Digital Media – PS Demo
Assignment #1 – Photoshop “Best Shot” Composite Images
Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing, and filters. They must use a background of either 1024×768 pixels or 800×600 pixels, bring in the photo from below and a minimum of 5 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 saved as native .psd and also as a .jpg. Students will upload the original landscape photo and their final piece as a jpg to their ePortfolios as a page/kid to Digital media with the assignment order number, and 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 I demonstrated the use of basic PS tools.
- I downloaded a photo from Miss Leslie’s page and demonstrated how to use masking tools, effects, and the clone stamp. I chose to replace the sky and mountains with my own sunset I got from the internet, I brought in a raft going down river.
- I really liked the way my sunset turned out. I also liked that I could use the clone stamp to fill in the trees. I enjoyed this assignment.
