Results of your
registration forms
5/14 and
5/21 were clear favorites for dates; morning/afternoon preferences were
50/50. I chose afternoon on the assumption that some people might be
teaching in the morning.
Below

New graphics
software users...
...should learn how to use a graphics package
to modify existing images and create original graphics. Creating
original graphics would include things like
§ creating text banners
§ adding drop shadows and other
effects
§ using digital cameras and
scanners
...should
receive a software package and book.
I'll start by suggesting (for beginners)
PaintShop Pro (software)
The
Non-Designer's Web Book (book)
Other
suggestions are welcomed.
...should
get some training - say 2 or 3 Friday afternoon sessions
soon (April or May), and a followup session
in the fall.
Session
1: Graphics basics, intro
to the software, finding and using graphics, making original stuff
(pt. 1)
Session
2: Making original stuff (pt. 2), scanners, digital cameras,
and other stuff
Session
3?: Web design basics - how to pick colors and fonts and
lay out pages
Experienced
graphics software users...
...should expand their knowledge. Most
people have said they want to order new software. They should be
able to do this, and should plan on ordering most whatever they want in
software and/or books. In return, they
...should probably attend the beginners sessions
to help out, make friends, build a little community and all
...should
write up a web page of what they learned
...should
present in the follow-up session
in the fall
The
followup session....
...in
the fall would be "here's what I've learned" presentations.
New users to would show what they've been up to, and experienced users
would show some of what's out there, what comes after beginning-level
software. It would be about the same time and length as the other
sessions. And it would wrap up the grant entirely - everyone likes closure!
The proposal
has been roughed out in MS-Word 7 (e.g. you need Word 7 to read it)
