Week 1 Bio/Fotothing

My fotothing acct is: William1284

Dots

CS2 Installer

Is anyone else having issues installing the CS2 program for photoshop?  I've been trying to do it since last night and it downloads halfway then stops.  So far I only have CD 1 downloaded and only part of CD 3.  CD 2 does not seem to be working at all for me....

BIO

Hello everyone,

 My name is Dakota and I'm currently a full-time night student here at Albertus. I have a little over a year left to go. I'm currently a business finance major. My plans are either to work for a corporation or to start my own corporation in the entertainment industry. One of my favorite quotes is if you do what you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life.

Presently, I work as a per-diem case manager for the Recovery Network of Programs. They specialize in transitional housing working with resident with co-occurring disorders(mental health and addiction). I also just recently started an internship at the Bridgeport Housing Authority. My belief is that you can never learn enough.

I look forward to this class and learning more about the arts and ideas.

Intro

Hey guys...my name is Christina. I am a senior at Albertus and will be graduating in May. Can't wait! I'm a Promotional Communications major and I have taken a few other classes with Jerry. Hope this one is just as good!

I had blogger send you an invitation to your email address... open the email and click on the link inside to bring you to a sign in page for the blog.  This time, use your same Albertus log in and we shouldn't have any issues with posting.

Click on the link to the blog from the last time this was offered in ADP at the top of the syllabus to get a feel for the projects.

Here is a video I created on how to post to the class blog for newbies... http://jnevins.com/howtopost.htm

You will post 4 of your examples of your work for the current work along with some commentary and will put the balance of your work on your free fotothing.com account... http://fotothing.com

Email me with any questions!  There are only 4 in the class and this ist below the cutoff for a viable class ... but I decided to do this anyway as a tutorial.

Looking forward to working with you!

Best,

Jerry
