Basically, I want a self-portrait as an energetic G8, ready to take on the world and let nothing hold you back! 

 

Answer the following and submit it on teams:

What upsets you? what drives you crazy? What excites you? What makes you cry?  rage? or laugh?

 

By Reece

I am wanting exaggerated emotions!

Now that you have learned the basic tools of Photoshop, I want you to pull out your Cell, Arrange some lights (don’t worry, I’ll teach you how to set them up), and pose in an interesting & dynamic pose (your partner will take the pictures based on your Ideas). Please, take a bunch of photos.  From there you will email the best photos to your VSB account, Create a New Folder in your MA folder called Attitude, and save your pictures.

In this project, You are the Producer, Director, Model, and Graphic Designer

 

Things to think about:

The image:

If you want you can take your image anywhere you want.  If you have a specific place you think will work for what you want to say through your work, that’s GREAT!

BUT TIME IS LIMITED SO GET IT DONE!!!

Alternatively, we can use Rm 301 to take pictures.  One studio light to put Light on your face… this will make your image look more 3D.

 

Lights:  Plug’em in, turn’em on, and move’em around until you like the way they make your model look… Once done, change places with your model and start vogueing!

The Pose:

Dynamic vs BORING… No Boring photos Please!

Limp limbs slumped in visual space seldom satisfy my sole… Action! Energy! I want Interesting Dynamic poses for this… our First actual Media Art project…

You will need someone to take YOUR picture… You will have to communicate to them what YOU want. Words and sketches both help!

 

The Graphic Design:

Photo: Dynamic pose… PLEASE!!!

Text: BE BOLD!  Use the style menu in Photoshop to make the text interesting!!!

By Nice

Background:
