I emailed you because I have observed your work and I believe you have either already taken the ACA Photoshop course or its equivalent.

In the last three weeks, you have been working on the assignments, but I feel that you are not learning anything new or being challenged, and as a result, I see a lot of valuable class time wasted. Experimentation is NOT the best way to learn. 

The Adobe suite of software is incredibly powerful and almost limitless in what you can create. You have an incredible opportunity to learn the software suite the right way with the skillsets and procedures that the pros use. Don't waste this opportunity.

I challenge you to stretch yourself. 

I will give you choices and then you must write your goals and justification for your choice.

Whatever your choice, I will need to see a minimum of one QUALITY file from you EACH week. There are no "days off" when it comes to learning Adobe software. Accomplishing the basics is NOT mastering the software - you must persevere and tackle difficult challenges.

I own and have access to high-quality online videos and courses which you are welcome to use (although only one person at a time can access each course). In the resources section of the website there are plenty of links to valuable Adobe software lessons.

Respond to the writing prompt below and let me know your thoughts. I really wish I could teach an advanced class, but it is not possible to do with the current student assignments.

You are welcome to learn another Adobe program, but until I develop a curriculum, it is something you are going to have to do in your free time.

If you want to do Animate or Premiere Pro, talk to me.

For the month of October, I want you to follow the Graphic Design curriculum HERE. Start at Week 1 and follow the directions. This is the work you need to do to build a portfolio. I will not be able to give the presentations that I want, but hopefully the experience will be a valuable one and the extra certification will help you immensely.
