Mid Term / Self Directed Exercise

Tuesday November 8

SIZE: 1024px x 768px

RESOLUTION: 72 px/inch

INCLUDED TEXT: Veteran's Day

Midterm is a self directed exercise to reflect on knowledge gained and to be aware of what needs to be practiced. Not necessary to use all images. You can't study for this exercise/test/design. All Photoshop concepts you should know or used. I will give a brief over view of what needs to be included in the design/photograph. You will have a half an hour to 45 minutes to complete the work. Try your best. Think of this as a self test for you as a designer/photographer to figure out what you may need to review in Photoshop to clearly understand the software by the end of the semester. This exercise will be graded more on effort and if all six Photoshop concepts are included and layers are labeled properly in the screenshot you turn in. This exercise will not have a high point value only 15 or 20 points so do not worry if things do not come together as well as you like.

You will be given 5 to 10 images. You will not have to use all the images. You will choose one word that connects to the images and your concept and place that into your design.

Must include

1. Layers

2. Layer Mask or Vector Mask

3. Shape Layer

4. Adjustment Layer

5. Blending Mode

6. Text Layer

Restoring Photos
