Creating a New Student

new_jim.jpgGrade 7 students will be creating a brand new classmate using the Clone Stamp tool in Photoshop Elements.

The aim of this exercise is not to create a monster, but rather to create a new person, cloned from parts of your existing classmates. There is a folder with the 7EX photos on your desktops.

Things to Remember
- Open up the photographs up from within Photoshop Elements instead of double-clicking on the photo in the folder.

- Set the brush size of your Clone Stamp tool to a size approprate to the pictures you are using.

- The Clone Stamp tool will not work properly unless you define a source point first. This is done by holding down the Alt key while clicking on the area you want to clone from.

Web Design - usability

mona.jpgFollowing on from todays class... I'd like you to post an example of a webpage you like and say why you think it is good. Bear in mind our conversation on usability and the oppostite extremes of Jacob Neilson and Yugo Nakamura.

You can try and find Nakamura's Monalisa on the original site. Why is this so cool if there's no content?
