2019-20 Photo One

  The Unseen This Project is about finding those interesting,  unnoticed things that people obliviously walk by every day. Your challenge is to go out on the High School campus and take photos of things that people don't usually notice, or have never seen. Take the opportunity to explore parts of the campus you haven't seen before--discover something interesting and document it through photographs. This is a shooting project, so an index print (24 exposures) is required along with a final image.

  Tilt/Shift Effect       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. Ex. of parallax corrected with a tilt/shift lens. 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...

LIGHTHOUSE CHALLENGE This challenge is about altering the pixel-data from an existing photograph to create a completely new and different artistic image.   The image you will use as your source material is an image of a lighthouse--the 1st image above. Directly below that, is a much larger version of the image--this is the one you will download to your computer to alter. Start by Control/Clicking on the large lighthouse photo and saving it to your computer.  Open the photo in Photoshop and manipulate it any way you wish, to create an interesting, possibly abstract image. Crop, duplicate, use filters, mirror images, curves, levels, layer effects, slice, dice, etc...anything at your disposal to create an engaging re-interpretation of the original image.  Experiment and get creative--there are no rules or limits for what you produce. Below are some student examples...

RON MAN What happens when you remove just one letter from a movie title? http://twistedsifter.com/2014/11/austin-light-illustrates-movie-titles-with-one-letter-removed/ RON MAN http://twistedsifter.com/2014/11/austin-light-illustrates-movie-titles-with-one-letter-removed/ FINDING EMO http://twistedsifter.com/2014/11/austin-light-illustrates-movie-titles-with-one-letter-removed/ PUP FICTION All of the above were created by removing just 1 letter from the movie title. For your next project you will be doing something similar.  You will be allowed to either add, subtract or substitute one letter in the movie title(s) of your choosing.  You will create   2  graphic  solutions. Your solutions may be designs, illustrations or composite images.

Principles of Visual Hierarchy https://alvalyn.com/capture-attention-with-visual-hierarchy/ Visual Hierarchy is used to rank design elements and influence the order you want your users to view them. By using principles like contrast, scale, balance and, more, you can help establish each element in its rightful place and help the most important elements stand out.  Size and Scale Color and Contrast *Typographic Hierarchy Spacing Proximity Negative Space Alignment Rule of Odds Repetition Leading Lines Rule of Thirds Perspective *Ex. of Typographic Hierarchy: Please explore the links below for a more in-depth look at Visual Hierarchy: https://99designs.com/blog/tips/6-principles-of-visual-hierarchy/ https://www.canva.com/learn/visual-hierarchy/ https://xd.adobe.com/ideas/process/information-architecture/visual-hierarchy-principles-examples/
