Show what you did during the next presentation, earning up to 2 points.
Lab activity
Combine the pictures you brought from home, scanned and selected in the previous lab sessions.
Create a new document large enough to accommodate your edited images. Save it as a native Photoshop (.PSD) file.
In each of your edited images, load the saved selections as appropriate.
Drag selected portions of the two images into the new document.
Use the knowledge acquired in your research activity to arrange and combine the various elements into an effective composition. Read about design elements and balance (pp. 44-53 of the textbook) to assist you in your decision-making.
Using the type tool, you may also want to add a title or caption. Or, use the painting tools to add entirely new elements.
Copy the resulting image (a Photoshop file with multiple layers) on your storage device
Show the finished composition during the next presentation to demonstrate your design skills and technical proficiency. Collect up to 5 points more.
Home activity
Read the rest of chapter 5 (pp. 141-179 of the textbook).
Bring to the lab next time a black and white image to colorize (and optionally restore). If your compositing project was in black and white, you can continue to use the same file.
