Work on final Photoshop Assignment (Guidelines below.)
This PS assignment should show me the best of the skills you’ve learned this first month of class. Consider it your final exam in Photoshop.
This is an exercise in effective photo compositing, masking, photorealism or painterly style, shading, and the consistent application of light sources. Using photo imagery or an illustration/artwork of your own, create a piece of composite art that suggests a visual pun or is a stylized abstract interpretation of a concept (see examples in the Powerpoint below). Combine three or more 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 layering and masking in PS. You should have completed Skill Set 2 and other appropriate tutorials before tackling it.)
Again, choose images that you have permission to use or that are royalty-free. Work with images that are no smaller than 8x10 in 240 DPI. Pay particular attention to focal interest, negative space, drama, and style in your image. 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 with Masking
• Clarity/Final Resolution of Output
• Use of Software
• Attention to Detail/Masking & Clarity
• Blending/Transparency of filtering & color corrections/Finesse
Upload the .PSD file with layers intact to the ServerX6 drop box before class on the day of critique, along with the original images you worked from, PLUS you will be printing a copy of your work in class in CMYK to turn in as well. You should first need to convert to CMYK and print the image at least 8x10 at 300 ppi.
Along with your image this time, you must also SUBMIT A ONE-PAGE PAPER (dbl-spaced) describing your thinking while making the image(s), explaining why you chose this particular image (discuss composition, mood, color, contrast, abstraction) and the tools you used to accomplish it. Discuss masking, use of filters, and compositing/creating believable shadows, etc. You should provide evidence of reflection and analysis regarding the process you went through to develop the concept and final result. Be prepared to share this information with the class. You may also discuss in your paper 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.
If you make changes to your image after the critique, you should email a JPG of the final to me to let me know. (As with all Art 109 projects, when you send a file by email be sure your name is somewhere in the file name.)
