Self Portrait Project

For your first project, you will be using Adobe Photoshop to create a collage. This collage should say something about you. It will be a self-portrait, if you will. You will combine elements using layers, selection techniques, masking and other photoshop tools to create a visual representation of yourself.

As I said in last week's post, you MUST include at least one photograph of yourself in your project. Don't be embarrassed, everyone has to do it!

Choose your images, colors and layout carefully. The finished design should speak about your thoughts on graphic design and yourself. We will work on this project in class tonight (Aug. 30th) and you will have lots of time to complete it due to the Labor Day holiday next Monday. So, just a reminder, class will not meet next Monday!

Homework:

1- Finish your collage project over the next two weeks. It must be completed BEFORE you come to class on Monday, September 13th. Please bring a digital copy of your photoshop file with you to class to turn in.

2- Keep checking the blog for what to bring with you to class on September 13th for our next assignment. Checking this blog is a requirement for this class, so I need to be sure you're paying attention to it. If you don't check back here, you won't be prepared for class!
