Scholarship Opportunity for Seniors (FYI)

I’m very excited to let you know that Jostens has become an ambassador for something really exciting called the Purpose Challenge!

It’s an awesome campaign to help high school seniors find their purpose in life, write better essays for their college applications and apply for the chance to win $25,000 in scholarship money.

What’s awesome is that the Purpose Challenge is grounded in research from UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and it features a free online resource with engaging video content, reading materials and brief written exercises – like imagining your ideal life at age 40 – to help high schoolers better develop their sense of purpose. Their toolkit provides step-by-step guidance on how to write a meaningful college essay and students can then submit their completed essays in a contest to win up to $25,000!

For more info, please check out the Purpose Challenge's website, introductory video, and press release, especially the endorsement of Michelle Obama’s education initiative, Reach Higher...How cool is that?!

Assignment: Yearbook Marketing

Today you will begin creating materials for marketing. You'll learn what marketing is, how companies utilize it and how to appeal to your demographic. 

1. You will research movie posters that are popular with your generation. 

2. You will choose a topic which would fit the design, using the above examples as a reference. 

[topics included in the yearbook range from Sports, Events, Dances, Awards, Acceptances, friendship, Academics, Arts, Admin, Teachers.ETC ETC ETC ETC ]

3. Design a movie poster in Photoshop using the same layout and fonts (as close as possible) but your words, ideas and images. 

The goal? Advertise the product with something people can relate to, sell the product. 

Post completed poster to your blog by Wednesday 11/22/17

PHOTOSHOP FILES MUST BE 300 resolution

Photowalk: JFKMHS

For this week's photo walk, we will be taking pictures that are "JFKMHS". Think about the yearbook and images that are featured. Each of you will be required to post FIVE images that follow RULE OF THIRDS and represent "JFKMHS" in some way. The final step to this project is to upload these images to yearbookavenue.com under the folder "Student Photographers".

These Photos can be posed or candid, as long as you are paying attention to angle of the subject matter as well as rule of thirds. FIVE photos must be posted and put into yearbookavenue for credit.

Assignment: Why Watermarks?

What is a watermark? 

Question: What is a watermark? How can I add a watermark to my photos.

Adding a visible watermark is a common way of identifying images and protecting them from unauthorized use online. Today, you're going to create an effective watermark and apply it to your digital photos or art work.

Answer: A watermark is a visible embedded overlay on a digital photo consisting of text, a logo, or a copyright notice. The purpose of a watermark is to identify the work and discourage its unauthorized use. Though a visible watermark can't prevent unauthorized use, it makes it more difficult for those who may want to claim someone else's photo or art work as their own.

Tips for Effective Watermarking

If you are going to use a watermark, care should be taken to ensure that the watermark is effective, not only for proving that an image was modified, but also for educating the would-be pirates about copyright and ownership. Ideally, the watermark should be a copyright symbol along with the name of the owner, and the URL of the owner's web site, if applicable. This not only conveys the message of copyright, but it gives others an opportunity to contact the original owner of the image. Watermark placement can be a bit of a balancing act. The watermark should be placed carefully so as not to detract from the image too much, but you also don't want to place the watermark in a area of solid color or a textured area where removal would be easy to conceal. The example on this page was designed to show an extreme example of watermarking and would be is far too distracting for a portfolio photograph. In practice, the watermark should make up a smaller percentage of the overall image area compared to this example.

     

How to Watermark Your Photos

So now that we've discussed what a watermark is and how to make them effective, you may be wondering how to put a watermark in your images. There are many methods for watermarking photos. We'll use Photoshop for today's purposes. Please open the program and open the tutorial in your Photoshop folder, watch the video in this post OR find an online tutorial that is easier for you to follow.

 Your Assignment: Create a Watermark, save it on a transparent layer (PNG file) so you can use it again, as well as pasting it to one of your photos. POST your watermarked photo on your blog. 

POST YOUR COMPLETED WATERMARKED PHOTOGRAPH TO YOUR BLOG FOR CREDIT FOR TODAY'S CLASSWORK. We will Critique your Painting Parody tomorrow as I am out today unexpectedly. 

Assignment: Famous Parody Painting

It's time to have some fun. Your challenge, is to PUT YOURSELF in a famous painting. 

Adaptation of Edvard Munch's, The Scream

Adaptation of Edvard Munch's, The Scream

You may replace something that was already there, or add to it, if you think the painting is just missing something. Example of both of these can be seen above, in re-creations of Edvard Munch's "The Scream", whose original I've included for your reference

Edvard Munch's, The Scream (Original Painting)

You may also find, you'd like to match the painting techniques these masters of their craft tried so hard to exemplify, see anything odd about Mona here???

Adaptation of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa

Take images for this assignment today and/or for homework after you've found a painting you want to use during class.  DUE POSTED BY WEDNESDAY 11/15

Photowalk Friday: Playing with Light & Shadow

For this week's assignment, you may not be able to get this image merely on our photo walk, however other then keeping up with the photo-a-day, you have no other homework over the break. You may choose to shoot this image on your own and hand in on Monday 11/13 when we return from break.

You are to manipulate light using shadows and take an interesting photo. It does not have to include a person, and object casts a shadow! If it's not sunny, use a light source- a lamp, a flash, etc...
