Web Design and Graphics

My classes

Here's examples of what I'm doing. Some of these links lead away and you'll have to use the Back button to get back.

Media 110 - Multimedia

Beginning Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I'm in love with Photoshop now! It was my first experience with the other two programs. The gallery's hosted at the school. If you notice they've taken it down let me know and I'll put it here instead

Media 111 - Multimedia

Another really great class with lots of fun assignments. We improved pictures in Photoshop, made some basic webpages in Dreamweaver and animated movies starting from scratch in Flash

Media 201 - Intermediate Photoshop

That was a great class! Just playing with Photoshop making pretty graphics. It's not just wasting time having fun, it IS what I was supposed to be doing!

Media 190 - Dreamweaver

There's not a lot to display from this class, as it was about the bones of web design, the HTML and CSS formatting. The stuff you usually only notice if some aspect of it has gone horribly wrong :-) But here's a bit of fun... Playing with Opacity which started out as an assignment for absolutely positioned boxes
Final exam for the class: Karen "Inskydoodles" artist home page
With a page banner made from samples of her work.

Media 204 - Illustrator

Illustrator is a vector drawing program. That means instead of moving groups of pixels around like Photoshop does, it draws lines mathematically, and fills them with colors or patterns. The drawings can be scaled to any size, large or tiny, without losing quality.

Media 202 - Advanced Photoshop

Lots of fun Photoshop projects. That was one of those great classes that made me glad to get up at five in the morning. It was originally hosted at Weebly, but I removed it because the thumbnail compression was so ugly. There's still two pages left at Weebly, one of Photography and one of Other Work.

Photography

Some pictures I've taken that make good wallpaper.

Here's some newer pics of flowers for wallpaper
