... ALMOST THE LAST POSTING...

THE LAST PHOTOSHOP CONTEST-

They say PRESIDENTS age twice as fast as 'normal' people- due to the tremendous stress, this is a digital -projection of what Obama will look like after his presidency.

If you choose to participate in this, you'll be EMAILING me your image by the end of class on THURSDAY MARCH 1st...

Nicholas.Liebrecht@orecity.k12.or.us

It is worth 10 points EXTRA CREDIT if you do a GOOD JOB- which means it is convincing/realistic...

DIGITAL AGING.

Make this picture of - TAYLOR LAUTNER (click here for the image) - look OLD.
Use whatever PhotoShop skills you have acquired... Mr.L cannot help you with this- since it is a CONTEST!!! you are on your own...

***************************************
ALSO- do not forget about THE FINAL story PROJECT!!! Telling a STORY through 20 pictures and arranging them in PowerPoint AND SHOWING IT on our FINALS day- (march 7th) is worth 50 points!!!!

INSERTING ASSIGNMENT(s)

There are 3 INSERTING assignments that will go into your INSERTING album on your PhotoBucket by this Friday, Feb.24th for 30 points.

The FIRST TWO are graded solely on their ability to BE CONVINCING, the last one is worth 10 points just to complete it...

You WILL need to post the ORIGINAL photos with your #1 and #2 Inserts for credit.

#1- UFO over OCHS- insert a flying saucer over the school. These work best if you use a photo of the school that YOU have taken, so you can get the 'right' amount of sky... c'mon, it'll take 10 minutes to FIND a SO-SO pic online and 9 minutes to just go take the PERFECT one...

#2- YOU in HISTORY- take a photo of yourself and insert it into a HISTORICAL scene- were you at Woodstock? Did you help raise the flag at Iwo Jima? Maybe you were right there behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at his famous "I have a dream..." speech... Or get wacky- were you with the original astronauts on the first moon landing?
THINK about taking a picture of yourself with a pose that FITS the picture you are inserting yourself into...

#3- Pimp my Ride- based on the old MTV show where people MAXXXED out their cars to an absurd degree. Trick-out my Subaru... Go for FUNNY, REALISTIC, or just plain TOUGH.
Go HERE and double click the Subaru for the LARGE IMAGE file...

TEXT #4

The final TEXT WEEK assignment is:

REPLACE TEXT

In this assignment, you will be taking a photo that HAS text in the image already and digitally ERASING it and REWRITING new text in its place.

You may use an internet image.

You MUST post the ORIGINAL IMAGE, so I can see what you changed.

DO NOT USE THIS IDEA- but think of a sign you could change, like a Burger King sign that originally lists their special deal to be rewritten to say : FREE BURGERS or FREE HUGS or even McDONALDS IS THE DEVIL!!!

A traffic sign could be rewritten to inform drivers of a new, crazy law?

A billboard?

The sign on the front of a business?

A sign here at school?

A protester's sign

Graffiti?

Where else can you see text in a picture???

ANIMAL MERGE VOTE

Vote for your favorite TWO merged animals.

SEE THEM ALL HERE.
(there's TWO pages of them...)

I suggest:

ONE VOTE for the funniest
and
ONE VOTE for the one that is most convincingly 'blended'

Your POST should contain your TWO VOTES and your INITIALS and look like this:

#5 and #12
