Your Photos Used

  • Create a new folder in your online Picasa labeled "CD Photos" and upload all original photos used for your CD.
  • These photos will be compared to your final photos on your CD to see the effects. All photographs used must be your own; you cannot use any on the Internet etc.
  • To take pictures of yourself you can use a friend to take it but you must direct them how to take the picture (e.g. angles, lighting, settings).
  • You cannot use old photos; all pictures must have been taken by you exclusively for this project within the time frame the project was assigned.
