Photoshop layer styles and effects

We've talked about layer styles and layer effects in photoshop, but now I want to see you experience them first hand. Your homework this week will involve you taking one (or more) seemingly "normal" photographs and really making them spectacular using Photoshop's unique layer styles and layer effects. Take what we've gone over in class and dazzle me! You are free to incorporate typography with your photos if that helps in your design.

I want to see some wild and crazy photoshopping here! If you think it looks good, DO IT! If you want to look up additional techniques to include in this assignment, I encourage you to do so. Just be prepared to talk to the class during critique about your methods and how you learned them. After all, the purpose of the class is to learn and I'm not the only teacher!

We will be using some of the Image Size Dialog information you learned in class to create a specific size for your document. See the details below.

Homework:

• Pick one or more photographs

• Use the Photoshop layer styles and layer effects

• Typography is allowed if you want to include it

• Use ANY photoshop technique to make this image

• Final document size must be 10"x 10" at 72 dpi

• DAZZLE ME!

Be prepared to turn in your finished photoshop document by the end of class on Monday, September 20th. You will have next week's class period to work on this project but it MUST have been started before then for you to receive full credit. I will be checking on your progress at the beginning of class. Utilize your lab time!
