Assignment
There is no official drawing assignment this week. There are, however a few things I expect you all to investigate and/or think about. We will discuss these as a group next week:
- Please log into your SVA Adobe Creative Cloud account. Get it set up on all of your devices, make sure you can download and install the basic tools like Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign.
- On your iPad, please install the following Adobe applications (some are also available on your phone):
- Spend some time evaluating your current computer situation and what you might want to change in the next 3 months. If it's a list, write it down and be prepared to share it.
- Come up with one good question to ask me at the start of class next week.
