Selfie Assignment

Ultimate Selfie

Do you know the history behind this controversial selfie?

Create the ULTIMATE SELFIE

You're going to need an NEW photo of yourself to start working with in photoshop. This photo could be the basis of logos, avatars and other artwork we're going to make in the class.

Part 1: Photography

DEMONSTRATE the principles of BLT & F,

and the capabilities of your mobile device as a camera:

  1. RESEARCH - Check the specifications for your mobile device on the web - what is it's MAXIMUM RESOLUTION?

  2. PLAN - Adjust the settings on your device to achieve the Maximum resolution. Use the notes under PHOTOGRAPHY to help you plan an ideal selfie photo shoot

  3. CREATE - Take at least 6 different photos that clearly experiment with and demonstrate:

    1. Your understanding of Background, Lighting, Tripod (or stability) and Framing

    2. Your ability to turn ON and OFF the flash of your device (Assuming it has one)

TE - do NOT use additional filters or effects - the pic should come from the standard photo app of your device

TIPS:

  • IF you don't have a mobile device, you may be able to share with another student, or borrow a point and shoot camera from your instructor

Part 2: File Management

  1. Transfer your best 5 photos on to your P: drive

    1. TIP - INSTALL the GoogleDrive APP on your mobile device to make it easy to transfer your images to your P: drive

    2. Learn to PROPERLY DOWNLOAD images from your GoogleDrive - don't accidentally download the low-res THUMBNAIL

  2. Name them all with the proper FILENAME CONVENTIONS

    1. TIP Highlight all five photos at once, and use the [F2] key to start rename them. The photos will all be renamed, with a sequential number appended to the filename

  3. UNBLOCK each photo file.

    1. RIGHT MOUSECLICK and CHECK the properties to UNBLOCK downloaded images before you try to submit them to the HANDINS folder, or you'll get the 0kb error

  4. HAND IN your 5 named photos

    1. Drag or copy them to the appropriate class handin folder (or Google Classroom if your teacher instructs you)

Part 3: Photoshop Resizing

  1. Load your FIVE ORIGINAL photos into Photoshop and then edit them as follows:

    1. CROP each image to a size of exactly 500x500 pixels - be sure to frame your image to leave a healthy, even margin around your face

    2. Use SAVE FOR WEB to save the five photos in JPG format with appropriate names in an appropriate folder on your P: Drive

Part 4: Portfolio Presentation

  1. Create a new Ultimate Selfie page on your portfolio under PHOTOSHOP

  2. Upload your BEST cropped selfie and add anecdotes beside it to describe (using BLT&F) why you chose THIS version as your ULTIMATE SELFIE

  3. Add the original 5 images as thumbnails in the area below your Ultimate Selfie. Put the CROPPED versions beside each original for easy comparison.

  4. Add a text anecdote to explain how cropping affects the quality and filesize of your photos.

ASSESSMENT

To what level did you demonstrate the following skills:

  • Photography - Use of Background, Lighting, Tripod (stability, clarity of focus) and Framing

  • Photoshop - Correct use of the tools to resize and crop the images to specified dimensions

  • Portfolio Presentation - clear, effective presentation of your work with meaningful text anecdotes to describe what was learned

LEVELS

  1. Poor - the assignment shows little to no effort and may be incomplete

  2. Needs Improvement / Passable - a fair attempt has been made to complete the assignment, but there is a considerable amount of compromise in the quality of the work

  3. Competent - most of the skills have been effectively demonstrated

  4. Exemplary - the student has gone beyond expectation and demonstrated exceptional relevant skill and effort with the assignment
