Again we offer you remedies that have stood the test of time. These potions, salves, and incense sticks will bring you the ancient blessings described in the medical journals recently translated from the findings of Hans Bjorgison in the archeological site on his ranch across the river from Socorro. Written by María Maldonado, wife of Juan Gomez de Paradinas who was the tailor of San Juan, this ancient formulary gathered by Padre Pedro Jaramillo is a totally unexpected treasure from the glories of Spain.
We had no idea Captain Francisco Vazquez de Coronado had left Juan and Maria to develop the medical center of San Juan de Bernardo in the bosque of the Rio Grand valley until our grandfather unearthed this carefully preserved journal in a hand-carved sandstone box in the ruins of the old medical center.
These products use only the ingredients listed in Don Pedro’s formulary. They have been carefully ground from the rocks, plants, and other materials found in the Socorro area.
There is good reason to believe that all the wild swordleaf found in the bosque today is descended from the medicinal gardens at San Juan de Bernardo. It is the only swordleaf found north of the Mexican border.
This is the area that contains the dig where Maria’s formulary was found. The actual ruins were found just beyond this little apple orchard on the steep side of this old arroyo.
The project is rasterizing a couple EPSs and producing a small GIF for the Web site of Quercul Troubadour.
"Ancient Lore from the Conquistadors."Quercul is pronounced kwer' kuel
You will have to download
this PDF of the marching Troubadour.
When you try to open it in Photoshop, the Import PDF dialog box will open. Set it for 72 dpi, 77 by 154 pixels, RGB and rasterize.
Choose Image>> Canvas
size and resize it to 450x175 from the Upper Left
Make a new layer, call it
Background and move it to the bottom. Draw a rectangular marquee
and fill it with a 75% opaque linear fill from the purple of
the flag to the red of the jacket in the supplied logo (use the
eyedropper)
Use the Logotype PDF you downloaded first); resize it to where is seems correct an dominant name is appropriate.
Then, in Photoshop, choose Save for Web, choose GIF, check Transparency with a Matte of None and adjust the size so it is less than 8K with no serious color shifts.
It should
look something like this:
The final result needs to be a GIF with a transparent background that is less than 8K. Attach it to an email to your instructor for grading.
1: -7 points if it's too large in file size or
2: -7 points if there's no transparency
3: -12 points off for wrong format
4: -2 points for each typo.
