 * Mr. May is away this week - and it's up to YOU to follow the instructions on this wiki and learn how to draw in PHOTOSHOP. If something in the wiki instructions confuses you use these three steps IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
 * READ FIRST - make sure you're reading ALL the instructions - read carefully, and go step by step! Use some imagination and TRY to find a way to make the instructions work! Remember to undo (CTRL-Z) if something goes wrong.
 * CONSULT [F1] - The Help menu is only a click away - try a search for a term you're looking for ans see if it can offer some clues
 * CONSULT A CLASSMATE - see if anyone else is able to complete that step - ask them how!
 * POST A DISCUSSION - at the top of each wiki page is a "discussion" tab - if you STILL have a question, or have a tip to solve one, please post it here - Mr. May will check to see how things are going
 * Here are TODAY'S instructions:
 * All the Right Type - 10 minutes

 * Tuesday

 * Complete and hand in your Photoshop Happyfaces

 * Photoshop Happyfaces: Most students have completed and handed in the exercise, but unfortunately most did NOT get the sizes right. Remember, the NEW canvas you make should be 400pixels wide x 300 pixels tall and 72 DPI. The students who got it RIGHT were:
 * BTT1O.04: Nick R, Cat T and Ken W
 * BTT1O.05: Victoria A, Jessica B, Matt C, Matt D, Shawn F and Dan G
 * All others should REDO the exercise - this time making a "Bad Attitude Face" - pay particular attention to getting the dimensions right. Hand in the file to the same "Happy Face" folder - Hand them in as PNG graphics only!
 * Photoshop File Format exercise: Most students have to complete this exercise - try to get it done TODAY! If you were one of the students who DIDN'T get the dimensions right (as indicated above) you may have to redo this exercise as well - the "flaws" only show up on "low res" images.
