Off-the-Register: PHOTO/IMAGE SEARCH




DUE by MONDAY, DECEMBER 4th... 9 (end of day)

THREE PHOTO IMAGE OPTIONS 
for the 
"Off-the-Register" PROJECT

Here are the instructions/requirements etc as found in class: 
(PDF links of these instructions are at the bottom of the blogpost as well)


PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES for the
“OFF THE REGISTER” PROJECT:

what:

Can be virtually anything, as long as it is:

·        appropriate subject matter
·        not a copyrighted image (has a big copyright or X through it, meaning it’s meant to be purchased)
·        a digital file (jpeg) image that can be worked with in Photoshop
·        an image that will work when filtered into black and white or “shades” of gray
·        NOT an animation/cartoon etc… must be a PHOTO
·        a large enough file (so that there are enough pixels to work with when filtering/manipulating)


WHERE TO GET THEM:

Can be photos that you took yourself, OR photos you find online, etc


HoW TO GET FILES OF THE RIGHT SIZE:

In a Google images search…

·        Click on “Search Tools”, then under “Any Size”, select Large or Medium. (but the larger, the better! Large is best)
·        You can also select “Larger than…” and 800x600, MINIMUM… anything smaller won’t filter well!!

SavE FILES AS JPEGS*, (*in your student folder!) THEN EMAIL ... :
*make sure you save the actual file/photo, NOT the thumbnail! (find tips on the next blog post!)

For points and for approval (on subject matter and file size)…
           
·      email to jdoezie@ausd.net
·        in the SUBJECT LINE, put your name and period number
·        ATTACH your THREE images, as jpegs (DON’T copy-paste, DON’T send them copied into a Word/Google doc…!!)
·        CC yourself on the email (if your email doesn’t automatically save sent messages), so you have the images as well!


EMAILED FILES ARE DUE BY MONDAY DECEMBER 4TH

CLASSROOM COMPUTERS MAY BE USED TO SEARCH FOR IMAGES
TWO DAYS ONLY( (((Dec 1 and 4)
after that, you will need to find your images OUTSIDE OF CLASS


Once you have sent in your images and they are approved by me (I will send you a return email with approval/suggestions etc.), FILTER THEM IN PHOTOSHOP to prepare your image to be screen printed!


You will only need ONE filtered image for the project, but you can test out different filters with one or all of the three photos you send to me—maybe only one will work like you want it to, or perhaps you’ll find a bunch of good options that you’ll need to choose from… but with three approved photos, you’ll have plenty to work with!

ADDITIONAL TIPS/INSTRUCTIONS are in the next post-- in terms of how to properly save full FILES, not THUMBNAILS-! (a common error :)
