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- In this assignment I had to create a story with horses from Wyoming.  I had to use four or more pictures from the internet.  I used Adobe Photoshop to complete this assignment.  I used the wand to cut out the sky and get the cool horse cloud.  I also used the wand to cut out the horse heads and the hoof.  I used the lasso to cut out the phone because the wand tried to cut out the whole phone instead of the background. The story is that the horse that is holding the phone is taking a selfie with the cool clouds and the other horses. The horse with the open mouth is photobombing the other guy and is doing “horsey ears” (bunny ears). I had a lot of fun with photoshop! I can’t wait to mess around with it some more and create some awesome photos! 😀
