Adobe Photoshop CS5
Description:
Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing and filters. They must find a background image at either 1024×768 pixels or 800×600 pixels, and then bring in a minimum of 4 images from the web to create a fantasy composite image. Composition, masking, detail, perspective and other basic design technique will be included in the grading. Files must be saves as native .psd and also as a .pdf. Students will upload their final piece as a PDF to their ePortfolios as a page/kid to Digital media 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: I pulled a background picture from the internet and scaled it larger. Then, I dropped Darth Vader in. I used the magic wand to cut him out and scaled him smaller. I did the same thing for the jedi, clone, clone blaster and lightsaber hilt. I had to use the magic wand a lot to get the clone helmet because the background had many colors. I enjoyed this project and I hope to do more!

Reflection: I found a Minecraft background and text. I dropped them in and added the “Magazine” text. I found a website and got screenshots of skins (the avatars) to add. I cut those out. I made text boxes in comic life and cut them out in photo shop. I enjoyed this project. It was a lot of fun.
