Re-Do!

For this assignment, go back to one of the previous assignments in this class and re-do the assignment. You will need to completely re-shoot the assignment, not just tweek the images you already shot for the original assignment. Perhaps you got an idea after seeing other images in class or after you learned more in Photoshop. Here is your chance to apply the "if I knew then what I know now..." statement to your work.

Critique on March 24th.

gender swap examples



Gender Swap Help

Saving a Selection: Step-by-step instructions with screen grabs.

Match Color: Image--Adjustments--Match Color
Transform Tool: Edit--Transform or Free Transform
*hold down the shift key when changing the scale to keep the original proportions
*remember to double click inside the box when you are done with your transformations and would like to use another tool in Photoshop
, if you don't want to use that tool, you can always hit "esc" at the top left of your keyboard to exit it.
Filter Effects Reference: Filter--Blur--Gaussian Blur; Filter--Noise--Add Noise; Filter--Texture--Grain--(Enlarged)

To confine the effects of an adjustment layer to specific image layers, select the image layers, choose Layer > New > Group From Layers, and change the Mode from Pass Through to any other blending mode (like "Normal"). Then place the adjustment layer at the top of the layer group.

Group Presentations

You and your group (2-3 people) will present the work of 2 different photographers or a photographic trend. You will present the photographers' work in the form of a power point presentation. You will need the following:

*15-20 images (it is acceptable to show an image or two by someone else that has influenced the photographer/s you have chosen)

*brief bio on photographers (where they're from, when and where they were working, what influenced them, any other interesting facts about them, etc.)

*compare or contrast the photographers and their work (use the vocabulary you are all now accustomed to)

*must be 10-15 minutes long

When you have formed a group and decided on the photographers you are going to do your presentation on, one member of the group email me telling me who is in the group and what you'll be doing your presentation on. If another group will be presenting on those same photographers, I will ask that you change who or what you're doing your presentation on.

Email me with group members and topic of presentation by Thursday, March 10th.

You will be presenting these during the week of March 29th and 31st. I will assign you a date and time.
