Project 5
In this project you will use various images and Macromedia Fireworks, to
make a digitally modified image of yourself. In the end, the class will vote
to select the most interesting images.
You can do any sort of image manipulations you'd like (some listed
in Lab 5), but you should at least do the following:
- Use a picture of yourself, making any modifications you wish. (This can
be the same image that you used for Lab 5, but it does not have to be.)
- Include parts of at least two other relevant images (collected on-line,
say with Google image
search) overlaid or blended in.
- Apply at least two of Fireworks' filters to parts of the image. (See
and experiment with the options under the "Filters" menu.)
Professor Vander Linden has his
own example that he built by importing images into Fireworks and modifying
them using various filters. He's also collected other examples from some previous sections of FIT.
You do not need to shrink this image (as you did in Lab 5). While
you do not have to use the JPEG format, it's a better format to use
since you're working with photographic images.
As with Lab 5, though we may only support Fireworks in our labs, you may
feel free to use any other image manipulation package to which you have access
(e.g., Photoshop).
When your modified image is ready, do the following things for this
project:
- By Wednesday at lab time (two days before this project
is normally due), post a message to the Project 5 Picture forum for this
class. Do this by going to this course on Moodle; then click on
"Forums" and then on the link for "Pictures".
Post a message and attach your image for the rest of the class to see.
- By next Friday (the official due date for this
assignment), look over the images that have been posted and decide which you
like best. Post a message indicating which is your favorite and giving a
brief statement of what you like about the image. This post should be as a response to the
discussion item where the favorite image is posted.
Submitting Your Work
There are three things you have to do for this project:
- Post your modified image to the forum on Moodle. (This
must be done two days before the official due date -- that is, Wednesday by 12:30p.
The image you post may be incomplete, only partially modified.)
- Post a reply to the image that you like best on the forum in Moodle.
(This must be done on or before the official due date.)
- Upload your completed, modified image to Moodle Project 5.
(This must be done on or before the official due date.)
