We're on to week 3 in Cathy Zielske's Design Your Life class, and I have just finished the week 2 assignments. I've taken a lot of online courses but this rates in the top 2. Barbara Carroll's Photo 101 class on BPS was another fabulous class where I learned so much. Cathy's class is on graphic design principles. We're working from sketches which is really pretty unusual for me. Getting the measurements just right is proving to be a time consumer, but I'm happy with the results. The first two are based on asymmetrical design principles, and the third one is the weekly Real World Color assignment.

I've never cut photos in the gutter before. We're using 3-ring binders and I'm not sure I like it as much once it's in the album.

I'm learning a lot from the message board as well. Cathy provides pdf. files for the journaling boxes (as well as other goodies.) This week I learned that I can drag the pdf. file into Photoshop Elements and change it, write on it, whatever . . .

I got this assignment just before we left last weekend to spend some time with my brother and nieces. They were great about letting me take their pictures, and helping me with the journaling. I doubt that my own two children would be as cooperative, although in fairness, they are more tolerant now that they are older.
