Before you begin
Bring an original idea and only files you own or have permission to use. You can plan the assignment without running a paid job. Existing age, consent and account restrictions still apply.
Practice uses the tools currently available to your account. Read the live estimate before each paid action; credits, subscriptions, provider access and faculty feedback are not included merely by reading this class.
The class
Define the task
Write a brief for a fictional coastal festival poster: audience, focal subject, light and space for lettering. Keep invented people distinct from real staff. Choose an image tool in Create; a camera planner or caption tool produces words, not a finished picture.
Work in the tool
Describe subject, place, composition, light and treatment. Pick one available model and a modest size. Read its estimate and submit once. Keep the job receipt; a second click is a second job.
Compare and revise
Keep version one, then change just the composition or light. Model alternatives are comparisons, not separate courses. If you caption a reference, check its description against the image rather than treating it as fact.
Finish and keep it
Open the result in My Work, name both versions and download your chosen file. Check it at thumbnail size. Add precise lettering in an editor rather than trusting generated text. If an entitled guided assignment opens this tool, read its current brief and rubric, explicitly select compatible prior personal course work, and check the real output before returning to Learn. Reuse opens the current editable file while a submitted snapshot keeps its version. Missing or revoked assignment access blocks a run; pending or failed work is not a submission. Review the actual ready Vault file selection and submit explicitly. The current class is still preparing; a practice link alone does not enroll you or prove a provider is available.
Your practical assignment
Deliver two images, their prompts and a paragraph explaining which better serves the brief.
Review your work
Can a viewer identify the intended subject and use without your explanation?
- Purpose: the work answers the brief and the specific review question.
- Craft: you identify defects, compare a deliberate revision and verify the final file.
- Process: sources, permissions, settings and decisions are documented honestly.
