Preface: For my VTA Clipper Card Bus Pass to be valid, Al Guzman made me to take the 0 unit class LINC-405 "Beginning Technology Skills" with Kas Pereira in Summer 2021. She informed me that Kim Randall, William Cavada, & Gene Tognetti are teaching this class in Summer 2021. There were Zoom sessions each Monday and Thursday (6:00-6:30 pm) with Gene Tognetti, and Q&A sessions with Kim Randall & William Cavada (6:30-7:00 pm). Enrolled For Summer 2021, and William Cavada did an automatic roll-over, enrolling me in Fall 2021. I've summarized the assignments done for LINC-405: Summer 2021. Below are projects in LINC-405: Fall 2021.

1. Label on Bottle (Sept. 20, 2021)
Since I took Adobe Photoshop
with William Cavada (June 2017),

in "Transform" Edit Menu.
Showed step-by-step process
how this was done to create
"Zeus Juice" energy drink bottle.

2. Google Gmail on "Label on Bottle" (Oct. 9, 2021)

the email and reassembled them in Photoshop.
