Chajatda's members calling.

I have an idea to share.Due to many of us still not usual with Photoshop and it is too much things can we learn from Photoshop, and my understanding on usage of Photoshop also limited.Why don't we do like this, each person search and learn one or more tutorial every week then we combine it with teaching each other.I think this will be useful for us as we can learn more and when you teach others, it will acts as a practice and let you have a better understanding toward what you have learn.So, how is yours opinion?Reply me as soon as possible so that we can start earlier.



Regard,
Weiting

2.We also shared our thought on what to put in the calender and we think of each person come out with own concept and design first then we just decide which is better to use or we just using all 6 different concepts according to the same theme.But, it must be cohesive.We come out with this idea because of we think that it maybe will be a bit boring if we using the same concepts throughout twelve months and it just seem like done by same people.Yet, all is still under discussion.


3.Other than that, we had a brief discuss on the layout and typesetting.Since some of us didn't know much about  how to use Photoshop, we have a basic tutorial of some common use tools.
