I teach digital photography, and usually during the course of the semester, several students will try and pass-off an image downloaded from the internet as their own work. Solution? upload the image in question to: TinEye.com and within seconds, the internet source of the image is revealed.

BEFORE I resort to using TinEye, it is very quick to check for the camera settings using Adobe Bridge...just look at the data in: File Properties, Camera Data, and IPTC Core. If those windows look fishy or a d...See more

This is a Powerpoint presentation I recently shared with teachers in Australia via an adobe Connect session. The presentation documents how I teach kinetic typography to my grade 11 animation classes. They are totally new to kinetic typography but they have had prior experience with Photoshop and Flash, the software I use for kinetic typography. It walks you through...

This is a terrific project for teaching students about layers, pasting-into, Kuler, creating patterns, and thinking three-dimensionally in Photoshop and/or InDesign. This is a project that I have used successfully for years in my classroom. It is always a big hit with the kids, too. The zip file contains Instruction sheet, rubric, InDesign template, Photoshop template, and a .pdf showing just a few of students' solutions to the design problem. Enjoy!

This resource .zip file contains the assignment InDesign file with instructions and rubric, a .PDF file with interactive links to resources on David Hockney, and an .idml file of the assignment instructions (for InDesign versions before CS6). This has been a very successful project in my classroom. The sample file shown was created by one of my students. Please customize for your needs. Let me know how it works for you! Any suggestions are encouraged!

Every week, students will upload (to their individual Google Sites) 2 photographs for their chosen theme. At the end of the semester students will create an Acrobat Portfolio.

Included in the .zip files is the assignment InDesign file, InDesign Markup File (for versions before CS6), and a .pdf file. Customize to suit your needs.

Everyone has a favorite book - whether it is a beloved story read by parents or a gripping novel. Using the idea spawned by the American Library Association some 20 years ago, students create photographs that will reflect the concept of a specific fiction, non-fiction, or children's book.

This simple file teaches beginners how to scan a photo into Photoshop CS6 step by step.

This is a FormsCentral design template of an exam given to my Beginning Digital Photography students. The questions are very basic. To use the template, open FormsCentral and go to File>Open and select the FCDT file. You can revise it completely to suit your needs. I have also included a .pdf version of the form.

I am trying to figure out what order is the best way to learn everything Adobe. I have started with Photoshop, Illustrator, and In Design. Where should I go next, and what is the best way to go about it if I don't have the ability to drive to a school and take classroom classes. Thank you in advance, as I want to learn every one of the Adobe products I subscribe to in depth. I am curious the recommended learning order.
