PROJECT #4 & #5: 'SCAPES, Parts 1 & 2

-
'SCAPES.

RATIONALE.
To practice and focus skills in Photoshop regarding layers, placing/rasterizing, adjusting color/value, edit+transforming selections, selection tools.

TO DO.
Use multiple photographic sources to create a believable -or- surreal photographic composite image that illustrates an understanding of perspective.

 Create THREE separate 'scape composite images.
Use very high-resolution images (1000x1000 minimum) from image searches.
See links below.
*Make sure you set your image search parameters to finding large files. 

THE THREE IMAGES.
1.    Each composite will be a combination of separate images/elements.
2.    IMAGE ONE must be a LANDSCAPE (no people or animals).
3.    The other TWO composites can be a landscape, space scape, city scape, or interior space, and include people/animals/food/landscapes/etc.

CONSIDER.
Sometimes the more images you use the more interesting your piece becomes.
Have fun with it, but make sure you create SEAMLESS additions to your overall image.
Your final images should look like a photo was made (that’s the goal).


WHAT WILL BE DUE.
IMAGE ONE: A Landscape with only land elements (combine FOUR+ land elements)
IMAGE TWO: A 'scape that utilizes animals, humans, objects (SIX+)
IMAGE THREE: A 'scape that is entirely of your own creation.
*A total of THREE separate Photoshop designs/composites will need to be created to be scored. 
**Total points possible: TWELVE/12 (Four/4 points per composite design)

CANVAS SIZE.
8.5 x 11 inches
resolution 220

FILE NAMING. 
LAST.Image1.jpg
LAST.Image2.jpg
LAST.Image3.jpg

*Save EACH final image as a .JPG
-and-
*Save EACH final image as an unflattened .PSD

(Save AS function, and change the FORMAT menu to the appropriate file extension)

Examples:  CARTER.Image1.jpg -or- CARTER.Image1.psd, etc.

GRADING.
Each scape will be scored on the rubric (below) up to FOUR points (TWELVE points total for the project) if it has met all the basic criteria (above).

GOALS FOR SCORING WELL.
Quality work & careful craftsmanship.
Seamless combining (via selection tools) of your chosen components.
Knowledge of perspective is incorporated and believable.
Tonality/color/light is addressed (via burn/dodge, image+adjustments, etc.)
