Your Name in Pictures

Now that we have collected our alphabets,

you get to make a word of your choice out of them!

Assignment:

Step 1: In your sketchbook, write the word you plan to make

Your word must have at least 5 letters, no more than 10 letters

(more than 10 letters is really hard!)

Underneath your word, write 5-7 reasons why you chose it.

What makes it special to you??

*Your word must represent something important to you, think hard! You will be writing about it at the end!*

Step 2: Open PhotoPea

Step 3: Create a New doc.

Name it: LastName_Word (watever word you're choosing to make; ei. Yelenick_Shark)

Dimensions: 2 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide PER letter

Background: Transparent

Step 4: Pull in all of the letters that make up your word/name

Step 5: Organize the letters in a way that fills the space and so that the letters fit together in a sensible way. No letters are too big or too small, they all "fit" together.

Once you have formatted your doc and checked your spelling, merge the layers: Shift+Ctrl+E

Step 6: Edit your photos to have a THEME (b&w, color pop, etc.)

Black/White: IMAGE > Adjustments > Black and White... Color Overlay: IMAGE > Adjustments > Color Balance...

Great Job!
