Here's something new:

ACTIONS...
- You can try using the Actions Window in Photoshop to record what you do.
- After recording any image size changes, you can replay them...
- Then you can go to: File, Automate, Batch...
- You can apply these actions to a folder filled with images files
- And, save yourself hours of time, by not having to reopen, resize, rename, and re-save all your images

HOMEWORK:



(If you haven’t done so already… )
Start by picking a subject and/or artists.
Choose a title for the exhibition, find or make up a location, and start making sketches for the website. 
Please have some (approximately 10) images to work with.
You could also find a video or two (on YouTube or Vimeo).

When planning your CSS styles, start by coming up with a limited color palette.
Think about how the overall color scheme can complement the artwork that you will be displaying on the webpage.  

- familiarize yourself with HTML & CSS, start planning the website
- do some research 
- get (or make) digital images of artwork

This week:

- finish a draft of the project (that means completed html pages w/ css)
