Eddie "Dash" Vega The Latest {7676cd40-b9a9-58fe-6ec0-bf0dc7979d83} Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:45:00 EST http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/edwin.vega/ PSX - Plattsburgh State eXchange http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/edwin.vega/mainpage=1.htm PSX covers areas of interest in the fields of Digital Media (Media Information), Education (Teacher / Student Resources), Graphic Design, Web Development, and Tutorials on how-to use various applications. These tutorials include how-tos on using Photoshop, Flash, PowerPoint, GIMP, Blender and many more. Other tutorial web pages are currently under development and will be posted soon.

The logic behind PSX is that with digital technology revolutionizing world industries, we now have access to such technologies and therefore can replicate practices and projects that for a long time were only created by major businesses. We can now do our own printing, build our own websites, design our own posters, edit our own videos and author our own DVDs thanks to the advancements in technology. PSX offers everyone, not just students or faculty, a resource on where to find information, links, upcoming conferences, tutorials and in some cases - workshops.

The latest news from PSX is the addition of NEW tutorials in the area of open source technology. These include links for applications such as Open Office, NVU, Blender, GIMP, and Inkscape. There is also a web page entitled, "In General" where one can find more tutorials on a variety of applications.

Coming in the weeks ahead are tutorials on the following open source products: Audacity and Scribus

There will also be updates to tutorials on commercial products such as: Photoshop, PowerPoint, and Flash

Also coming in the weeks ahead are tutorials on the following commercial products: Dreamweaver, Illustrator, In-Design and QuarkXpress

I hope you enjoy PSX and that it can help you in whatever you enjoying working on!
