Welcome to the tutorial for the One Shot Assignment! This assignment can be tricky so I’m making this tutorial to offer my advice and instruction on a simple way to complete it.

What you will need:

A photo with multiple subjects

Microsoft Word

A photo cropping tool

Step 1: Choose your photo

Either take a new photo or choose a photo that you have saved. I would suggest picking a photo that includes a lot of different subject in it so that you can split it up into a lot of different segments. There is not much instruction for this assignment, but one way to think about it is to try and tell a story through the rearranging of your selected photo. If you do not have a personal photo that you think would be appropriate for this assignment then try finding one online that has lots of subjects. I will be using a personal photo!

Step 2: Editing the Photo

Once you’ve chosen your photo, open it in your photo cropping tool. Before you crop it, make sure you’ve decided how large you want each segment to be.

Crop the photo that you have used the entire picture and you have the desired portions of the photo separated and saved individually.

Open a word document and insert all of the individual portions into the document. Resize them and arrange them next to each other.

Play around with the position of the photos until you’ve got your desired format. Maybe try to tell a story. Maybe try to create a new photo. Make it your own!

Take a screen shot and open up your cropping tool again. Crop the screen shot so that only your photo creation is selected and save this new picture. This new pic is your final product! Easy, simple and fun!

I tried to make my story about a girl who visits a park and then sees some kids reading a plaque about some U.S. history. It’s not the best story, but you’d be surprised how hard it is to come up with a cohesive story out of just one picture.

Good Luck!
