Welcome
"Photoshop is the leading digital image editing application for the Internet, print, and other new media disciplines. It is embraced by millions of graphic artists, print designers, visual communicators, and regular people like you. It's likely that nearly every picture you've seen (such as posters, book covers, magazine pictures, and brochures) has either been created or edited by Photoshop. The powerful tools used to enhance and edit these pictures are also capable for use in the digital world including the infinite possibilities of the Internet." University of Washington

Most people would agree that media has the power to influence culture. So how can students and educators take advantage of this power to make positive change to the culture of our schools? Here are a couple projects our
school is currently working on.
Painting with Photoshop
Wacom drawing tablets are essential for taking advantage of the new Mixer Brush and Bristle Tips in Adobe Photoshop. These new tools allow students an unprecedented ability to create natural and realistic painting effects on a computer. The new Mixer Brush lets you define multiple colors on a single tip to paint with subtle color blends, or you can use a dry brush to blend a photo’s colors to create a beautiful painting. New Bristle Tips enable you to easily paint with lifelike, naturally textured brush strokes using defined bristle properties like shape, length, and stiffness, and you can experiment away by adding Bristle Tips to a variety of Photoshop brush tools.
Adobe Photoshop for Video Production
Learn how to harness the power of Adobe Photoshop both as a tool to manipulate your video clips and to build art work that you can incorporate into your video projects.
Participants will be able to focus on a range of learning objectives that include:
•Opening video clips in Adobe Photoshop and applying a variety of filters, effects, blend modes and layer masks.
•Building artwork to incorporate into video production projects such as lower third title overlays, logos and other visual elements. We will also cover layer organization and how to import/manage the layers once you bring them into a video editor like Adobe Premiere.
•Building DVD menus with buttons that you can import into Adobe Encore
•Building DVD labels and game/jewel case covers.
Digital Photographic Novels with Adobe Photoshop
A friend recently sent me a link to an online comic book called http://www.nightzero.com/. I was so inspired by the idea I talked with my Digital Imaging students and they liked the idea of making their own digital comic books. Now we are using this technique in our digital signage system to educate our peers about important topics like recycling. Your students will love creating graphic novels with their digital cameras and a little Photoshop magic. This project is a great way to incorporate reading, writing and team work into your graphic design curriculum.
