For Monday, October 25th

Hi Guys! In drawing we were talking about going ahead and purchasing "YourName.com" and sitting on it if you need to, if an actual website is still far off in your future. Grabbing your domain while you can is a good idea in today's web marketing environment. I asked Mr. Webb if he had a favorite place to buy domains and he said he likes http://cheapdomains.com/. I don't believe this is a hosting company - but purely a domain purchasing site.

To both classes - Gather all your projects for this semester together and bring them to class on Wednesday. We'll decide which projects will become your "Final Five" for the semester!

3010 - Monday we'll go over your Macy's Day parade (from above) images. You were already showing good progress today so I'm excited to see what you do. Remember - you are the stage director. Plan your lighting consciously! You'll turn your finals in first thing Wednesday.
     I've posted the image of a wine bottle which reflects the light source as both a hard shape and also as a gradient - as we discussed in class.
Per Copyright: Ryan and all - here is a site with copyright free images you can use on blogs, etc. without worry: Wikimedia Commons. Along that line, I've also posted the link to my own copyright guidelines (click the Angel). You should click through on the "Orphan Works" link as that is especially relevant to the topic we discussed. Also, here are YouTube's Terms - #6 especially pertains to our discussion. By posting a video on YouTube, you are promising it is yours to share, and that you are giving users permission to share through YouTube's embed function. Vimeo doesn't offer an embed feature (if I remember correctly), so you have to link to a video on their site (I think).

3050 - Monday we'll go over your "Texas State Fair: Rattlesnake Round-up" t-shirt and do more work on them. They'll be due first thing Wednesday.
     Bianka - here's the link to Mingei World Arts. They carry a lot of Day of the Dead items.
