A crash course in Photoshop techniques and theory. We will start with the basics of the program and speed on to advanced to techniques and world replication.

It's an unpredictable world out there, and you need to be ready for anything! This class will teach you all the knots that you need to get yourself out of a tight spot or to fix a problem in tension!

Good design allows people to interact with objects, environments, and ideas in an easy, efficient manner, and it allows the world to work both smoothly and elegantly. The class will strengthen your ability to intuitively understand how to design well and how to bring good design to your projects. It will partly cover technical skills like type layout and color spaces and partly cover more abstract ideas, such as "the nature of design".

Are you not content with just "living your life", oblivious to the terrors happening around the world every day? Have no fear! This class will cover the past week's world news, keeping YOU updated! Each week's class will be taught by a different teacher and will cover different areas of interest.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many thousands of years of compounded technology goes into making even the simple things in our modern world? This class will show how to deconstruct simple items into a vast, almost infinitely detailed web of technologies, built one upon another, resulting in a huge amount of information and history stemming from something as simple as an incandescent light bulb.

Adobe Photoshop Photoshop is one of the most powerful digital artist tools and one of the most popular pieces of software in the graphics industry. This class intends to quickly cover the basics of Photoshop, then move onto advanced techniques, with a possible concentration in the details of reality, the thinking behind beautification and manipulation of photographs, and the replication of the natural world.

Photoshop is one of the most used graphics programs out there for everything from simple photo editing, to interface design, to scientific imaging, and on. However, many people find it very difficult to absorb all of the monolithic program which is Photoshop, understand every tool and effect, and learn its secrets. That is where this class comes in. This class will cover numerous techniques and genres of Photoshop (art)work, starting with navigating around Photoshop (CS, CS2, or CS3), applying simple transformations, effects, and filters, creating composite images, hand-simulating effects, and will end with more advanced topics like interface design, heavy composites, and design ideology. This is not a basics class, and will become quite advanced, but beginners will be able to follow the lessons.
