Note: Most of the classes this year are made up of first, second and third-year students. If you are a second or third-year student and you have done this assignment before, I will only expect that you do an even better job this time :-)
OK, so before you get into this assignment, let me advise you that at the very bottom of this post is a link to a tutorial I put up on our YouTube channel that will be EXTREMELY HELPFUL to you as you complete this assignment. PLEASE, take the time to watch it. Using your VERY BEST Photo Compositing skills, create an image of an imaginary animal doing something that is a uniquely HUMAN activity (something only people, among all other animals, do) in an unusual place. REQUIREMENTS: 1. Your imaginary animal will be created from images of bits and pieces of four (4) other animals. 2. Your animal will be placed into a background image that is separate from any of the other images you use. 3. Any other objects you put into your own composition (project) must come from images that are separate from any other images you use. 4. DO NOT use .png files or any other type of image that has a transparent or flat, single-colored background. SAVE ALL OF THE IMAGES YOU USE AS FILES THAT ARE SEPARATE FROM YOUR PROJECT. You will have to turn in your project AS WELL AS all of the original images. The image above is my finished project (teacher example). The image below is one in which I combined all of my "source photos'. Other Stuff: - Use images that have a pixel value higher than 1000 for the larger size. For example, let's say you find a photo in Google that you want to use. Underneath the photo will be numbers that represent the the number of pixels that the image is made of. If that photo has a pixel count of 232 x 312 (for instance), then it is a pretty low quality image. Don't use it. Choose another image with it's larger number being over 1000... let's say 800 x 1340. The background image should have a larger number above 1800 pixels. - For helpful hints and tips on photo compositing and digital painting (which you will have to do for this project), go to the YouTube channel. In YouTube, search "JLCP Art". Check the tutorials. They will be very helpful. The tutorial on Digital Painting (which is something you're going to need to do for this project) can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC9oS_gh0SY If the link doesn't take you directly to the video, copy and paste the address in the address bar of your browser.
