The above photos were manipulated in Photoshop to make traditional photographs appear as if they were actually photographs of scale models or toys. The effect of real life, photographically turning into miniatures, is known as the Tilt/Shift effect.

The Tilt/Shift Effect is a novel photographic effect that can be created using a camera with front lens "movements".  That means a camera where the lens can be tilted and or shifted relative to the film plane ("image sensor" on a digital camera) of the camera...usually the lens is perfectly parallel to the film plane.

Lens movements are particularly useful in architectural photography where they can be used to correct the inherent parallax of traditional lenses.

The Tilt/Shift effect can also be created in Photoshop and there are many, many tutorials online that walk you through the process.

For today's exercise, you are to find a Tilt/Shift effect tutorial on the Web and follow it to the best of your ability. 

Once you have completed the tutorial, submit your resulting image to Schoology along with the URL of the tutorial you followed.

Most of the tutorials show a "before" image that you can download by Control/Clicking on it. If you cannot download the image that way, you can always enlarge it in your browser (Command/+) and take a screenshot of the image by going Command/Shift/4 and dragging a box around the photo.

Just Google "tilt shift effect Photoshop" or some variation of that and you will find plenty of options to choose from.

Here is a Link to some of the best Tilt/Shift examples on the Web:

Shelf Life https://www.transformedhearts.com/planned-obsolescence-and-conspicuous-consumption/?v=402f03a963ba There is a concept in design know as "Planned  Obsolescence ".  The idea is that products are purposefully designed to become obsolete--so that they need to be constantly replaced or upgraded.  The time between when an item is offered for sale and when it becomes obsolete is known as its "'shelf life"--a grocery industry term referring to the "life" of perishable goods. Some products become obsolete as a result of design/concept flaws (Ex. *Jarts), some become obsolete due to changing tastes and social mores (Ex. Snuff, Corsets), some become obsolete due to technological advancements (Ex. Flip phones), and some become obsolete due to built-in or "planned" failure (Ex. *Light bulbs) Prior to starting the project, you are to research the topic of "planned obsolescence" and answer the following (You should post your answers to
