Make sure it's an unflatted photoshop file (layers preserved) and name it (yourlastname_p2.psd, example: dean_p2.psd). Use the same name for the jpg image.

You must submit a Photoshop file that shows all the layers and a jpeg file. Submit the Photoshop file and the jpg file as a attachments to your Week 10 discussion on Blackboard.

Your Discussion Board post must include the following:

• Attached jpg and psd files
• A write-up that includes:
  • A brief explanation of your project
  • The process you used to enhance and/or correct the photo used on the label and background
  • The problems you encountered and how you overcame them
  • A list of five or more things from #9 in the technical checklist you included in the project (see below)
• What you learned from the project

Submit Project 2 in the Project 2 Discussion area on Blackboard

Before starting do Lessons 6, 7 and 8. Then using those techniques and ones you learned in earlier lessons create an ad for a ficticious product featuring a can of the product. You have your choice of a soda, soup, paint or spray can (Click here for can images).

Have fun with this, but keep in mind that this could be a possible portfolio piece.
