You
now have the ability to bring jpeg images to your Desktop. We
have been doing this using the location and download techniques.
Shortly, you will also be creating original jpeg images in Photoshop.
Our communication model indicates that the first step in effective
communication is to produce an specified image. The next step
in the process, however, is to effectively deliver that image.
Images can be delivered through email (as we did last session).
Another dynamic delivery method for your images consists of
installing images (jpegs) in a Word document. Many of you already
know how to do this, but let’s review the method so we
can expand our communication model: |
