Goals for the last week of January 2015!

1.  Print Images for the Image Cues/Collage assignment - We will cut and paste these in our research notebooks to compare and contrast with the hands on cut-paper Image Cues assignment.

2.  A total of Five "Best of" or "Edited" photos from your INDIVIDUAL portrait shoot.  You do not need to turn these into the hand-in folder, instead we will Preview and check-off in class.

3.  Group Photo Shoot - Scavenger Hunt!  A total of 20 photos that fit within the 10 categories that have been divided up and edited by your group.  You will submit your portion of the assignment into the D-Chandler P3 Hand-In folder that corresponds with your group (ie: Group B, C, D, E...)  If you had your own camera, make a new folder with your "Group Name" and turn that in to the hand-in folder.

               Categories for the Scavenger Hunt:

- Hot/Cold
- Rough/Smooth
- Calm/Crazy
- Light/Dark
- Ugly/Beautiful
- Safe/Dangerous
- Long/Short
- Happy/Sad
- Good/Evil
-Right/Wrong
-Clear/Confusing
-Dumb/Smart
-Black/White
-Bold/Shy
-Classic/Modern

As always, give me awesome images and Good Luck!

Project 3:  In class editing, Re-Writing History

For your next project you will be editing an existing photograph and placing yourself into the existing shot.  You will need to find a famous or recognizable shot on Google Images (Photo-Journalism, Movie Poster, Book Cover, Screen Shot, Magazine Cover, etc.) and place yourself into it.  You must place at least your face, but you can use your entire body.  Your grade for this project will be based on the quality of your editing not on your ideas (though cleverness does indeed count).  This is a chance for you to show me your Photoshopping skills.

Start by looking for the image you want to use.  Strategize - If it's your face you're inserting, you want an image that has the same direction and hopefully lighting as your image... Photobooth can help you find a shot that can work for your image.  Any image source of your face will work, (personal hotos, social media, etc.) just remember that quality counts - If it's a bad image to begin with, it will probably still be a bad image, though there are plenty of things we can do to work around that and/or fix it.

Good luck...
