Phones should be used for classwork only. If your phone is visible, you should be able to explain how you are using it for class work.

Headphones, earbuds, etc. are not allowed in class.

If you have trouble with your computer or Photoshop, be sure we fix that at the beginning of class. If you wait until I come to check work that is too late.
