• Possible Photoshop Lesson on Extracting Images
• Pass back Document #1--issues from two weeks ago
• 5182 Projects (let's talk at the end of class)

Chapter 5: Pages

Let's head back to two weeks ago and figure out what we missed for Ch. 5 in Document Design and Ch. 5 in The Non-Designer's Design Book.

Leading Class Discussion on Type

Now, let's get Andrea up here, so she can tell us a little bit about Derrida.

Typography Intro

I have a page for us about Typography, so let's head on over.

Bonus Assignments for 5182 Students

I want to talk to the 5182 group about their bonus assignments, so those of you enrolled in 4182 aren't responsible for these. Check out the Assignments Page--Leading Class Discussion and Bibliographic Essay.

Next Class

Make sure you read Chapters 9, 10, and 11 inin The Non-Designer's Design Book before coming to class in next week (10/22). I have us down for cover type over two classes because I thought we might need a chance to catch up. If we didn't get to our group work on type tonight, bring your typefaces in next week. Remember to find exotic ones--no Times New Roman or Arial.
