Assignment #3 Guidelines
Abstraction/Visual Pun (5 points)
“Combining Images To Express Meaning”
This is an exercise in effective photo compositing and/or use of filters. Using photo imagery or an illustration/artwork of your own, create a piece of composite art that suggests a visual pun or is an abstract interpretation of a concept (see examples in the Powerpoint below). Combine at least two different images in a way that is unexpected but that makes sense within the finished piece. Refer to Chapter 15 of your textbook for inspiration on creating abstract concepts with multiple images. (Note: this assignment will require you to understand a little about layering in PS. You should have completed an appropriate tutorial before tackling it.)
Again, choose images that you have permission to use or that are royalty-free. Pay particular attention to focal interest, negative space, drama, and style. You will be evaluated on:
• Originality Creativity/Originality
• Subject, Design & Composition Choices
• Overall Aesthetics/Decisions
• Fulfillment of Assignment Requirements/Rhetorical Resonance
• Contrast/Value/Color Choices
• Complexity of Work/Demonstration of Skill
• Clarity/Final Resolution of Output
• Use of Software
• Attention to Detail/Masking & Clarity
• Blending/Transparency of filtering & color corrections/Finesse
Email a tiff of the original and the final photos to me, upload the PS file with layers intact to Server 8, and print out a copy for critique that you mount in a professional fashion on matt board. You should briefly note in your email what you were attempting to communicate with the image. what tools you used, and what challenges you met in the process of using the software to accomplish it.
As with all Art 109 projects, when you send a file by email be sure your name is somewhere in the file name.
