You will need a Zip disc, formatted for Macintosh, and should know how to access your student locker for backup storage. Please see me if you do not know how to get to your electronic locker. Color printing is available here in the Journalism School as well as at other Macintosh clusters around campus and at commercial printing stores. I-'ll tell you more about this as we move closer to the color assignments. If you opt to burn a CD for your portfolio project, you can do it here in Ernie Pyle Hall.
Writeable CDs are available at any office supply store.
Flexibility - As you can tell by my ideas for the first day of class, this is a very pliant course that hinges on the mood and availability of the equipment, the allotted time we have, and your cooperation. I will let you know about any changes in the course as I monitor your progress, work with your feedback and deal with the inevitable computer problems. The course has been designed so each new program builds on what we learned from the previous program. The bulk of the assignments will be in QuarkXPress, using the knowledge you gained in Illustrator and Photoshop and introducing you to the nuances of desktop publishing. Photoshop -Two basic assignments testing your skills in editing images, scanning and other specialties of the program, each worth 10 points.
