Welcome to the WDMD 200 Class Blog!

I'm Katie Stern, your professor of the Web and Digital Media Development (WDMD) 200 class at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. WDMD 200 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) covers basic elements of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash.

You need to be careful which version of these software programs you are using. Some of the Adobe CS6 software programs save files in a way that CS5 programs aren't able to open. Worse yet, some of the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) programs can't open CS6 files. This class will be taught on CS6 software programs, because those are the programs available in the UWSP public labs.

I will be posting discussions about Adobe Photoshop and how it is used by professionals. Later I'll add postings about Adobe Illustrator and Flash. I hope to help you understand how Photoshop "thinks" so you can become more proficient in the software program. You will also obtain direct instruction on how to answer some of the Minimum Competency Evaluation questions!

Let me know if there are specific questions I can answer for you.
