Where is Waldo Project

What are your ideas for the "where is waldo" book project?

START YOUR DISCUSSION HERE.

For this project the "waldo" must be an identifiable person or object that the whole class can find high quality images of on the internet.

The ideas with the most comments will be put into a multiple choice question that will decide the "theme" for our combined "where is waldo" book project.

Project Abstract - Each student will create two pages for the class "Where is (blank)" book. The first image page will have 20 or more layers that use layer mask and clipping mask. The second text page will have a check list like format that asks the reader to find the (blank) and 4 other people or objects. Each student will receive print outs from the entire class. The following week we will meet in Mr. Aktas's studio art room in 204 to make a custom hard cover bound book using the pages from the class.

Puzzle Book Project

For this project we will be making a class puzzle book! Each student will be responsible for making a composition with 5 hidden/ camouflaged “things” and an accompanying text page with a list of the “things” that have to be found in the composition.

Please pick a path.

Path A (Pick this one if you are not sure what to do)

IMAGE PAGE

-Step 1. Find 2 backgrounds and merge them using a gradient layer mask.

-Step 3. Construct a Chimera (a hybrid animal that is made with 3 or more different animal parts using layer mask)

-Step 4. Fill your composition with 12 “things” (people, objects, parts, etc…)

-Step 5. Make 4 changes some of your 12 “things” using 1. Recolor Brush 2. Clipping Mask 3. Hue/Saturation Adjustment 4. Blending Mode

-Step 6. Add your main quest and 4 side quest images (these are the unique things that people have to search for in your puzzle page).

-Step 7. NAME ALL OF YOUR LAYERS

-Step 8. SAVE AS the file with your name eg. danielaktas.psd and submit as a photoshop file

TEXT PAGE

-Step 1. Create a background using any image

-Step 2. Use the type tool to include the following information; Title of the book, your name, the main quest, and the 4 side quests

Path B (Pick this one if you want less restrictions AND can demonstrate high quality skills in photoshop)

IMAGE PAGE

-Create a surrealist composition

-ONLY USE LAYER MASKS to hide pixels (no deleting)

-Use multiple techniques we learned in photoshop (it will be helpful to look back at old assignments)

-Include 1 main quest image and 4 side quest images

-Name all of your layers

TEXT PAGE

-Use text to include the following information; Title of the book, your name, the main quest, and the 4 side quests

*I WILL BE GRADING PATH B WITH HIGHER EXPECTATIONS
