Best Practices for Digital Images Workshop
When:
Fri, Mar 26th, 2010, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.Join the Visual Rhetoric project for this unique event.
The workshop will be focused on:
*Becoming familiar with online and institutional databases of images
*Developing standards for citing images and New Media
*Sizing and creating original images using Adobe InDesign
*Incorporating images in the rhetoric and literature classroom
*Uploading and managing images with Drupal
On a daily basis, most of us find ourselves uploading and downloading
images. While we may be proficient, there are ways to potentially
enrich our use of digital images in the classroom by advancing
technical skills, as well as becoming familiar with the best of image
databases. Join Viz. in FAC 9 on March 26 at 1 pm for a workshop
considering best practices for digital images. We'll tour several
private databases of images, such as ARTstor, as well as Creative
Commons images on Flickr and Google. We'll present some practical
skills, such as resizing using Adobe InDesign and html-coding images
for Drupal. The workshop will also involve discussion of intellectual
property and citation for images.
