Here is a link to an in class review: Review Activityfor the last two sections.

You will finish the rest of the videos through section 11 and then download your certificate before the end of class Friday.

Project Description

1. Create two side by side images to show before and after of using the touch up tool.

2. Create another Photoshop File that shows before and after for some filters that you find interesting.

3. Create a Photoshop document that displays how you use the Text Tool creatively (You can combine this with another of the files if you prefer).

4. Create a fourth file that displays your use of both brushes and vector shapes.

Add these last four example files to your Keynote Portfolio and be prepared to show them on Thursday.
