Finals Schedule:
2A - Wednesday, Dec. 17, 9:17 AM 3A - Fri. Dec. 19, 7:40 AM 4A - Fri. Dec. 19, 9:17 AM 1B - Tue. Dec. 16, 7:40 AM These concepts will be tested by completing several small projects on the day of your final. 1. Camera Settings: Know how to set the quality level, White Balance and Exposure Compensation. You will be asked to shoot several pictures and these settings matter! 2. Understand the elements and principles of composition and design. You will be asked to shoot pictures illustrating them! 3. Understanding of Adobe Photoshop will be tested. Know the following: How to set black point and white point WITHOUT clipping shadows or highlights (Levels adjustment layers). How to make tonal adjustments using Curves Adjustment Layers. How to make local adjustments using Layer Masks. Adding a vignette How to use Color Balance and Saturation Adjustment layers to correct color. Image sharpening Resolution and Image sizing. How and where to save your photos. Nearly every photograph that you make will need to be sharpened. There are a number of ways to do this, but to keep things as simple as possible, we will begin by only using one method... Smart Sharpen. We will look at an example in class, and if you need a refresher, view this video.
In order to print your photographs, they will need to be sized correctly. Remember, BEFORE you size your image, save it! Your layered, psd file is your master file that should NEVER be changed. After sizing, save the new file in the assignments folder so that I can find and print it. The dimensions should be NO LARGER THAN 8" X 10" @ 360 PPI. If a 10" image @ 360 PPI enlarges your photograph by more than 10%, then you should downsize it in increments of 60 PPI (300, 240, 180) to the largest possible resolution without significantly increasing the pixel count. Finally, please make note of the following due dates as we are nearing the end of the first semester. THESE DUE DATES ARE FINAL! I cannot accept work after the due dates as I need time to get your images printed and graded. PROCRASTINATION ON YOUR PART DOES NOT EQUATE TO AN EMERGENCY ON MINE! All semester projects and late work: DUE DEC. 5TH FOR A-DAY AND DEC. 8 FOR B-DAY. Final Portfolio images: Due Dec. 11 for A-Day and Dec 12 for B-Day |
