Channeling McLuhan into Photoshop

"The efficiency of the machine age cannot discover anything worthwhile now."
Marshall McLuhan, WIRED magazine interview
1. watch some videos from www.marshallmcluhanspeaks.com 

2. Look at some of your examples of mediums


setting up a document
Layers
image size
canvas size
selection tools.. filters, layer effects
cut/paste
cropping
save as .PSD
save for web and devices

4. Channeling McLuhan into Photoshop (progress due thur. 10th)
choose one of the three mediums you found from your previous assignment.
making the distinction between the content of your medium and how McLuhan would see the Message caused by this innovation


Create a New Photoshop Document at a minim 800 X 600 pixels, 72ppi, that composites 3-10, or more different images to create a .PSD that VISUALLY CONVEYS shows what effect or significance this medium's introduction had on society

SAVE YOUR PROJECT, RETAINING THE LAYERS AS A .PSD
SAVE THIS .PSD ON YOUR FLASH DRIVE AND BRING IN YOUR PROGRESS FOR NEXT CLASS.

so, for next class you need a your flash drive with .jpgs of mediums, and one .psd that has a composite of the .jpgs, we can continue the work on this next time.
