Photojournalism (Definition) The art or practice of communicating news by photographs, especially in magazines. My examples above are based on the following real news headlines: If I've done my job well, the images tell a story and are interesting and attention-getting at the same time, With a little luck you could match the headlines to the images with no problem.
It should be stated now that proper photojournalism does NOT include fictional Photoshop images... but it will for us for this assignment :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSIGNMENT: 1. Choose four (4) different news stories that in some way have something to do with the Coronavirus, one for each of the following catagories: - Celebrities - Professional Sports/Entertainment - Politics - Science 2. Screen shoot the headlines as I have done above. Using the Snipping Tool if you are working on a Windows computer is a really good way to do it. Press the Shift, Command and 3 keys all at once for Macs. 3. Create four (4) images, one for each of the four headlines, by combining and editing images in Pixlr, Photoshop or another raster image editing program. Your project work will be graded based on the following: - Quality of Photo Editing - Your Images "Tell the Story" of Your Headlines in an Understandable Way - Your Images are Interesting and Attention-Getting (Funny, Scary, Unusual, etc.) When you are done, arrange your four new images and your four headlines in one big image measuring (approximately) 1000 pixels x 1500 pixels. If you make it too small the whole thing will be blurry or pixelated and hard to see. If you make it too big the finished file will be too big and it will be hard to send to me. My example below measures 1000 pixels x 1600 pixels. You do not have to put your final project together to look like my example (pics on the left, headlines on the right, blue background, etc). Put all the stuff together in any way you see fit. Comments are closed.
