Time to get organized

Major assignments left in the year:

1. Photo Essay - Look over the preview assignment to remind yourself what they look and sound like.

Decide on a topic and what type of essay you will create NOW. Choos one of the following:
–Introspective photographer – best for a focus on things. Let us into your mind.
–First person documentary – best for interesting people. Let them tell their own story.
–Narrated documentary – best for interesting events. Put the viewer there.

Your final product must be at least one minute long and have at least 10 photos in it.

If you need to sign out a camera and/ or voice recorder, be ready to tell me what you are doing and when you will need the equipment by May 8.

Everything must be shot and recorded for this assignment by May 21. Final product is due May 28.

2. Photo Illustration-

TODAY, you should post an idea for an illustration along with the type of illustration you will be making.
If you need an idea, read the newspaper (ask me for one), look on news sites etc. Good photo illustrations are based on VERY specific ideas.

ALL content in the photo illustration must be original.

Start collecting / shooting images. If you don't know how to do something in PhotoShop, ask for help.

Everything must be shot for this assignment by May 8. Final product is due May 21.

3. Final Indesign project-
This is your final exam and a major grade. You will be given VERY specific guidelines for your final document soon. For now, read over the fall final exam, and the action/ architecture InDesign wrap up.
