Use your remaining time wisely

Photography students, there is very little time left before the end of the year which means you
need to put some focus into getting your work completed. Next Friday will be the deadline for all term 3
Incompletes. If the work is not completed by then, the grade will be changed to an F. Over the next
couple of days, I am expecting you to work on the following:

1. Written photography assignment (see handout for details, and it must be typed)

2. Photostory slideshow: I do not want to hear " I have it at home, or all my photos are on my
computer at home." Get them on a jump drive and bring them to school so I can see what you
are up to. I expect to see you working on it at school, so I know that you did the work. Make
sure you find appropriate music which is an mp3 file. The program will not accept mp4 format.

3. Save your best photo on the photostorage folder. Make sure if you are pulling from Flickr
you go to all sizes and choose the largest size. You will then bring your photo into Photoshop 
and resize ( no larger than 8 x10). Using the text tool put your name onto your photo in the
bottom left or right hand corner. PLease use white or black font. Then go to file save as and
save the file as your name. After you do this, you can copy the photo to photostorage.

4. Do not forget about your lasso/photoshop assignment where you had to take a person and put them into a new background. It should be handed in already.

5. Organize all of your photos on Flickr, so you will be ready to start marking next week.

That's all folks!!
