PHOTOSHOP
Who Are You Desktop
For some of you its been a while since you did any work in Photoshop, in order to refresh your memory and remind yourself of skills we will be creating an aerial view of your "desk".
You will create a aerial Desktop view of what your desk would be like if you had everything out that represents who you are. All images added to your 'desk" must have the backgrounds removed cleanly. All elements must be proportioned correctly, think about the scale of items (a iPhone shouldn't be larger than a keyboard for example). I am looking for an image that not only tells me about you, but is also laid out and designed well. Be creative about what you are adding to your 'desk." When you open Photoshop, create a new file that is 8"(w) x 4"(h) to create your desktop on. When selecting images, only use High Resolution, RGB images. As you work, save your project as a .psd and name it + first initial+lastname + desk.psd. When you are finished, save it as a PSD and a JPEG with the same name (ex: lmillerdesk.psd) and turn in both files to the classroom. Remember to add a jpeg copy to your portfolio folder! |

Geo Filter
You have been hired by Snap Chat to add more Geo Filters to their app for the Raleigh area. You will need to design 3 separate filters for 1 place. Be creative!! Make sure you don't inappropriate imagery or violate someone's copyright! *You can use pictures to trace from, but it shouldn't just be an exact copy of the original image. Use different parts of different pictures.
3) Save as BOTH an Illustrator file (.AI) and a .PNG file. Turn in both file types to the classroom. *** You will be graded on the complexity and creativity of your filter. If you finish significantly early, then your grade will suffer. As you work, save your project as a .ai and name it lastname + firstname + geofilter.ai. When you are finished, save it as a PNG with the same name and submit it to Mrs. Miller through the classroom. . Remember to add a jpeg copy to your portfolio! Make sure you review the rubric for this project to make sure you aren't going to lose any points! |
