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:

Keep working on Project #1


...if you haven't already done so:
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.
