Getting Images Ready for Your Portfolio

Over the next few weeks you will build a portfolio to showcase the work you have done in EDIT 2000. We will begin today by creating a menu page and learn how to edit images for your autobiography page.

We will use Fireworks, a photo editing tool. It allows you to manipulate images and create images for the Web. Don't forget to take a look at some of the portfolio samples from past classes to get some ideas.

You may want to download the 30-day trial of Fireworks and Dreamweaver. It is expected that you work on some of this outside of class. The following places on campus also have Dreamweaver on them: 228 Aderhold, 216 Ramsey Center, and the Student Learning Center.

On Thursday we will begin to create the pages for your portfolio. WebQuests are due Thursday at the beginning of class - you will save an electronic copy of the teacher and student pages to the dropbox. (If you have not completed a peer review or had one completed for your WebQuest - you will need to arrange this on your own before Thursday - see last Thursday's blog posting for additional information).
