What to do Friday, November 22nd
Today you will continue to work on your Magazine Cover.
If you think you're done, you're not!!!
Remember when we discussed "Revisionism" in class when we were working on the "B-Movie Assignment". Every digital artist and designer goes through this process and you will too.
Open your Magazine Cover in Photoshop and go to "File", "Save As" and save it as _magazine2
Now change your Magazine Cover to be COMPLETELY different from your first version. You can use different imagery for your second version, but if you use the same imagery, you must change the placement and look entirely.
Both versions are to be turned into my "Classes", "Period 3" folder by the end of class today.
If you finish early, continue your research for your 12 page website.
