Due Date:
Tuesday, 03/27/2001

Tools Needed:

• The Gimp or a similar graphics manipulation package (PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, etc).  You can download the Windows version of The Gimp at http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/.

Directions:

1. Using a graphics package, like the Gimp, create at least two original flat-color graphics.  Save the graphics with the extension of .PNG and save them to your Phoenix public_html directory.  Be sure that the files have 644 permissions and be sure that they are clearly linked from your N351 page!
   
   
2. Download at least two flat-color files, like .PNG or .GIF files and manipulate them using one of the many filters available in your graphics package (bump map, any one of the blur filters, etc.).  Save the graphics with the extension of .PNG and save them to your Phoenix public_html directory.  Be sure that the files have 644 permissions and be sure that they are clearly linked from your N351 page!
   
   
3. Using your graphics package of choice, create a single compound image by blending together 3 existing, photo-realistic images (like .JPGs).  Using various filters in your graphics package to achieve this goal.  Save your graphic with the extension of .JPG and save them to your Phoenix public_html directory.  Be sure that the files have 644 permissions and be sure that they are clearly linked from your N351 page!
