Exercise One: A Blog Introduction

Your first Exercise is to perform a number of administrative tasks that will help our section of Introduction to Experience Design run smoothly.

1) Join the Blog. I have sent and email to your OCAD email account inviting you to join the blog. You will need to set up a Google account if you don't already have one.

2) Gain access to the TEMPORARY_STORAGE drive. I will demonstrate how to do this in class. Here, you'll find a folder that contains the class photos that were shot earlier. Please find your photo, and prepare it for uploading to the blog. Make modifications as you see fit - cropping, enhancing, effects - but don't spend too much time, as there's lots left to do. If you have access to another photo that you prefer, feel free to use it, but make sure the photo clearly shows your face.

3) Make a post to the blog which includes the following.
-Your full (and your preferred) name.
-Your discipline: graphic design, industrial design, etcetera.
-Your general level of comfort with technology, ranging from "I don't have a clue" to "I'm an expert at the use of all software and hardware." Be specific: name the software and hardware that you know, and how well you know it. This will help us tailor the class to your existing skills.
-Your photo.

Please title your post "Exercise One - Name." For example, my post would be called "Exercise One - Jesse." Also, label your post with the 3.1 Exercise One label provided at the bottom left of the posting window. Please consistently follow these conventions for titles and labels in the future.

Exercise One is due at 08:30 on Monday, January 12.
