layer you have selected, experiment with the gradient tool to get the effect you like, be sure you have a unix-friendly file name
