Exercise 2
FOCUS Typography in Photoshop
PURPOSE Show your highest level of skill in creating typographic images for the Web.
VALUE 2 points (see Grading): 1 point for originality and the overall appearance, 1 point for technical proficiency.
DETAILS The exact assignment will be given to you during class. To prepare, you should review these:
- Antialiasing (Photoshop)
- Image Size (Photoshop; Image menu)
- Pixels vs. inches (Photoshop)
- Layer styles (Photoshop)
- "Save for Web" (Photoshop; File menu)
- GIF vs. JPG
I say "review" because all of this was covered in MMC 3260/5015, the prerequisite for this course. If you need help, please come and see me in my office in the week PRIOR TO the class meeting in which you will complete this exercise.
See a comparison of a GIF and a JPG.
