Photoshop Collage - Rubric here
You will be constructing a collage in Photoshop. You will gather images from various sources. Your collage must have a theme and the theme MUST BE APPROVED before you begin. One example of a collage is provided here. Your collage might be about a novel you are reading in your English or history class, something you are studying in math or science, all about you or about your favorite sport, band, hobby, animal, social issue... The possibilities are endless! If you chose a subject for a core class, you may be able to earn extra credit or use the collage as a substitute for another assignment for that class.
Create a new folder inside your DGA/Photoshop folder. Name it Collage.
Plan
Ask yourself:
• What message do I want to get across?
• What images or objects do I want to use?
• Does this image tell the story? Focus on the message.
• Does it tell the same story as another image?
• Will I need to modify this image again for another purpose?
• Does it have any distracting details?
Gather images - Start saving images into your collage folder. You may use Photobucket, Google Images, Flickr, or any other web site that fits the AUP. Make a list of the sources in Word. Remember the copyright and fair use rules!
Cite your sources - Use Easybib.com to cite all of your photos. Save as a Word document in your Photoshop>Collage folder. 10 points comes from your MLA formatted Works Cited page.
Photoshop work - Don't even open Photoshop until you have had your theme approved and have gathered images into your collage folder and have cited your sources.
Do NOT begin with a with an existing image. You must start with a new blank document in Photoshop.
Open Photoshop CS3. Click File>New, then make your new file match
