I have edited the link for the Photoshop assignment. You should be able to access it now. (posted Sunday a.m.)

I have reached The Paley Center and we are set for our tour on Nov. 6. We will be in an auditorium from 2:30 through 4:30 and we will watch two presentations that their staff has put together:

  • An Advertising Album 1950–2004 A Museum-produced compendium of iconic television commercials from 1950 to 2003, with one ad from every year. (52 minutes).
  • Super Bowl: Super Showcase for Commercials This Museum-produced tape is a compendium of memorable television ads that have premiered on Super Bowls since 1984, the year the game emerged as the premier showcase for new television commercials. (compilation; 66 minutes).
  •  
  • After the two tapes, you will be free to look around the museum on your own.After the presentations, you will have some time to look at the museum's exhibits and its research facilities.
  • Today in class we heard two presentations, one from Jonathan and the other from Kelli and Colleen
  • After the two questions were presented, we looked at the font selection for the quotes students had chosen.
  • The instructor told students the midterm was supposed to be this week but since she did not tell students about it with enough notice, it will be scheduled for Nov. 11. It will be over the book chapters to date.
  • Note:  next week there will be no class because of the class trip to The Paley Center.
