Moorpark College Graphic Design

We begin the process of learning how to capture images and manipulate them in Photoshop. Discussion and hands-on exercises explore:

• Digital cameras
• Photoshop’s work environment
• Color Modes/Models
• Resolution – ppi, dpi, lpi
  
• Masks & Simple Selections
• Tools & Palettes
• Brushes
• Color Picker
• Introduction to layers
  
• Printing from Photoshop overview
• The Journal

Using techniques reviewed in this week’s class, create a self-portrait and attach it to your email attendance. You will be creating a “quick” self-portrait for each class session. By the end of the semester your will have enough images to “fill a book.” Each of these “sketches” should be quick, taking only 10-15-minutes or less. If you want to spend additional time on your sketches, you may. The sketches will serve multiple purposes throughout the semester, so it is important that you participate…it is part of your attendance grade.

1. The sketches demonstrate that you participated in classroom exercises and activities.
2. The sketches, being self-portrait in nature, and using classroom techniques, give you the opportunity to practice what you are learning.
3. The sketches help to identify your email in a unique and personal manner.
4. You will use these sketches as part of your library of images that you will use to explore future assignments.
5. Print a copy of your sketch for your journal.
