* Note this project is replacing the "digital photographic book" as outlined in the syllabus. There will be other chances to create digital books later in the course.
Project II: Image Combinations
Combine at least three (3) images together into a coherent whole. Source imagery may be photography, hand drawn pieces, paintings, monoprints... you name it. If it can be scanned or photographed, its fare game. The only caveat is that source imagery should be of sufficient resolution for good print output. This rules out much of the imagery that can be nabbed from the internet, because (as you know) screen resolution (72 dpi) is insufficient for printing.
The final piece may be abstract or realistic, but should evidence good masking skills, layer handling, tone and color handling, and of course be a strong design. Even "abstract" pieces should evidence good selection skills, with no "jaggies" or "halos."
Due Date 1: 9/20
- Three strong variations. The wider the variety, the better
- Preliminary critique
Due Date 2: 9/22
- Finalized design
- Photoshop file
Your work will be evaluated on the following:
- Required components; 3 images of adequate resolution
- The image is built for print resolution (at least 8x10 at 300 dpi)
- Strength of the visual design (aesthetic)
- Conceptually creative, fresh and engaging (What is the picture showing us?)
- Selections and masking are precise (no jagged edges or halo artifacts)
- Appropriate use of photoshop layers
