Beginning Photoshop Collage 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 the image 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. For best results, Search Creative Commons for your images. Cite your sources - Use Easy Bib to cite your sources for all images! Save your Works Cited page as a Word document in your Collage folder. The file name should be Collage-Works Cited.
