Some info for next class:

- Since we are on a Monday schedule next week, there will be no 2D Imaging class next Wednesday, Feb. 20th.

- Your Assignment #1 will be due the following week, Feb 27.

For this assignment, you'll have completed THREE images that you deem 'final'. They can all be interrelated, or remixed from one another, but they must each be substantially different. You can decide how: mood, meaning, etc behind each one.

From these three final images, choose the one you feel is the 'best' or most successful. When you present the three images in class, we can talk about what 'best' means. We will discuss aesthetic criteria, as ell as ideas behind images.

This will lead us to Assignment #2, where we will produce two image: an advertisement and an artwork. More on that later. 

I will also demonstrate several nifty tools that came new with CS5: the 'Spot Healing Brush' and the 'Context Aware' set of parameters.
