Academics Photography Wrap Up

  1. Make sure your best and worst academic shots are posted on your blog.
    See assignment below.
  2. Open the “sample_xx” InDesign document you have saved in your folder.
  3. Page 2-5 should be filled.
  4. On page 5, do the following:
    i. Crop the best academic shot to fit the space you created
    ii. In the spot for the main headline, type the name of the class you shot
    iii. If you made a sub-headline, type a simple sentence describing the class
    iv. In the caption area, type a full 2 sentence caption.
  5. Print page 5 and get names if you need to
  6. Remember to include the 5Ws and the H in the first sentence, and background information in the second
  7. On page 6, create a headline area called “ color study, CMYK”
  8. On page 7, create a headline area called “light study”
  • In Photoshop, Open your cropped best academic shot, and do the following:
    Image > mode > CMYK
    Window> Show Channels
    View> Proof Colors
    i. Hit Ctrl +1, Ctrl +2, Ctrl +3, Ctrl +4 to cycle through the color channels visually.
    ii. Make sure the CMYK Channel is selected
    iii. Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels
    iv. In the channel dropdown list, select cyan, and drag the whit slider all the way to the left to drop the levels to 0
    v. Drop the magenta and black levels to 0 also so only yellow is left.
    vi. Go to file > save as, and save this as “yellow”
    vii. Do the same to make a “cyan” and “magenta” and “black” file
  • Lay these out in your inDesign document (You will have to resize) on page 6
  • Label each image as the color it represents
  • Include the combined cmyk image as well as the 4 separations
