PHOTOSHOP

CHANGING THE CONTEXT OF AN IMAGE
With this project, you will show that you have a good understanding of how photoshop operates as well as showing your conceptual expertise. You are to find a picture or an ad. You are to find at least one 3D object of your choosing (match, label, marbles, etc.). You are to combine the 3D object(s) with the picture and completely change the context or meaning of the original image. Do not worry if you cannot fit the 3D object on the scanner, we can use the digital camera and photograph the object.

PARAMETERS

1 picture or ad
1 3D object(s)
1 black board to mount finals

Photoshop capabilities that must be included:

• Show Photo Retouching
• Show Color Correcting
• You must have at least 1 layer of type
• Scanning
• Filters are not required unless it is appropriate
• Final size must be no bigger than 10”x15” and no smaller than 3”x3”.

PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS

Both images (the original image and your changed image)are to be mounted on black foam core board or black mat board.

Final output should be a color print at 300 dpi at 100% actual size. You may choose a different paper stock if that adds more depth to the composition. Consult the printer before you choose a different paper stock.

The pieces must have a 2” border around the top, left and right sides and a 3” border on the bottom. There should be a 2” gap between the two pieces. See below.
