Assignment
Your prompt is 'Fall' Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create a two-frame/drawing/composition story for next week.
- You will upload TWO photoshop files for class next week.
- You tasked to draw using traditional methods (paper, scan, prep, and color in Photoshop).

- Duplicate the file and modify the parts/pieces to create a 2nd Photoshop file that works in conjunction with the first panel to tell a story.
- You don't have to use EVERY object in both files, but I expect that both files will share 80% of the assets.
- You can scale, rotate, recolor, duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
- You should be using groups within Photoshop to keep things organized.
Upload for class next week
- Two LAYERED photoshop files.
