OK, keep in mind that this theme is all about having some fun. One of the ways we can deal with really frightening or difficult things is to make fun of them.
Any good idea for this thing could start with "Today, during quarantine, I decided to get out of the house and take a walk. Now I know what's really going on out there..." This will be another project in which we practice some skillful photo compositing/editing. In Pixlr (or any other raster photo editing program... if you've had trouble with Pixlr lately try searching something like "free online photo editing software" or "online raster editor" or "open source photo editing program"), create an original image that depicts/shows your imaginative idea of what the REAL apocalypse would look like. Please do the following: 1. Select an image to serve as your background that is recognizable as Jacksonville (here I used a photo that I took of Jax Beach with the pier in the background) 2. Add to the background at least twenty (20) other images to create your fictitious end of the world scene. 3. Try to make your idea entertaining, funny, unusual or in some other way very creative. 4. Your work will be graded based upon the creativity of your idea and the quality of your photo editing. Don't forget about things like shadows and highlights, reflections and other lighting effects. 5. Your work is due by the end of the day Friday, April 17. I am currently trying to figure out a better way for you guys to send me your work. I'll let everyone know by Wednesday what I discover. So don't send me any work until then please.
