Description- Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing and filters. They must use the horses background image and then bring in a minimum of 4 images from the web to create a fantasy composite image that tells a story. Composition, masking, detail, perspective and other basic design technique will be included in the grading. Files must be saved as native .psd and also as a .jpg. Students will upload their final piece as a .jpg to their ePortfolios on their Tech Lit page or as a page/kid to Tech Lit page (their choice but stick with one method for all assignments) with the assignment order number, and with a detailed assignment description (can be copied and pasted from here) and reflection restating what they did, how they did it, and how they feel about their work.

Story: One day, a massive tornado reaches a small farm. One horse gets lifted up by the tornado and into the sky as the tornado reaches the horse pasture. The farmer who owns the farm is running for his life, followed by his wife who appears to care more about her cake than what is going on.

Reflection- I enjoyed making this project and using photoshop. I first put in the horses picture as the backround. Then, I added the stormy sky and the tornado. I then lifted a horse in the air and rotated it 75 degrees. After that, I added the farmer and his wife. After I was finished, I saved is as a JPEG. I really like using photoshop so far. I also like the way my horses makeover turned out.
