Project 5 Writeup
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 until 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 discussion board for this
class. Do this by going to this course on KnightVision; then click on
"Communications", "Discussion Boards," and then on the board for this class.
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.
Submitting Your Working
There are three things you have to do for this project:
- Post your modified image to the discussion board on KnightVision. (This
must be done two days before the official due date. The image you
post may be incomplete, only partially modified.)
- Post a reply to the image that you like best on the discussion board on
KnightVision. (This must be done on or before the official due date.)
- Submit your completed, modified image as an attachment to Project 5 in
KnightVision. (This must be done on or before the official due date.)
