2) Next you need to start creating your own advert in Photoshop (you came up with the idea before half term). This is for coursework and everyone should be aiming to meet the requirements for at least a C grade. You will only have 2 lessons to complete your advert. When you want to save your advert, make sure you save it as a Photoshop document (not as a JPEG) in the following way. Go to FILE - SAVE AS - MY COMPUTER - MULTIMEDIA - STUDENTS - PHOTOS - MEDIA STUDIES - WRITE - YEAR 9 MEDIA STUDIES

If you save it as a Photoshop file you will be able to edit it again in future lessons. IF you save it as a JPEG you will lose all your layers and will be unable to edit it again in future.
