Computer Applications: Goals We will focus on three major pieces of software: • Adobe Photoshop • To learn to import, paint and otherwise manipulate images • Microsoft Office: Powerpoint • To create visual presentations • Macromedia Dreamweaver • To learn to create web sites • To create a personal web site and get it on line
Attendance Policy • Consider Computer Applications a job. • One Free missed class • Grade goes down one letter grade for each unexcused missed class after one • More than 15 minutes late equals an absence
Project Lateness Policy No late projects will be accepted, however, I will gladly change grades for projects that are handed in on the due date and then improved later.
Turning in Homework • Homework will be turned in to the Computer Applications folder on the dc_02 server. • We will make sure that all of you have access to this folder (make your own folder inside the Computer Applications folder). • DO NOT email files to me. • If you cannot get onto the server, bring me a CD
Grading • Import: 5% • Selections (Hair Exchange): 5% • Layers, Selections, Transforms (Face): 5% • Personal Website Image: 10% • Correct and Alter a Photograph: 10% • Storyboard: 15% • Website: 45% • Class Participation: 5%

What is Photoshop for? • Two dimensional image manipulation and painting • Photographic corrections • Graphic design and printing applications
Image Manipulation Can Be Used in a Number of Ways for the Designer • Paint Elevations • Renderings • Model making • Lettering and Drafting Ideas • Show Photography • Portfolio • Web Publishing
Paint Elevations • Paint elevations can be done any number of ways in Photoshop. What follows are several ways that I have used the program on various productions:
Or design a backdrop! You can even start with a grainy image from the web: You’ll see This image Later in a Production Shot!
Renderings can be built out of paint elevations: Start with paint elevations:
Combine and add perspective and environment to describe a scene.
Other renderings from the same production: From paint elevation to renderings:
Scanning paint elevations can also make for a great color model: Start with the elevations:
Use Photoshop to create lettering or images you can trace or insert into your drafting: This photo can be traced into a drafting:
Create a Portfolio with Photoshop • Adjust photos • Add labels • Add borders and create a look • Create images of a uniform size
Renderings: • Start with a model photograph, for example:
Or compile multiple images: Start with:
Storyboards: • Start with a basic sketch:
Importing Images • From a scanner: • Import at the largest resolution you foresee needing.
