Horses Makeover In Photoshop
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.

Reflection: This assignment was probably the most enjoyable one so far, partly because you could make up your own story. The story that this picture tells is a tsunami carrying Sydney and a horse that is about to take out the other horses, and a banana dolphin is trying to save them with the police on his tail. This project was not very hard, I only had to bring in 4 things. The way I brought most of them in was by copy and pasting them into an area I had selected with the magic wand, or pasting them regular and using the magnetic lasso to pull out just the part I wanted. I tweaked a few other things by selecting them with the magnetic lasso and using other tools to edit them. Then I messed with the lighting and coloring and was done. This was a very fun assignment.
