March+18th

Week of March 18th
__**Assignment**__ : Design Project Transforming an image into separate layers using selection tools.

Here are the files you can choose from: (some will be more challenging than others)

,, , , ,

Once your file is open save it to your H:drive as South Park Character #_Lastname or SPC#_lastname.

Your assignment is to select each part of the character using ALL the selection tools available, create a new layer, name the new layer appropriately, organize layers in the correct order, and personalize your character somehow (the example shown is personalized). Once completed you will have a complete character. Save this as a JPEG file and email it to me when you are finished. The layers that you will need to create are: pants, feet, shirt, arms, hands1, hands2, face, mouth, eyes, etc. based on the character you chose. I will be coming around to check this assignment for accuracy using and naming layers.



The end of the card marking is this week. All work through the SouthPark character must be in (along with the folder check)

Folder checks - anytime this week you may show me your folder to receive your grade. Here is the list of worksheets that need to be completed for full credit: 1. Basic Cheat Sheet (add what you know or can find) 2. Vocabulary Sheet 2 (Vocab Link or Google) 3. Gradient Tool (Gradient Information Link) 4. Retouching Tools (Unit 4) 5. Blending Modes (below)

Here are the answers for Blending Modes - copy this to your worksheet.

==** NOTE FOR FRIDAY---Everyone needs to have a photo of themselves for the next assignment. You should not be looking straight the camera but kind of sideways (guys think the football pose and girls the cutesy sideways glance). I have a camera here if you want to take pictures with it today. **==

Friday (and next week)--
Have you ever played the game Where's Waldo? The object of the game is to find the WALDO character who is wearing a red and white striped shirt in a maze of colorful characters. Your assignment is to create your own Where's Matt, Aaron, Crystal or you board piece. First you will download the file. Save this as MyWaldo.PSD. Create a new folder on your H:drive called Where's (Your Name).


 * Step 1: ** Open the Waldo.psd file.
 * Step 2 ** : Open the picture you brought in of yourself. If you do not have one I can take a picture for you.
 * Step 3: ** Move your image into the Waldo file. Remove the white background first and then use your selection tools to make a selection of just your face and neck. Look at the Waldo example to see how much you need to have. Use your Transform Tool to resize, rotate etc. It should look realistic. If you need to you can erase some of your head to make it look like it is under the hat. The hat must stay on the head. Get the idea.


 * Step 4: ** Open the Wheres Waldo instruction file. Pay special attention to the highlighted area. DO NOT rush through this project. I can tell when you do and points will be deducted. DO NOT rush
