Post 1 - Post 5 websites that you use on a regular basis. Make them links if you can.Additional Assignments:
Post 2 - Post one of images you scanned after scaling, optimizing and saving for web.
Post 3 - Answer the following questions: What is compression and why do we use it? What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?
Post 4 - Take the scan (the one you posted last week) and apply a filter or a glazing layer on it to make it into a "background" image.
Post 5 - [you should have a classmates "one a day" from last week] Use the your selection tools to cut out an "object" and apply it to a new layer. Use the brush tool (opacity, textures and scale) to "recreate" the object on another layer (this was the day we used the fish)
Post 6 - [you should have a classmates "one a day" from last week] Use the complex selection processes we learned (extract, quick selection) to isolate, select and add an "object" from one of your online images (the images you are gathering for the "Documentation and Annotation" project) to the "One a Day" image you downloaded in class.
Post 7 - Post your Documentation and Annotation video here.
Post 8 - Post a link to your Documentation and Annotation Flickr or Photobucket site
Post 9 - Post an image of your flickr map that is a link to the flickr map OR embed your google map (again part of the documentation and annotation project)
- Set up a file storage system of folders to use for the class

- Have a minimum of 20 images on your flickr or other online photography management tool. They should all be tagged, named and commented. If your site does not have "comments" you must add, by using the URL image option, 5 images to your blog and comment on them there.

One has noticed the escape hatches in the floors of inter-city buses and inquired about their relation to escape hatches in the roofs of new school buses. Another has reported a clutch of Virginia-Kentucky barns in an Idaho valley and wonders if the structures suggest a migration pattern. A third has found New York City limestone facades eroding and is trying to see if limestone erodes faster on the shady sides of the street. A fourth has noticed that playground equipment has changed rapidly in the past decade and wonders if children miss galvanized steel jungle gyms. Another has been trying to learn why some restaurants attract men and women of certain professions and repel others, and another has found a pattern in coffee shop location. Yet another reports that he can separate eastbound and westbound passengers at O’Hare Airport by the color of their raincoats.What is a taxonomy? (READ LINKED ARTICLE)
One of the most common strategies for organizing content is to place it in a taxonomy. A taxonomy is a hierarchical tree structure such as those used in scientific classification schemes. For example, the taxonomy for organizing all living things has 7 taxons, or levels: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Since a taxonomy is hierarchical, each living thing (each species) is organized under a particular genus, which in turn is organized under a particular family, which in turn is organized under a particular order, and so on up the tree.Here is an example of the most common taxonomy that we are all familiar with.
From: Folksonomies: A User-Driven Approach to Organizing Content
OK, so I get taxonomy, but what is Folksonomy and how does it relate to the project? In many of the online management systems you will be experimenting with, there is a system of tags. You will use these tags as a way to create your own way of organizing your documentation.So what exactly are tags? A simple definition would be to say that tags are keywords, category names, or metadata. In essence, a tag is simply a freely chosen set of textual keywords. However, because tags are not created by information specialists, they do not at present follow any ubiquitous formal guidelines. This means that items can be categorised with any word that defines a relationship between the online resource and a concept in the user's mind. Any number of words might be chosen, some of which are obvious representations, others making less sense outside the tag author's context.Still have questions?

- Create a system of folders to use for the class on your laptop, drop/send or thumb drive.
- Create a parent folder called “CA_Fall07” to contain all other folders and files.
- With in CA_Fall07, create a folder called “Images” to hold all raw data, photos, scans, etc.
- With in CA_Fall07, create a folder called “Projects,” to house all complete and in-process project.
- Create a Text Edit document to track all of your user names and passwords – name of your choice.
