Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing and filters. They must use the a background image, a picture of themselves to match the story/theme of their background/fantasy, 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; First what we did was we went on to safari and found a 1024 by 768 background picture. Once we found the background we took pictures of ourselves doing what we want to be doing in our picture, and then added at least 4 pictures from the internet into our  picture. My picture is of me petting a dog at the beach. While a colorful bird flies in the sky and a dolphin jumps in the water. I also added a sandcastle to represent the beach. I liked doing this project and working with Photoshop!
