8th Digital ARts: Yearbook

Your class has been hired to create artwork for the title page of this year’s yearbook. Use Photoshop to turn an ordinary picture of the school building into a work of art! All of the instructions can also be found on caarts.blogspot.com

Directions:

1. Chose and photo and copy to your desktop. Go to Fowler Classroom > Materials > School Photos.
2. Drag the photo onto the PS icon to open it in Photoshop
3. Make the photo more interesting. Change it from a dull, wintery photo into something more fun!
4. Try images adjustments. Go to Image (at the top) > Adjustments. Try the different menus. “Vibrance”, “Hue/Saturation” and “Color Balance” will all change your picture dramatically.
5. Now try Filters. Go to Filter (at the top) > Filter Gallery. Go through the folders to try different filters. You will notice whatever colors you have chosen will be used in the filters, so you may want to change your colors.
6. If you know how to use Photoshop, you may want to try cutting and pasting in parts of other pictures. You can use the “copyright free” photos links on caarts to look for other photos.
7. If you need some inspiration, look at the past student examples HERE
8. When you are finished, save a final copy into your folder, and the HAND IN WORK folder. Name it YourLastNameYearbook.psd

You have only this class to finish. One chosen project will receive a free yearbook!
