Take a picture of an everyday object and make it look larger than life.
Put a famous object from any Disney movie into focus. Blur everything around it, make the color pop out, BE CREATIVE! In your blog post, explain why you picked that object to focus on.
Draw, photograph, or paint your self portrait. Make it interesting, in some way tell a story about yourself within the image. You can use one or mulyiple images to complete this assignment.
It can be realistic or abstract.
Use drawing software a picture using only:
The picture can be representative or abstract. Play with size, colour, texture and overlaying – so dots can be large discs or tiny pin-pricks, they can look like spots or holes; curves can be deep or shallow; lines can be thick or skinny, long or short.
Find or scan an old advertisement (high resolution) and create a piece of cool clip art by extracting and cleaning up a particular element. Be sure to use a PNG file type to preserve transparencies, and try to make a high and medium resolution version. Inspired by Phil A Go’s awesome Toyota Corona Graphic Gift.
Using Photoshop or Gimp, combine at least two images (you may also use text) to create a shocking message.
Make an acrostic poem collage. Use each letter from your name and go onto flickr and search for a picture that represents you. Then you any photoediting to make it a collage.
Edit it to make it fun and creative. See if people can figure out what your name is!
This is an idea I came up with when I checked out a website about photography and compositing (http://gizmodo.com/5965219/these-awesome-photoshops-are-perfect-because-they-were-well-planned/)
Took two or more photographs of yourself on one location. You must not change the position of the camera and take care that the light does not change either. Use a photo editing software to arrange yourself two or more times on the same location. You may use masks and layers or simply the selection tool and the paste command. It may be helpful if you have already experience with photo editing.
I was in Urban Outfitters the other day and stumbled across a postcard pack labeled “Unbridled Passion” by Franco Accornero. It’s a collection of 30 different postcards from an artist who has painted more than 5,000 romance novel covers (as well as westerns, thrillers and sci-fi books). The postcards are really ridiculous on their own, but I thought for this Valentine’s day I would make them even funnier but adding my own captions.
That’s where the 2012 Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge for #ds106 comes into play: I challenge you to make your own captions for these postcards! You can use any photo editor or the Aviary one built right into flickr to add the caption.
Download one blank card from my flick set and add a caption that raises the love spirit to a new level. In addition to writing it up on your blog, when you post yours to flickr include the tag ds106valentine so we can assemble them all into giant virtual card set.
The past is strange. Remake this classic Marilyn Monroe “expressions sheet” with self-portraits or with the aid of a friend. Bonus points for the involvement of a stranger.
