Back to School



I'm so excited! Someone told me about this internet group that is a teaching group for PSP. They call it PSP University. I signed up, figuring what do I have to lose? It's a teaching group, and it's free, two of my favorite combinations in PSP land. ;)

The group is set up with classes. Undergrad, freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. With lots of classes within each of those categories. You start at the beginning and work your way through. Cool! The undergrad courses focus a lot on the basics with being copyright compliant. Boy, where was that a couple months ago, when I was screwing up right and left, huh? LOL!

I started with the undergrad classes, and in one night (okay, it was a long night sitting up worried about a loved one in the hospital, and no work to go to in the morning), I zipped through all eight of the undergrad classes. So far, I've passed them all! Yay! And they sent me the final exam yesterday. I took it and submitted my test. Now I just have to wait until Monday to see if I passed. (Bummer, they don't grade on weekends. You know, like they have a life outside of the internet or something. LOL.) Yeah, yeah. I know. Normal people don't live on the internet like I do, ROFL. I'll have to be patient.

This is so much fun. I'm in heaven. They taught me how to make a watermark, and explained some things about who to credit and how, that I was fuzzy on. Far out!

I'm posting my final exam submissions with this entry. Or at least the creative portions. There is a written portion, too. (Not to worry, they prepare you well for it.) I won't explain what I was supposed to do, but you can see what it looks like. I could have done it incorrectly, I don't know yet. I'll keep you posted. But I liked how they turned out! One, I plan on using for a while. It makes me smile. :)

Shoot, Marquette was never this much fun!

Preset Shape from a Dingbat Tutorial

Image
I enjoyed learning this. I was to find a dingbat font, and use one of the dingbats to create a preset shape. The dingbat challenge is to help us figure out how to make scrapbook kits, papers, elements, etc. I’m not sure yet how I’ll use it, but it’s good to know anyway. At least now I know there are preset shapes in there, and how to find them. You can find dingbat fonts (free!) that will provide you with most any shape you can imagine. So my first step was to go seeking dingbats. I found lots of them. One that I wanted to try had several different bunnies on it. (I like bunnies a lot, and I collect bunnies.) Then I followed the tutorial to create a preset shape. You discovered in my last two posts that I could use a preset shape to cut out a photo, so I tried the process again. Practice makes perfect, right? There wasn't any purpose to using a bunny font, but hey, I like bunnies so what the heck. It's just for learning purposes. Yes, I entered it as a challenge su

Uber Newbie

I'm trying out a new hobby. I'm playing around with photo editing software, to learn how to create siggys. I have been dying to learn this, and now I've joined some tutorial groups in hopes of figuring this stuff out. My first tutorial was to learn how to make a very basic siggy. It was fun to play with. Now, I was just playing with the stuff built into the program - nothing fancy. But it was fun! And I came up with something that I didn't think was hideous. The software is already getting a little less scary. Maybe I'll be able to get this figured out one of these days. But for now, baby steps.
