Computer Games at School

From the Announcements


Computer Games at School 
Students should NOT be playing games on the computer during the school day. If all your work is complete, game playing will be allowed the last 10 minutes of a study hall period. The MRC computers cannot be used for computer games at anytime during the school day because of students taking college online courses. Student's who are playing games on the computer that are NOT instructor approved and/or are before the last 10 minutes of the class period will forfeit internet privilege for a 1 month period. If internet use is required for a class you may want to give serious thought to computer game playing before the acceptable time.

Tilts----



Various Work-----

How To Create a TILT

Tilts are when a photo leans just a little bit.  This effect is often used in contemporary design.

How to make a TILT

Step 1:  Open photo in Photoshop

Step 2:  On the LAYERS MENU, double click on 'background layer' so that it becomes "layer 0"

Step 3:  IMAGE> ROTATE CANVAS> ARBITRARY> 5 degrees CW or CCW (depending on which way you want it to tilt)

Step 4:  Save As>   Add the word "tilt" to the title

FORMAT: TIFF

Make sure you select  "SAVE TRANSPARENCY" in the format options.

Reading and Assignment

Try two... Hopefully their blog won't be down today.
