Final Course Summary

   I've learned in this class a lot of things and leave this class with a wealth of knowledge that is beneficial to me in future courses, internships, and various jobs. I became a lot more in depth in the processes of file management in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
    There are a lot of things that I like about this class, such as the projects we have done and this course really gives you real world experience in the way things are designed, processed, printed and distributed.
    My favorite project was the magazine and billboard project because I feel that I did particularly well with the designs of them both. However, all of the projects were very much a learning experience and feel that I have did well on all of them with designs and file management.
    Though I will miss this class, I'll take the knowledge from this class and apply it to my future projects pertaining to my degree and skills. 

Duotone In Photoshop CS5

  
Before
After

     The image is a four color raster and before getting your duotone raster, you must first discard all of the color from the photo by converting it into a greyscale raster. After, you are able to select the mode Duotone on the drop down menu under image mode. After, you are free to choose a color and black to create an image with class and color. 
This image was taken by me.
