Photo Hunt

What: We will make a photo hunt!!

Why: Because art isn't just looking at pretty pictures...

How: Using the industry standard tools you learned last semester, particularly Photoshop, you will change 10 images within a photo to stump a friend.

For this assignment, you will make a "Find the differences" photo hunt, where you alter a photograph 10 times. The purpose is to have a classmate (or any audience) try to find the changes you've made. Be sure they are subtle and well-executed in photoshop! This will serve as a review of the photoshop tools we learned last semester.

STEP ONE: Go outside and take a busy photo and upload it to your desktop.

STEP TWO: Open your image in PS, IMMEDIATELY save a copy (format: JPEG) to your desktop. This will be your "Before Image."

STEP THREE: *Make sure you have saved a JPEG copy of the original on your desktop (see step two).

STEP FOUR: Begin editing your photo by making changes to different items/elements in your photo.

Tools you might use include the stamp tool, paintbrush, eraser, clone, bandaid, layers, etc.
