Homework:

• Plan your strategy for completing the work on time

Agenda : [60]

• Make sure you are meeting all project requirements [xx]
• PSA Project Documents are in your Google Classroom as well
• Student Exemplars & Questions 
• Order of Operations:
• Select minimum 5 high resolution source images
• CREATE NEW document with an  8x10 inch canvas size
• Open and place (5) images on 8x10 canvas size
• ROUGHLY Mask & Place to TEST your IDEA
• Go over the requirements and rubric with your partner to make sure you are completing the requirements
• Call John over to consult on progress by the end of the period for full marks
• PSA Photoshop Technical Requirements  (negotiable depending upon artistry)
• CANVAS SIZE:  8 x 10 inches - set this when you create the document from FILE | NEW
• MINIMUM COMPONENTS: 
• Multiple images (5+) will be combined to make the final product - NO WATERMARKS ALLOWED
• You should be doing a LOT of modification to the component images you use - do not use images that are already complete or “done”, that is plagiarizing
• Must use masks to show and hide elements
• Must use transformations and/or warps
• Must use adjustment layers and styles (‘fx’)
• Pay attention to these work habits
• Use groups/folders to apply effects to multiple layers
• Individual layers that have a repeated mask or adjustment on them and should have been grouped will lose points
• KEEP ALL USED LAYERS intact, never merge them
• Delete all UNUSED layers.
• TEXT is expected (but not required if message is clear and would be compromised by the addition of text)
• No sloppy work
• Attention must be paid to colors, font selection and component placement - NO WATERMARKS ALLOWED
• All selections and resulting masks and cuts must be clean and professional
• Appropriate masks and filters are used to achieve desired effects
• Everything on a proper layer for its purpose
• Elements are grouped for organization and ease of use
