Before your next class:

Clip-art

1.  Practice making your own clip-art using Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or whatever equivalent you are using at home.  Keep in mind your plans for your mini-project #2 and also your midterm project.  The latter will require the inclusion of original clip-art!  What kinds of graphics do you think will be useful for the pages you might make in the future?  You might want to look at Laura McCanna's tips for making interesting web graphics.

2.  Once you have become proficient at making your own clip-art, try saving some of them as transparent GIFs, using the directions on the Creating clip-art page. Again, check out Laura McCanna's pages for ideas.
 

Sound editing

1.  Try your hand at sound editing using Audacity, or Adobe Audition, Acoustica or any program you wish.  Record an original sound and also take a recording from another source and experiment with the steps on the sound editing page. Especially Capture, Center wave, Normalization, Save as mp3.

2.  Keep in mind your upcoming projects, and when you are satisfied with the editing job you have done on the sounds you have chosen, be sure to save them for future inclusion in your projects.
