What’s in your bag?

Your purse, bag, packpack, murse, whatever, is your constant companion throughout your adult life. What are the essentials in your bag that get you through the day? Take a picture of the items and detail each of them with a description.

Poetry Art

Use one of your favorite poems as inspiration for a poster. Edit an image or create your own background using any photo editing software, add the poem, and make sure the background exemplifies the poems message. Get creative and have fun!

Create a Warning Poster

Create a poster warning people of some sort of danger. It can be a danger that isn’t ever present, like the lochness monster, or something really elaborate, like beware falling off of a rhino into a bath of lizards and Shia Lebouf. Have fun with it and get as creative as possible! Gimp or Photoshop are suggested.

Unsuspecting Friends

Take pictures of your friends at times where they are not aware that you are photographing them. Once you have a few photos put them into some kind of a collage. Make sure your friends are okay with the photo though before you post it. You don’t want to upset anybody. Have fun with this one, I showed my friends and they all got a nice laugh

Honest Game Cover

First you take a video game cover. Then you make an honest titile meaning what the game really is. Then you blot out the old title and put in your new title.

Storytelling Collage

Telling a story in a collage, creating a story for someone to view.  

Story Map

Using Knightlab’s Story Map, create a map telling a story of a trip you took or would like to take. Include pictures. They can be your own, or from flickr (just give them credit).   

Rainbow Showcase

Colors are an important tool that any good cinemotogrpaher will utilize to the fullest. Using clips from your favorite tv show or movie, try to showcase prominent examples of the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet/purple). Can you give a good reasoning behind your choices?

Make My Day

Plan your perfect day. Use either pictures you have taken, ones you draw, or ones from another source. Outline what it would be first with a schedule and then add the pictures with more specific details of what would be occurring.

Surreal Panorama

Create a surreal panorama by first making a panorama (duh), and then munipulating the photograph to make it out of this world. However, don’t go out and just make a panorama via your iPhone!!! Take some pictures and mash them together!
