The Final Tally

Well I've started the class. It's been a bit rough keeping up as I haven't been feeling well the past little while, but so far, I'm working pretty steadily on the different projects.

It's neat format. Each day, participants get an e-mail with basic info on what needs to be done/learned/practiced that day and that links to the class page, where more information is posted.

The classes run in two-day cycles. The first day relates to writing - with simple exercises to get us writing about different things, or using different approaches as a starting point. The content we work on this day will relate to the layout we complete on Day 2.

On Day 2, we get a template to work with, and quite a few video instructions showing some very cool techniques or tricks for Photoshop Elements or the full-size versions of those programs. We can pick our own photos, and use the papers provided in the class kit, or we can use our own papers from our own digital stashes.

It's been fun chatting online with some of the other people taking the class (people from all over the world), and seeing the work that people have been doing.




Here's my own take on the first page's layouts. You can click the image to see a larger version.
