Monday 5 March 2012

On Monday, March 5th, we will spend time in the Mac lab getting your images ready to print and then in the print lab printing and cutting.  Please make sure you have images ready to work on in Photoshop and Lightroom and to print on Monday.

Prints are $2 a square foot.  The print lab only accepts the Lion card so come with funds on your card.

Your mid-term grade will reflect how well you complete each of the two assignments.

The panoramic assignment is: 
Make a series of single images; then using PhotoShop’s merge engine make a seamless panoramic image. Think ahead. Shoot more variations than you may need. It works best with no less than four vertical images and try to keep the horizon line level.  One print due with paper size no smaller than 20 X 24 inches.

The David Hockney assignment is: 
Make a series of single images that at first glance gives us a false impression that the viewer is looking at one place but upon closer inspection the viewer notices that the space has been expanded or condensed. With this option the photographer will need to study the place to be photographed closely and think about what it is that needs to be expressed in the photographs by changing the point of view, angles and /or varying the subject to camera distance to help alter how the subject is perceived. This series of images can be printed either vertical or horizontal; whichever best conveys the space in question.  One print due with paper size no smaller than 20 X 24 inches.

Mid-term critique over the panoramic and David Hockney assignments are Wednesday, March 7th at 6 pm in Journalism, room #110. Two 20" (on the longest side) prints on 24" paper are due. One print should be a panoramic and one print should be a David Hockney.

After critique, please post your two images on your blog.  Then you will need to begin commenting on the blogs of your fellow class mates.
