Day 61 - Tuesday 12.17.2012

Graphics 1 - Continue our demo of the Snowboarder POSTER project.  You may use the images in the tutorial or your own, however, you must be sure the images are HIGH RESOLUTION.  It is a PHOTOSHOP project, but many of the VECTOR shapes can be made in ILLUSTRATOR.

Graphics 2 - I will demo the exercises in the FACIAL RETOUCH pdf. Use SAFARI rather than FIREFOX as the photo links only work in SAFARI.  You will be shown multiple ways to do the same technique (i.e. red eye, soft skin, etc.). I would like you to post 1 of each technique to your BLOG. Do not short change yourself, as the SKULLFACE project coming up requires you to know all of these techniques.
