Tutorial Instructions

A minimum of 10 tutorials are required to pass this project. Your Portfolio will be weighted as 2 daily grades. You may use photobucket pictures, google pictures, or I can take a picture of you.

Let me know when you have finished and turned in ALL tutorials and reflections. Your Mid-term Finals Portfolio will be due at the end of your block day this week, December 12/13th. Create a folder in your 3rds 6 weeks folder called Finals Portfolio. All work MUST be turned-in AND in your correct folder to get credit.

Tutorials are to be completed using Adobe Photoshop. In most cases you will watch the video, and do the tutorials, create a file. Save the file as your last name_final1.doc, last name_final2.doc, etc. in your finals folder, till you have all 10.

Then write notes (a reflection) in a Word document that summarizes the technique and what you learned from the tutorial. Put the picture you created in the word document and save in your finals folder. Each document should be labled 1 - 10. See example. Please turn in each of your assignments as you do them.

Summarizing: Your Mid-term Finals Portfolio should include 10 tutorial pictures (completed) and 10 word documents with your images and reflections included. Your word documents should be printed to the color printer (4500) and turned in as they are completed.
