Portraits and Self Portraits

You will be turning in 4 total images FOR YOUR FINAL

Here is what you need to do:

First - pick out 1 portrait and self-portrait. For these two images you can crop however you want to crop. This means you can make it whatever size you want to show off your photography skills and to send the mood and message you want to share with those two images.  When you crop, please make sure you set the resolution to 240. You will need to do levels and make the photo look good in Photoshop. If you are skilled in Photoshop and you want to do other effects with these two images - feel free.

When you are finished with these tasks please post these two images on your blog and label them Portraits and Self-portraits.

Second - pick out the portrait and self-portrait that you plan to use for your magazine cover when we return from holiday break. These images should be vertical and the subjects should fill the frame as much as possible. These images must be cropped 8.5 inches wide  by 11 inches tall and the resolution must be 300. I would prefer that you do not crop a really small segment of a larger photo for these two images. I wanted them to fill the frame as much as possible. You will need to do color corrections on these images by using levels as well. Do not do anything else to these images at this point. Later, when we return from break or the last week of this semester, I will share some tutorials on cut-outs and using text in Photoshop. For now, I just want to see the images you plan to use for your magazine cover. These may be the exact same images as above if you desire.

When you are finished with these tasks, please post these two images on your blog in a separate post and label them Magazine Cover Images.
