1.+Text+and+Images+in+Photoshop

= Welcome To Grade 7O Unit on Photoshop =

**Important Notice**: Seeing as the MS students will not be in the school from Nov. 11 to Nov. 13 our Graphics class will lose one period. I understand that you may not have Photoshop at home so this severly limits what you can do, however, there are still some things you can accomplish. For the next class after you return please review the assessed task outline found on the Text and Images in Photoshop page and research the three pictures you want to use. Also, draw a rough layout of the poster you want to make icluding where you want to put the pictures, where you want the text to go, what colours you want to use, etc. This will cut down the decision making time you have in class and allow you to properly finish the task at the scheduled time. Of course if you have Photoshop please fell free to begin working on it. **Good luck and take care of yourselves.**
