Fantastic Work. Hope you enjoyed the workshop!

Hi guys I hope that you enjoyed the lessons using photoshop. I think your designs are excellent. Well done!!
You need to keep practising the things that you learnt so that you are familiar with how it works. The best way to do that is to set yourself a task and try using the tools. If you didn't finish your leaflet today complete it in your own time and then show me what you have done.
A big Thank you to Mr Crompton.
I need to have a copy of your work to post it on the blog so that you can all see each others reponses to the brief. Once I have done this you will need to comment on each others work.
Our next get together will be on Wednesday 1st July when we will be learning about blogging and podcasting.

Preparation for photoshop work shop

To prepare for next year we are starting with a work shop on using photoshop with Mr Crompton. The first unit of work we will be introducing is Scene which will look at the Creative and Media Scene in your area. We are including the whole of the North West as our area for Scene. You will need to investigate your area and make sure that you visit as many places as possible. The summer holidays are an ideal time to do plenty of research!!

Before Thursday 25th June collect images of a local gallery or theatre. The most successful way of doing this is by visiting it and photographing it, together with collecting leaflets Etc. If you can't visit make sure that you copy images from the internet.
You will need to research your chosen building so that you know what happens there and some of its functions/history.

During the photoshop session you will be producing a flyer/leaflet about your chosen building which will include both images and text.
Suggested places to visit:- The Lowery, Urbis, Bolton Museum, Turton Tower, Manchester City Art Gallery etc.
