11-8-10: Technical difficulties

Well, due to unforseen technical difficulties, like my car needing an emergency serpentine belt tensioner replacement (shown at left), I won't be in class tonight. However, I encourage you to use your time wisely and stick around during class time (if we could persuade Miss Chipps to be our lab tech) to learn a little about Adobe InDesign.

Our class tonight was going to be going over the basics of Adobe's page-layout program: InDesign. Just because I'm not there, doesn't mean you can't learn about it. Have a look at this series of video tutorials from Adobe's website. You'll only need to watch episodes GS-01 through GS-07. We won't be messing with the later stuff in our class, like adding interactivity, motion or outputting for the web.

So, get acquainted with InDesign so you can hit the ground running next week when we start working on our first InDesign project!

For those of you who needed to turn in late work, you just gained an extra week. So everyone had better be caught up by next weeks class!

HOMEWORK:

• Watch GS-01 through GS-07 Adobe InDesign video tutorials.

• Bring in all unfinished work to class on 11-15-10
