Scenario: People magazine has an opening in a rather odd, yet interesting Department of Mind Games. People contacted Mr. Carlton, ACE, to ask if he would do some free-lance work and submit the Photoshopped images to be printed in upcoming issues of People as the current "Second Look" designer is on a six-month maternity leave.
As it turns out, Mr. C. is too busy - so as you can see, you've been given the task to earn an "A" not a "Z". Please follow the directions, each and every one, think, be clever, this project shall be fun. Mr. C. was just kidding about the offer from People Magazine, though remember what happened when Jack brought home those beans.
Pictured below is Mr. Carlton's handy work...now it's your turn.
Below are images from People Magazine.
Specifications:
Using Ps open a "New" doc. an scale the canvas to 8.5 wide x 11 inches tall, 300 dpi, CMYK.
Title the Ps document LASTnameFIRSTnameBlk#3SL
Search Google or another source for a full color photograph which includes people, as this is for People Magazine.
Study your unique image and consider items/areas that can be "adjusted" for the project.
Adjust your workspace so that all components of this project will be easily viewed and look like the "real thing".
Crop the photo if necessary to fit the identical images side by side or one under the other.
Place letters at the top of your images as close to the example above as possible without copying the letters and pasting on your design.
Duplicate the format for the image description, 10 boxes and the answers inverted.
Make the your "Second Look" game looks professional so that it could be submitted to People magazine for publishing.
Until the cover is ready for submission, save as a .pds file each day, save it in your Google docs.
Apply an unsharp mask the image after the "Second Look" is complete
Add this to your Prezi, as a jpeg file, and continue to learn how to receive an "A" on your final exam.
To submit for grading, save the image as a Ps doc. and jpeg. Email the jpeg file to flhstechlab@gmail.com by due date.
Print your JPEG COPY on the COLOR printer...JPG File only!
Each "Second Look" will be printed in color and given to the creator upon grading. (View the Printing link in the Comm Tech 1 section for printing directions, link is below)

Guidelines:
Use layers of text, images and photographs
If the colors and brightness, use curves, levels, or Hue/Saturation to get the images closer.
Use the color blending mode on your color layers most of the time. If a color doesn’t look right even after hue and saturation adjustments, try some of the other modes.
Evaluation: 100 Pts.
Do the images look very similar except for minor differences? Is the brightness and coloring natural?
Email the final "Second Look" project to instructor as a jpeg file by October 1, 2014.
Enrichment:
Create another "Second Look" using the same techniques but different photogragh.
