Hi guys,

After today you will be creating pages for a picture book that we will be giving to our school's LYFE center. Today however we are going to learn the ropes by copying the yellow sneaker example, and if you have time, the Orange Ernie page.

Your homework for this weekend is to find 3 high quality images you'd like to be included in this picture book. Remember that you will be isolating one object in this image so make sure this item is appropriate for a child's picture book.

subject of email: yellow sneaker / orange ernie

Good luck!

Mr Evans has expressed an interest in being included in this poster. Give him an unusual complexion! (I think he said he wants to be a hot pink!)

assignment: color change (day 2)

Learning Objective:

Students will modify the color of an object or area by experimenting with hue and saturation levels to a minimum of 5 images.

Hello Graphic Designers,

I apologize for being absent from school today as I am home with my kids who are sick with a cold. Today I want to you practice changing the color of objects using the skills I taught yesterday. Experiment with logos and your favorite cartoon and video game characters.

I'll see you tomorrow!

Your assignment is to change the color of an object or area in at least 5 different images.

Use the magic wand, magnetic lasso or quick selection tool to select an area first if needed.

Press Ctrl + U to adjust the color.

MAGIC WAND

Remember to contiguous means TOUCHING.

Uncheck "contiguous" to select all of ONE color in an image when using the magic wand.

Submit all your work in a single email. In the body of your email, include a reflection statement on today's project. ("One things I liked was...., I wonder..., One question I still have about this is....,)

The subject of your email should be Color change by [your name]
