Photo Manipulation Project
For this project, I will require you to choose one quote from the following:
“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me.”
― Seán O’Casey, Three More Plays: The Silver Tassie, Purple Dust, Red Roses For Me
“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known.” –Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
Pick one of the above quotes and illustrate it with an image you create from scratch. Tell a story with your image. Specifically, the techniques I am looking for include:
- A background, either made from scratch or imported and manipulated in some way
- An arrangement on preexisting images that makes sense in accordance with the quote, done neatly and efficiently
- Manipulation of the images (i.e. Filters, Burns, etc.)
- Text
The image is worth 50% of your grade. The other 50% will be a write up on your blog about the image you created and how it illustrates the quote you have chosen. The guidelines for the write up are as follows:
- Post the image to your blog
- Describe the quote you have chosen and what it means to you
- Describe how the image illustrates the quote
- Describe the process you went through when composing the image
- How is this a form of digital writing?
