Friday Posting

For your "Letters of your Name" assignment, you will be using photoshop to edit the letters of your name from images you find on the internet. You are required to have a minimum of 14 letters so you will have to use your first and last name, you may need to include your middle name as well. Save the edited photo using "Save to Web" and post it on your blog in a table. You can have a table made for you at http://www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables. Copy the table from this website and paste it in the HTML of your new post. Put each picture between the <td>'s and <th>'s of the HTML.

Photoshop is a simple to learn, and quick to use photo editing application that costs $10 monthly for an annual plan, or $119 if you pay it all at once. Photoshop has very many features that allow you to do anything you want with a photo, because of this it is used by many professional photo editors. 

Here are 5 Photoshop tools i have used for my assignment.
1. Lasso 
2. Eraser 
3. Crop
4. Quick Selection
5. Pen

Photoshop makes things simple by assigning keyboard short-cuts, here are 5, followed by the keys they are assigned to.

Switch between open documents      Ctrl-Tab
Undo                                              Ctrl-Alt-Z
Lasso Tool                                      L

Once you are done an assignment you will need to put it on your blog. You can make an account on blogger.com and you can create several blogs from this account, each semester you take the course you will need to make a new blog. There is a text option and HTML option for each blog that you post, its not often that you will be using HTML.

There is a Layout section of your blog that is used to design where things on your blog are located, from here you can change the header, add or remove gadgets, and change things like the Header, Footer and sidebar.

The HTML section of each post is used for HTML code, it is most commonly used to create tables in this course.
