Light Study

Time to add to your InDesign Document!

On Page Seven of your document, you should have typed the words "Light Study" as a headline. Complete this page by doing the following:

1. Layout the rest of the page.

• Make sure the page has three columns
• Place a text area under the headline that stretches the width of the document (margin to margin) and fill it with placeholder text. The text should be - Times new roman, 10pt, 11pt leading, over two columns
• Draw three boxes for photos, and leave one column of white space to the side of each box for a critique of the photo.
• There should be a dominant photo that is at least twice the size of the other boxes.
• Boxes should stretch from column to column in width.
• Make sure everything looks orderly and that there is consistant one pica internal spacing.
• Scan all of your light study B&W prints on the flatbed (300 dpi, Grayscale, .tiff)
• Save them into one of the group member's folders.
• Each group member will choose their favorite as a dominant, and two other photos. Each group member must save his/her own copy of the photos into his/her own folder.

2. Crop, edit, and place your photos

• Each photo must be cropped to fit the box in the layout, and the levels should be adjusted.
• File>Place the cropped photos into the layout.

3. Critique each photo

• Next to each photo, write a critique of the lighting including the following information: a)What was the task you were trying to accomplish with this photo? b) What were your shutter speeds and aperture settings? c) Describe the quality of light in the photo (soft, hard, shadow) d) Describe the direction of light e) Describe the amount of light f)what is the overall effect or feeling produced by the lighting?
