Week Three

Overview

Creating a look, and image manipulations. Create an image for your blog header that

has a relationship with your blog design and an emphasis on shape and color composition.

In-Class

You will be emailed three images that exemplify a progression of manipulations that develop from one image. In-class you will follow the steps I took to produce each stage of manipulation. The tools covered in this in-class demo should be revisited in the completion of your blogger image header (due for homework--see below).

Photoshop

The image you are to create is to be installed (upload) and fitted for the header of your blog.

Create an image that you want your audience to associate with you, think image and identity. In photoshop manipulate the image in such a way that it has a visual relationship to the look and design of your blog.

For this assignment one goal is to create an iconic image (an image that has a clear and immediate impact that you think your audience will easily remember—and associate with you). For this, consider the number of images you work with, will it be a single image or a composite of images.

Blog Update

Add as a "gadget" to your blog a "Link List" to class blogs. Blogger will give you steps to take to add class blogs to a list of links. In the coming week you will be asked to add all of the class blogs to your list links.
