Some simple silliness

I've been reading John Steinbeck's 'Cannery Row'- pretty good stuff. I am teaching a class this semester on web page design. I decided to make a project for my students that's loosely based on the book. In the story, a group of vagrants make money for a party they want to throw by collecting frogs for a biology classroom supply company. As you can see, I found an old picture of a Model-T Ford Truck, and Marine Biologist Dr. Ed Ricketts and customized them for our project in Adobe PhotoShop with a Microsoft clip art of a frog. They aren't masterpieces, but it was fun and hopefully they show kids some of what PhotoShop is capable of.

Great book, by the way.
