Your photo rendition
is being produced for yourself or someone that you
know.
It may use an approved photo of yourself a friend or family member and you
can bring in photos from home for scanning into a digital format for work
up in your project.
Ethics:
as always you are sensitive to others feelings and
good taste.
Showing
your skills.......
Planning - your final
production should show signs of preplanning in the choice and sizing of
images to the layout of of your design elements
Photos should be taken with proper lighting
for your goals in mind
(back vs forward lighting ,
high vs low contrast, natural
vs artificial lighting)
Photo touch up - most photos
can benefit from PhotoShop (our amazing darkroom) try the following
.........
ENHANCE - auto levels (evens out light
levels in pixels)
- hue / saturation - saturation levels bring out or tone down the
colour intensity while hue casts an overall colour throughout
FILTER
- sharpen - a common filter used is to make the image more
crisp
BLUR - you might add a
motion blur if you are creating an action image
- motion blur can also be created at the camera by slowing shutter speed
OTHER- there are
filters and combinations to numerous to discuss but if you decide to
experiment then I advise that you create a duplicate image for this
purpose
Layout
Your layout should be thoughtful and interesting and
components in the composition
should be to scale.
Your choices of colour should be in line with the effects your are trying
to create.
Your font styles
should also be chosen carefully and scaled and angled in an effective
manner.
Your composition and layout should be novel
and eye catching and arouse interest and
emotion in the viewer.
Post Production - your
final copy will be printed in colour and then
laminated you will learn how to colour print
properly and laminate if you are not certain.
Finally your image will be uploaded to the net and posted on your
portfolio. Remember to resize your image to
no more that width of 600 pixels and then
save for web before uploading and
linking to your portfolio.
